What a beautiful sight for sore eyes--thanks for warming up my morning!   Ronn Roberts (Iamthebassman) Senior Member Username: Iamthebassman Post Number: 601 Registered: 05-2002 Posted From: 207.193.146.64 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 12:24 pm:    Yes, and a beautiful song too. I wish I was home.   John Pollard (Squid) Senior Member Username: Squid Post Number: 133 Registered: 09-2003 Posted From: 142.108.148.176 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 12:39 pm:    This has been a tough winter. I really want to celebrate spring (if it ever comes) with something in Fireglo. Love the Montezuma Brown on that guitar, Peter. It almost looks like a satin or antique finish.   Peter McCormack (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 2890 Registered: 04-2003 Posted From: 142.166.105.220 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 01:29 pm:    John: You have certainly characterized this finsh. While white guards tend to accent the high-gloss quality of the finish, the gold guards create a more satin or antique look overall. This combination harkens back to the vintage years even in a new instrument. Ronn: A great song to be sure.   Joey garcia (Joeyangel) Junior Member Username: Joeyangel Post Number: 23 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 68.111.252.155 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 01:32 pm:    Certainly made my morning! What a great guitar.   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 1012 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 63.193.9.8 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 02:49 pm:    Peter: My all-time favorite BB ballad. Legend says that Brian stayed up all night November 22, 1963, and wrote the song watching the sun coming up on the 23rd. It was one of the first songs I played on my 381 the day I bought it. The chord structure is nothing short of brilliant!   Ronn Roberts (Iamthebassman) Senior Member Username: Iamthebassman Post Number: 602 Registered: 05-2002 Posted From: 207.193.146.64 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 02:56 pm:    What good is the dawn That grows into day The sunset at night Or living this way For I have the warmth of the sun (Warmth of the sun) Within me at night (Within me at night) The love of my life She left me one day I cried when she said "I don't feel the same way" Still I have the warmth of the sun (Warmth of the sun) Within me tonight (Within me tonight) I'll dreams of her arms And though they're not real Just like she's still there The way that I feel I loved like the warmth of the sun (Warmth of the sun) It won't ever die (It won't ever die)   tom fowler (Moreguitar) Junior Member Username: Moreguitar Post Number: 31 Registered: 07-2004 Posted From: 68.107.20.110 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 05:00 pm:    Great song. Fantastic chord progression...I like the key change - coming off a Gmaj7, G then transitioning up to the Eflatm7 to Aflat7 before changing key up to the Dflat right when the verse "I'll dream of her arms" begins - knocks me out every time as the music lifts you into a dreamlike state. One of Brian's best.   Howard Bishop (Ozover50) Senior Member Username: Ozover50 Post Number: 313 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 203.194.55.197 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2005 - 05:14 pm:    Lovely, all of it! Luckily my days at present don't need much warming up - the next 3 or four days are gonna be 30c plus! I still look at my 660/12 every morning, hail, rain or shine.
