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.

Ok - here is my version of Six Strings Down.
With apologies for my playing and singing.... but it is such a great song.

if I can do this any of you can ! smile  Have fun!
Jim

Roger


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

Ok...
Since no one has taken the bait for the song I chose, I'm adding another verse to end it !   
I thought maybe if it was more personal, it would attract a player or two. smile
I tried to fit as many in as I could, please don't be offended if you got left out - I left myself out too! smile
here's the additional lyric.....

[G] Amy,  Phill , and Roger   [C] Joey , Dino too

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.

Apologies for the playing and singing, but the message is important to me. Hope you like it.

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

I'm not putting my name in because I want Roger to win - that way we can all be surprised at the song he chooses ! :

My dyslectic friend however has asked me to recomend to him  to favor :   ! rood snevaeh no gnikconk

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! smile

I am so displeased with what America has become.
The media twists everything, people out of control acting like fools !
Americans have to stand up and be counted before this gets out of hand.

I WROTE THIS THIS MORNING AFTER READING SOME OF THE NEWS STORIES.
so sad - sad

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.

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 ! smile
Keep on keeping on - it will get easier.

Jim

That is awesome - you have a wonderfully talented friend!!

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 !! smile
Jim

p.s. any team that has players named Joe Walsh  and Jazz  has a destiny, for sure! smile
