Have a Safe and Happy Easter Everyone !!     

Good point and I would tend to agree that although the engagement of members does seem to wax and wane (with the seasons it seems), it brings to mind a question.  If we are having conversations outside the forums, what topics are foremost and would those be truly appropriate within the guidelines of this forum.

The Chat Corner is pretty much open for any topic, BUT we do refrain from things that are not inclusive such as politics, religion, and such.  At least within my circles, the topics seem to lean towards things that are dividing us (not that we favor that position) rather than subjects that bring the world closer together (re: any news source you would care to name).  The space in my tiny brain that is devoted to music has been compressed by concerns over the global implications of current events. Our friend Beamer reminds us that music is an effective way to decompress from the stress of it all, and I for one intend to follow his example now that I'm home, and try to be more active on this front as well.

BTW please accept my condolences over the recent events in Christchurch and the repercussions pending. As an American I feel somewhat that we may have contributed to that situation by the poor examples we have set.       

Just the one:  chordie.com/song.php/songartist/Grant%2C+Isla/index.html

In the artist's index.... there are I'm sure other sources out there in webland, but that seems to be the only tune indexed here on Chordie.     

I find this  topic interesting seeing as how this is an "English Language" forum, although many of us are at least bi-lingual and some are multi-lingual.  So I wonder what the point of the exercise is ?  What is the motivation for gathering up an assortment of words for a lyric that only a small number of readers would recognize ?       

Always happy to help out..... but more info is required.  I will assume that your printer is connected and you are able to print from other applications, so please check that first. Then a bit of information about what software (OS) you are running, browser and version, do you have the latest printer drivers update installed ?  Is it only one particular tune or all of them in your book giving problems ?

Otherwise we are just "shooting in the dark".  In the meantime I will check things from this end and see if things seem normal for me, and await your response.

Thanks     

Hi Bill,  you might want to try ditching Windows S for vanilla Windows Home.... the S version does restrict installation of software to only those available on the Microsoft Store.

Despite the reference to "Surface Go" on this article, the steps to change the installed version of Windows 10 should be the same for all hardware.

As usual, I am available to talk you through it if you want.  Either way there should not be any need to pay for an upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, and the change to Home version is FREE !!          

I was wondering..... only had 2 calls this afternoon, both from some telemarketer in San Diego.  Just knew they weren't you !!  Info on the way.       

Keep at it Bill, you're doing alright !  It gets easier with practice, once one gets over how different we sound on a recording versus what we "hear" from within.  "Cranial resonance" and all that.       

The Fender Bullets comment made me laugh !  Years ago I played a Fender Mustang, and went through about 4 sets in one gig.  The darn strings kept launching those little swedged on "Bullets" across the stage literally like their namesake.  Turns out they had been over-crimped and a whole lot of them suffered breakage ballistically and were eventually recalled.

Went back to Ernie Ball's and didn't look back.  No lawsuits, but spent more time changing strings than playing that night.  The Bar crowd was in good humour.... one would go "Ping", i'd cuss, they'd laugh and I'd go to work as a "Techie".  Some memories just make you chuckle.       

A gifted Musician and Entertainer who will be missed.  RIP     

Hi Bruce, the problem you are describing sounds similar to one from another member that I addressed awhile back.  In that particular case he was accessing Chordie through a third party App called Chordinator which didn't get along with some of the formatting code that we use currently.  Are you accessing Chordie through your browser or with an App ?
As Top mentioned, a screen shot to admin is always helpful in case it is something at this end easily fixed.

Thanks for posting !!        

Thanks for the kind thoughts. But seriously at a certain age Birthdays don't seem like such a big deal..... excepting the part about avoiding the "Grim Reaper" once again. That happens pretty much every day you get to see a sunrise, or learn something new, or find something to laugh about.  So we all should laugh every day, do as much as you can, don't dwell on regrets, cherish your friendships, and make music as often as you are able.   

Thank You for letting me "Sit In" !!
