Dear Brandon
A tribute to Brandon J Ellis
I am your brother, Chris. We shared a biological father. Its with a heavy heavy heart that I learn that you departed us so soon and I never really knew you. I have a few pictures given to me during the breif time that we were family. You and Tiffany stayed with me a few times when you were children. You were both great fun. I've often thought of you and felt alone and in need of connecting but all the circumstances seemed to collectively and effectively present as a gate keeper of sorts to bar my entry. Such is life I guess. I've often thought of the two of you and remember you with love. Its with this same love that I offer this as a prayer that your soul find peace and that perhaps you were or are aware in some way that you had or have a brother that thinks of you fondly. It does my heart good to know that you were surrounded by people who love and care so much about you. Disfunctional familys are never without casualties. The children usually pay the heaviest toll for the sins of the father so to speak. I wish I were able to mend it but some things are just ment to be as they are I guess. I must confess however that I feel more broken and at a loss for not knowing and not being close to you. I send you my love in prayer. My brother. Rest in peace.
Love, Chris

Stephen Stills - 4+20
Straight from Woodstock to the Dick Cavett show.
Also notice Joni Mitchell, Jack Casady (bassist for Jefferson Airplane), and David Crosby.
Tuning: DADGBE - These tabs on chordie got me started.

And the other person brave enough to wear a poncho on film?
Of course "he" was packin a small arsenal underneath.

Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song
Beautiful song and not as hard to play as you might think.
Tunning: DGCGCD (First make sure your standard tuning is correct, then...)
1.Tune both E strings to match the D string
2. Tune the A string to match the G string
3. Tune the D and B strings to match the G on the fifth fret
Might take some tweakin.
Tab: I like this one best but chordie has several versions. ----> Link
