late start music
США
Добавлен 19 янв 2013
Hi folks, I'm uploading many of the songs I've written over my 80+ yrs in the simplest video format I can manage. It's just going to be me, my voice, such as it is these days, and one of my guitars. I'll be typing out the lyrics for each of these below the video, as the the words are important to me.
I got my musical start at around 12-13 with guitar lessons for a year, and dabbled in playing till I got into art school (Layton School of Art, in Milwaukee Wis.) where I was invited by some other students to jam, and that turned into a band in about 1963. That band was called Shag, and some of our recordings are featured here on YT, including a regional 'hit' single we had called; Stop and Listen, and our album from 1969, called; Shag 1969. I played in a couple other CA. bands after that group, and have been writing all my adult life. Late start music is a reference to my "Grandma Moses" timing for making my work public. I hope you enjoy some of them. Please like, subscribe, and comment

Learn from Love VID 20250203 092723
My 1st song from a dream. Learn from Love. Dreamed I was playing in a club we used to work, and I had 3 female back up singers while I performed the song. The chorus was the most complete element that came from the dream. Hope you like it, and please hit the thumbs-up, subscribe and comment if you can. Lyrics are down below.
Learn from Love words and music Donald Luther
Even the world's greatest love affair never got anywhere
without a few real mistakes,
And no one you're likely to listen to would have you believe it's true
they don't look back on a few bad breaks.

We often blame ourselves for taking the slightest chance of
breaking hearts, but you're bound to feel a bit of aching

This is the Old Golddigger, and I'm playing on one of my resonator guitars.

Here's another "warts and all" video. My plan is to keep working on tighter renditions and better quality audio, so these will all be replaced as that happens, but the "bones" are here, so you can tell what's going on even with a bit of unnecessary noise or cracks in the voice. This is a song I wrote in the mid to late 70s when I was writing on piano, and had a little 8 trk studio. I recovered ...
Hold On VID 20250127 082815
Просмотров 13312 дней назад
This is a song called Hold On I wrote back in the 80s. I'm doing this at a teaching pace, as if I was showing it to my band for the 1st time. Since I'm tuned down a full step the opening chord is a D6, and the 2nd would be Eflat6. This half-step interval plays out throughout the song, and I'm not sure I've seen this in many other songs, though I may just not be that aware. Hold On words and mus...

Just a little explanation of my MO here on YT. I hopefully will make my efforts here more understandable for both the viewers who know me and also those who are not familiar with me or my music.

I'll provide the lyrics below, cause the transcripts suck for accuracy, and the words are important to me. Hope some of you like it enough to comment, like, and even subscribe cause there's much more yet to come as I uploa...
