An old friend from the PSR-Tutorial, Dennis Hooker, sent me an email to inquire about my health. He also sent a link to a song, which after listening, I just had to learn it. So, I sat down at my aging PSR-S950, fired it up, looked for a style, which took a couple minutes, then turned on the onboard recorder. Here's my rendition of I Just Stopped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In. No edits other than to convert the song to an MP3, just a one shot deal late last night. After hearing it, my 10-year-old grandson said "Mom, pop-pop is a rocker!"

Happy New Year Everyone,

Gary :cool;:

Great song. Micky Newbury wrote it and Kenny Rogers sang the lead with the First Edition. I think after that he decided to "go country". Interesting that Glen Campbell did the distorted guitar lead on it!
Kenny recorded a different version, more country, later on as I recall.
Maybe I'll resurrect this one; I used to do it back when it was popular, in another century. Still a good song though.
Thanks Gary.

Thanks Guys, for listening and commenting. Donny, I tried to time it as close to the Kenny Rogers rendition as I could, but considering I only have 40 percent of my lung capacity, I doubt that I could have performed it much faster.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year, guys,

Thanks guys - I had my daughter and grandson over tonight for Crabcakes and they wanted Pop-Pop to play some more rock songs. It was a fun night.
