May I add my welcome to Lawrence and to Ngeruu.

Lawrence there are several Members who play in their churches and I am sure they will be able to offer help with any specific hymns you want. As for rhythm, this is always the most difficult area to explain in writing, listening and feeling becomes fairly easy over time but having someone demonstrate is probably best. At the start of the Acoustic section is a 'Sticky' with some strumming patterns that may help.

AHA!  Am7/G does have the same chord fingering as C/G!

I always thought that C/G was 332010 whereas Am7/G is 302010.

I have just had a message from Camdener that the UK postal strike is messing things up causing the delay in moving the picks on.

Hi  Helena,

It is great that you and Sue have eventually met each other after all this time as cyber friends. Although the weather loooks decided chilly there plenty of warmth in your smiles.

Do not use the asterisk! It is the same as using the full word and will get deleted. The English language has far better and meaningful adjectives than profanities.

Hi Kenny,

I am so pleased that your day in court went well. The long wait is enough to give anyone an anxiety disorder and start them smoking but I hope you can relax now and get back to normal.

I was told the other day never to assume anything as it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'.

Welcome back Hannah. I, and I am sure many others, have missed your input so it is great to hear from you again.

Here is one of my favourites. The original words were written and performed by Leny Escudero with music by Leo Missir. Released in the UK by Richard Anthony in 1963 with English words by Alan Holt.

I have the original sheet music for this song which cost me 2/6 (two shillings and six pence, equivalent to twelve and a half new pence, for those of you too young to understand the shorthand for the old currency smile)

My favourite is 'To Make You Feel My Love': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6n01sou … re=related I have to admit though that I had never heard this one until recently when Catarina, a student of mine, introduced me to it. It has been covered fairly recently by Adele.

Hi Jeff,

The lady concerned is away for the weekend but I know that they were not received on Friday. There has been a postal dispute in the UK and that may be the cause of the delay.

Great stuff, here is another oldie. My friend Howard and I teach this instrumental to many of our students and since I found this clip from 1963 they have all been shown it. Wonderful correography in this one, it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j09C8clJaXo

Hi Helena,

I am still around, although I was burgled a few weeks ago and lost (amongt most of my valuables) my PC with all my songs and music but luckily I was able to recover some of the songs that I had sent to others including "Sorry Old Doll" so I put it back on FoC for Wayne.


Wayne,

I am looking forward to hearing the completed "Weep Not For Me", I like very much what you have done with it so far. More importantly it looks like you are forgiven by our mutual young friend.

What a wonderful poem Helena. It is strange how mere words can stir one's emotions and you have the gift of being able to do that so well. Tragedy, sorrow, joy and love all included, terrific work.

I am currently in the doghouse with Old Doll and I will be on probation for a while smile

A couple of years ago I missread a post and accused Helena of being older than she was, I got out of the doghouse by writing her a song - http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1956 - although she is really a very forgiving and generous lady so if your crime is not too onerous I am sure you will be able to make amends.
