Members Michael Martin Posted April 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 Felt a bit warped, so just be glad I didn't make a video of this... It kinda answers the off-asked, but, until now, never adequately answered question: What would Clapton sound like, if he had listened to Woody Guthrie more than Robert Johnson?... http://terryallanhall.com/wonderful2.mp3 Taylor 355 12-string, Hohner Big River Harp (in a modified Lee Oskar rack), "Delta Drum Set" (foot activated washboard/stomp board), Shure SM-58, the last couple seconds due to sloppy editing... Just now listened to this. Never dreamed it would be the last we would hear from you TAH. That last line about "George Harrison's ex-wife" cracked me up, posthumously...

Members jamesp Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 Just now listened to this. Never dreamed it would be the last we would hear from you TAH. That last line about "George Harrison's ex-wife" cracked me up, posthumously... I know. Even with the build up I didn't see that one coming. The feeling a bit "warped" seems ominous in retrospect too. Sure sorry to see him go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted April 18, 2014 Members Share Posted April 18, 2014 Terry didn't drink. Said he couldn't because of his condition. It might've even taken him out but that's none of my business. But, up-ending a glass or 10 in his memory is my business and works for me right about now. So, here's pie in yer eye, Terry. Relax and enjoy the show.

Members jamesp Posted April 19, 2014 Members Share Posted April 19, 2014 Me too. I'm glad to see that the last words he posted to me were "Nicely played." Kind of bittersweet though. Very, actually. :-/ I'm looking for his setlist. It seems like he posted it way back when, but I haven't found it in the site search yet. At the very least, we need to have a VOM in his honor.

Members Idunno Posted April 19, 2014 Members Share Posted April 19, 2014 And a eulogy I think describes Terry's outlook on life - Here comes the road the sun is risingOne last look it's time to startAll over land and into lifeThe days are good too good to stay forNow the ride is mine and you your eyes didHold the stars that filled the evening skyOn mystery flight that wonderous night thatTribal call of primal surge into ourselvesCompelled by will we stay forever yesWe say we say on shiver cool the groundIt holds us molds our souls for momentsLonger than the night that leaves the honestySo true as hearts know better leave whileHappy sad for happy hours gone not fairWe know what's real so very real we can't repealThe dreams of what could be will neverBe but cooling embers sparked by lifeIn step with all the grace of blowing sage ofEndless dawns that mark the youth that parks theWant of new horizons firmly in the eyes will neverLose the colors color yearns to scream to tell toYell to all who'll look and maybe see there reallyIs a place between the shining seas and no lessBrilliant than the core of who we are we are justSkidding never rolling with the life presentedFree no charge to take the dare to touch the airTo listen to its laughter carried low enough toSee the trees the grasses dance the melody theWinds compose the ballet of the skies and all thatFlies beyond desire within the heart to soar the heightsTo lose the lashes binding earthly creaturesIn our hopeless copeless sense of life we tradeWe run away to seldom see through eyes that wantTo focus on the truth but rather seek the hocus-pocusLife beyond the real illusion glitters techno-purgesVoid the landscape clean the pallet no one caresIn droves we fashion truth from lies we hypnotizeOurselves to walk to talk as ordered never hearingMystery cries to stop to find our spirit wingsTo raise our heads and feel the wind to let the ancientsRise within and lift our souls away.
