Hi Phil,

Really like this one - very atmospheric.

Reminds me of a print I had from way back in the '70's. It was called "The Sentinel" - showed a lone horseman on a misty background.

I certainly agree. Most of the Arts were at a different state of development compared to today. There were no novels ( Cervantes wouldn't be born for another forty years), plays were limited to church miracle plays, and if you had played a flatted 7th you'ld have been chucked out of lute school.

At least you could tell what a painter was getting at.

Sorry, we were discussing the credit crunch, unemployment and global finance. ( Will try and make it next year ; )

Hope you had a nice meal and that the jam session was a bit of craic.

Hey Riverdales.

Since when was 30 big ? You're a bairn yet for another ten years ! Keep strummin' !

Now that is great craic !

Yes, butterflies and wheels come to mind. You get the idea that some peace would do her some good.

And, with addictive personalities, sometimes some of their addiction leaches out to us.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

You're right on the chord changes, Daddy !

I'm having to shift all my songs onto a different MySpace site and probably change my moniker here on Chordie - for professional reasons - keeping work and home separate ! The songs will be down for a bit, but the new site is already set up. I'll let everyone know when it's done.

Uke really isn't that different from guitar. Yes, you throw different chord shapes, but you are still flexing your fingers. With practice you should be able to play both well - unless you want to be Joe Pass ( showing my age) or whatsisname Shimabura.

Agree about the arpeggios. Your photo and title kind of made me think of water too. There's a castle in Antrim called Shane's Castle. It sits looking over Lough Neagh.

What came to mind was the many tales of ghosts walking the tunnels that connect the buildings and lead up to the terrace over the lough.

I don't mean the Banshee of course ! See http://www.antrim.gov.uk/index.cfm?webs … ge_Key=479

Also the more pick area there is for your thumb and finger to hold on to - the more the pick will stay in place, so you can also try a slightly bigger pick.

It's all up to personal preference, I don't like thin picks and I don't like the idea of the sandpaper ( or whatever ). You can play lightly with any pick, it just comes with practice. I like to be able to vary the 'weight" of my sound throughout a song, so a heavier pick works for me.

Oh - and the Silent is still there. I must go back . . .
