I love it... it's the best music when musicians are just starting out...everything is from the heart and not for money.
Thanks for sharing Amy, I enjoyed it immensely ! I swear - if I was really good, I would go around and play for people for free just for fun.

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, I was just messing around with it and came up with that verse. I don't even play it very well yet but it is one of my favs to listen to. Hope everyone has fun with these songs

Re: Copperhead Road Guitalele cover (3 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
That's a way cool instrument there Graham - you play it so well.
Steve Earle and his son Justin Townes Earle are two of my favorite performers. Copperhead road is truly a classic.
Very nicely done.

Re: Stand Up, Stand Up TIGLJK (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Yes very sad
When I was 20 years old I was driving a very good friend Henry Boone home from a softball game Henry was about 6'4 and 280, and very Black. Not an easy guy to miss. I was pulled over by Nassau county police of Long Island and they did not even care I was in car they made Henry get out and they searched him and under his seat. Never even asked me for my drivers license. After they left I was profusely apologizing to Henry and he just put his fingers to his lips and said " Sshhh It happens regularly in my life"
That was my first eye opening introduction to racial profiling. I was stunned and have never forgotten that night!
So sadpeople can't just accept others unconditionally. Thanks for the comment blue jeep

Re: Anybody Here On Facebook? (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Bill ... great to hear from you!
I don't participate in any "social media" sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.), and only take part in two forums, being Chordie and a fly-fishing site. We lead a quiet, private life in rural Nova Scotia, and while it may be boring to some it's just the way we like it.
Bill,
it's pretty much the same with me - I don't do fb or twitter or pinterest either
I do however like people here on Chordie - so I'll just enjoy this - it's more than enough for me.
Happy summer to you and Dondra! ![]()

Topic: Phill's song One More Game - different version (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I pestered Phill into re-recording his song One More Game for me. I thought it needed a bit more anguish and agony, as gambling addition is so powerful. He graciously did so !
I think he performed excellent as per usual on both versions. Here is the new version - thought you would like to hear it as well.

Re: That darn F chord on Guitar (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Jan
I know what you are saying girl.
I used to avoid the F like it was a disease.
Now I kind of prefer the F - I like it's sound along with the C.
Remember - the first guys naming notes probably named it an " F " chord for a reason ! ![]()
Keep on keeping on - it will get easier.

Re: football (soccer) (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Alas, Germany, Germany,Germany!
So technically-tactically , sound and tenacious.
Italy played great, but could not bring them down. Mueller is so darn good, the goalie is the best in the world. I do not believe any of the teams came defeat them - they can only lose if they malfunction. It is great futbol to watch - they are surgical in attacking and suffocating on defense. They have not been scored on except by penalty kick !
I hope another team wins it because I love the challenges of underdogs, but it seems unlikely.
Go Iceland and Wales!!!!

Phill,
You know I'm on board !
I want Wales and Iceland to play in final for Championship!
I watch most every game, looking forward to the next match!!!
The goal by Robson-kanu reminded me of the Great Johan Cruyff !!
Amazing!!!
They will have their hands full against Portugal Wednesday - but hey - anything is possible - impossible is nothing.
They didn't get this far to just come this far !! ![]()

p.s. any team that has players named Joe Walsh and Jazz has a destiny, for sure! ![]()
