Post by Bishop Ronnie P Hall »

Hello Again, My fellow Steelers.
Here we go again. This time with a special dedication to a very special friend in the land called South Africa. I hope that it is enjoyed by the same.

Hey Charles! :D (Pompe)
Man, It is alway glad to hear I brought someone a smile, especially at a time when we all are facing so much sadness, and destruction in this world that we live in. But gendering a smile is just as good as a prayer at the right time. Be happy!
Ron
BTW: Take a listen at the backing track also. Yes, that is me playing all of the instruments for this piece also.

Hi Roy!!! :D (Heap)
I did`nt want you to think that I had overlooked you, but during the day that I was answering e-mails on the forum, I was interrupted, and I could not get it done the same day. Surely, my dear friend from the United Kingdom, I truly appreciate your encouragement, especially when you mention "gems", I think to myself "riches untold" (Ha-ha) Thanks again my friend, be blessed!!!

I enjoyed that Ronnie. I love the songs you play and this will be one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing your talent on this song and making us all smile again.
Your backing track is great! And so is your Lions top! :)
Blessings, Peter

Hey brother Ronnie, that was super good for sure.
I get worn out just watching all your movements.
Those nice smiles always show how much you love
what your playing and your heart is really in it. :D
Always enjoy hearing you. It brightens the day.

Hey Peter! :D (den Hartog)
My dear friend, in the Cape Town area,
Thank you for your encouragement, and acceptance of this rendition of joy, as one of your favored melodies. It means a great deal to me to have shared my joy with you, and, so many others, who love the sound of the music, that can be gendered from this beautiful instrument that we all are playing, called the steel guitar. The idea of uploading the backing track, came from my beloved wife, and companion of 49 years, who said "Why dont you post the background? Somebody might enjoy knowing that you play other insruments as well!" So,I posted it for enjoyment(I hope)as well! The "Lions" shirt is the idea of my daughhter, she got tired of seeing the "Michigan" sweat shirt. :lol: (Ha-ha) Again, my dearest of friends I thank you for your encouragement, support, and gifts, be blessed. The warmest of greetings to you, and yours...
Ron and family

Hey Carl! :D (Lucky,Kilmer)
Thanks my friend, again for your words of encouragement. Super Good? Naaaw, I might have fortunate to maybe turn out a tune that does`nt sound like me choaking a cat!! (Ha-ha) But, I truly thank you for support of what I`m trying to do as I play. And yes I really do enjoy what I`m playing, because there is great joy in what we all do when we play with the expression of our music that comes from the depths of the soul. At least that is what it means to me. I play for the joy, and not for monitary gain. I just want people to be happy, in spite of the dreariness of what this world can sometimes bring. So thanks again my friend, for allowing me to express myself and what this all means to me. Blessings to you and your family...

Hi Michael! :D (Barone)
To the "artist" that you are, thank you my friend for taking a "listening in" to my attempt at bringing a "little joy" into an otherwise dreary world. Of course, it`s not all that dreary, but there may be someone out there, that might need a little uplift in their lives, so then, just maybe this will bring a little smile to their time of need. So my good friend, I thank you, for allowing me to bring a smile, to somebody who might, or might not need a little joy, from what this melody might bring. Keep up the good work you have been doing. I`ve been listening! Be blessed!!!

Hi Melanie :D ! (ReMine)
Good to hear from you again. "Thank you," for your words of encouragement, I dont think anyone could have said it so succinctly. Stay in touch!

Hey Crowbear!!! :D (James Schmitt)
Thank you, my friend. You guys, and gals, should see what goes on with me trying to put one of these things together. It is a nightmare! :lol: Never the less, somehow they do come out alright I guess. It is all about the joy of it all. "Happy feet", and "heart", is what I`m all about. Thanks again, my friend. BTW, I`m glad you enjoyed the backing track, it is the support of the melody, and somehow, I almost get it right.(smile)Warmest affections!

Hey Wally! :D (Taylor)
Always glad to hear from you my friend. "Da bomb??" :lol: Yeah, I guess that is just about right. Naaw, dont worry, I know what you mean, and it is the colloquial expression, for "great approval", ;-) and I certainly thank you, for the warmness of thought, it means a lot to me. Be blessed my friend. Stay in touch!
Ron
