    thanks for this... it's a quiet Sunday rainy morning. As the raindrops hit the leaves of the trees outside, my tears crash the keyboard while my mind travels in the distance of time, reviving forgotten moments and feelings. Freedom is timeless as long you can feel it.

    I once heard the reason he called this this song "Watermelon in Easter" Hay was because;
    "The band I am playing with right now is so difficult for me to solo with it's like trying to grow a "Watermelon in Easter Hay."
    Can anyone touch on this?

      I have given some consideration to
      attempting to contact Dweezil, or any other of the myriad of world class musicians Frank played with.
      Ahmet, I think I spelled his name right. I maybe Completely Deceived by the appearance of the feud, but the actual legal side doesn't seem approachable.
      (Gail, and All, forgive me if I am wrong about that)
      The other aspect of this, I have worked a tad in the entertainment arena, serviced or assisted, I am not nor have I ever been in that light.
      I know that it is easy to violate people's space. Unintentionally, maybe even more common.
      (I appeared to have ruined an assistant to a Celebrity Magicians evening by asking If I could get him anything else. His reaction was akin to kicking his dog or keying his car.)
      I also think, I maybe projecting here, people get annoyed being asked about someone else when they are entertainers as well.

    Did you check out the copyright for this song? Unless something changed, you can’t make any money off of the use of this song. This was his signature song. He was able to make a guitar make sounds unheard before, and on a personal level, was a genius.

    • @AlejandroLaviana
      @AlejandroLaviana  Місяць тому +8

      No, I did't check, but I know for a fact that it is copyrighted. Nevertheless, nobody claimed rights on this video because it is so changed compared to the original song, which means that the ads you see on this video, as all the ads on all my videos except "Zoot Allures" (which was claimed by FZ labels), generate money (cents in the best case scenario) that goes exclusively to Google. I don't make any money with any of my videos because I can't have them monetized. Besides... I'm not in this for the money. Been doing it for ten years purely for fun. Thank you.
