The only slide song I have written,with a topical twist

I wrote this song a couple of years back when I was not feeling very well. You may be aware of 'man flu' as a condition that can reduce the strongest guy to a helpless wreck. When it came to playing it I realised that it needed to be played with a slide, which is not a style I usually do. I just tuned my guitar to an open chord and went for it. I have not played it much recently. The action on my Taylor is a bit low for slide, but my old Dean is okay. I slightly changed the lyric to make it more topical if you can spot that.

I usually use a slide made from copper pipe, but could not find that and so used the bottleneck which is a bit bulkier. They have different sounds. I recorded this version for our local on-line open mic. It is not a public event, but I do not mind sharing my videos.

I hope to see a few more guitarists post in this community. I will admit I misplaced the community keys, so there are some things I cannot change. If there is enough demand we can create a new community that we can customise more and deal with any earned rewards. This one can still work for now.

Rock on!
