Hi peeps,

yeh just moved Luthers post to it's own thread, thanks Amy for the tutorial

TF, everything is beautiful in it's own way, so the song goes, and you too keepitreal, just to say you're not born a poet, Shakespeare wasn't, Wordsworth wasn't , Dylan Thomas wasn't. they worked at it because they had the muse within them. One day we may all get there.  Your poem TF is a reflection of the modern world in which we live and stands as relevant as anything one of the above wrote. I've spent many a night as you describe...minus the forest bit. well done, thanks for sharing.

yep! that's a cracker. i think we've all done the dance with the traffic warden, i managed to get out of a ticket in Swansea once because Ann, my other half was pregnant at the time. in my town, (Llanelli), i've never managed to get away with anything!

i like this and hope to hear it as a song one of these fine days?

Great! I wonder what he does with the E and A strings?

it's a lovely tune jim and i think a difficult one to improve on as you've done a wonderful job. i know bill and dondra appreciate it

sounds like quite a bluesy/rocking set, hope you're going to tape it? good luck for tonight, we're not really supposed to say that, we're supposed to say...BREAK A LEG.

ps, another great job with the video. lot of surprises and unexpected appearances. nice one mate

so many of the members that were regular contributors when i joined (seems like years ago now) have fallen by the wayside. most just stopped posting for their own reasons, toots is the first i know of that have sadly passed on to a (hopefully) better place.

my condolences to his family and all the members that knew him in person and through chordie like me.

RIP TOOTS, you will live on through your posts and the music you made.

the title of your post enthralled me so i had to have a look....to be honest i thought it was the name of a band or a song title!

that rail trip sounds brill, must try it if i ever get to cross the pond.

that's another beauty my friend. to be honest it reads like a poem, more than that, a love poem, pity it didn't give you the nudge before valentines day, you'd have been on major brownie points. waiting for the recording, i'd love to hear this great tune you refer to, i'd rather listen to how you feel it than put my own musings to it. well done again.

thanks for the comments. when i read jims words i could see a potential. jim has a special way of writing, especially his choruses. all i did was take his song and added my.... whatever it's called? to it. i think we make a good partnership in this respect.
it's not actually in Dbm, it's still in E, but when i sing "change" it goes to Dbm to give the song an extra push. it would be easier to play in the key of C or G where you'd play Am or Em respectively ( for those still petitioning for the banning of B chords).... sorry couldn't resist that one.

well done jim you are blossoming as a song writer

i must be honest, i have not been much of a sure fan since one let me down mid way through a performance in front of a substantial audience! i use a beyer now which is good and clear for stage work.
i bought just this week a condenser mic from amazon cost me just £20 (add $10 for the exchange rate i'd expect) i just looked at the box but cant find a maker but when it sounds that good who cares? it comes with an XLR (female) to a stereo mini jack (male) it's quite heavy and seems sturdy for the price. check it out.
