Be Not Afraid
This song was pretty influential in my current situation. I heard it in church this morning. Then I realized it wasn’t terribly hard to play on the guitar. (HOORAY!) So me and my bad self decided to try it. I’m still a baby guitarist so don’t be brutal or I’ll kick you in the teeth.
I hope if any of you are having stressful times, you think about the words.
(remember to turn off the music player at the bottom!)

Hello Ritzy my love! I didn’t know you played. You should come here to give me lessons. =)
I’d pay you with fresh baked goodies. I really want to take lessons from a proffessional, but right now I’m learning from one of those “Guitar lessons for Dummies!” books. It’s super lame, but it’s working.

You’re doing an awesome job amanda.. Just go go go!! You can do that.. And I love your voice.. You’ll be awesome by the time i get there.. Maybe you should give me lessons.. I’m doing a good job with the contest by the way.. But I still need support.
After this round, all contestants would be back to zero.. So yeah… Uhm, oh by the way, we’re having a xanga chat right now… You want in?
@purplepixiepoo -
Sure dude. I’m going to bed in a few minutes but I’ll listen in for a few. Is it on AIM?
@life_by_us -
yeah…
Beautiful
You’re coming along beautifully, little one. By the time you get home, you will be ready to lead the choir. Have I told you today that I love you
first thing first i wanna say i was afraid i would not have my left-over teeth in place after if i didn’t listen to this song too!! haha
just kidding
that’s sooo cool…even if your baby guitarist it’s awesome! i always wanna learn to play it but still got no chance to buy one! lucky u
Great job! Of course…the first song I heard upon landing here was Frank’s “I’ve Got the World On A String” and thought, hey, that song sounds familiar and had to make sure I was on the right site, not my own
.
Keep up with your practicing ::nods:: and you have a beautiful voice, thanks for the song…I mean the one you played…it came at the right time for me.

V.

I borrowed my sis-in-law’s Takamine Jasmine. Nothing fancy, just something to learn on. Learning is a great stress reliever when the kids *finally* go to bed. I’m getting nice little callouses on my fingertips. =)
By the way, I posted on my pulse that I stole about half of your playlist. I love it. It’s all the music I have on my hard drive but never thought to put on my site.
@old_and_cranky -
Thanks old lady. I love you. I talked to you on the phone yesterday and didn’t even remember to tell you happy anniversary. I remembered the day *before* but not the day *of*. I get my memory skills from you!
@life_by_us - Yeah, I did see the pulse you did, just wasn’t expecting it when I came on
Yeah, practicing/playing music with an instrument is a great stress reliever…
You’re just a beginner on the guitar? Are you sure? You sounded amazing! And you have a beautiful voice, dear! Keep on playing and singing!
So, it sometimes helps to turn off the music on your page.
I was like, “Boy this is a jolly song!” I was hearing Ella Fitzgerald instead of you.
You did good, singing and playing!
Gee, I was going to comment that it was a beautiful version of an awesome song. I was going to tell you I was actually impressed, and had visions of you on stage at the G.O.O. ( please tell me you know what that stands for!) singing this. I was thinking, “she might have a future in this!” but alas, you told us all to shut up, so my words will go unsaid, which will cause you to doubt anyone enjoys it, and then where will the world be!!!??!!! stop the madness! take back the ” and I’m a beginner, so shut up ” !
great job kid.
Beautiful! This is awesome, you’ve got to sing more!
Thanks for the kind words, love. I was a little embarrassed to put my voice on there but the recording sounded LAME all by itself.
@James3_1 -
YES, I know what G.O.O. is. Gorgeous Orlando Orphans. Duh.
@life_by_us - um, yeah. I’m speechless. Even this “retard” couldn’t have come up with that one! And I must say, adding that little personal touch, Orlando, that was just priceless. You could have said something like Oklahoma, or even Odessa, but no, you selflessly added Orlando, my metro. *sob* I am so unworthy of this compassion…. *sniffle*
you did fantastic! beautiful!
That voice is why you sang in my wedding!!! Still absolutely angelic. Lots of love cuz
@kjclaycamp - I love your profile pic! Your husband looks like he’s thuggin. I love you and happy belated birthday!
