I need to ask a favor from everyone going. I need help playing a joke on Chris. Nothing mean or dirty. She will know right away that it was my idea.
Me thinks you may need to go into a little more detail.

Yep. Only 3 weeks away.
Like Amy, I'm looking forward to forgetting about everything else for a weekend. Haven't done much of that yet this year.

I will watch for the announcement. There is a FHC event 20 minutes. from me the 1st part of Oct. Fingers crossed that both events don't fall on the same weekend.
I'll make a post in the "Any Musicians" thread over there too.

I think you should bring it to NY next month.
You don`t appreciate how comfortable and better handling modern cars are until you drive an old one...
I can somewhat relate. I drive a Ford F700 everyday for work. I would imagine that Falcoon doesn't handle a whole lot better. But I at least have PS in the truck. It does make me appreciate jumping in the Camry at the end of the day.
You know......If you roll down that back window it's as good as AC. OK maybe not but it's a really cool feature. What year is it? '62-63?

I'm working on songs from Bob Wier's latest album Blue Mountain. Working on Only a River and One more River to Cross.
I didn't care much for Blue Mountain the first time I heard it. But I throw it in the player now and then and it's starting to grow on me.

Unfortunately, the date conflicts with my vacation plans. I am still looking forward to my first Chordie gathering.
October in Pa will be here before you know it. Tentatively the weekend of the 7th but we'll firm that up after I get back from NY.

Re: Where is everyone? (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Guilty as charged.
My busy season starts usually in April. I try to stop in here in the morning before I leave. By evening I'm drained and in bed by 10:00 most of the time. I just don't spend a lot of time on the computer this time of year. It's 8:30 now and I hear Mr Sandman calling already.
KIR - So sorry to hear that. My condolences on your loss.

Re: Making First Classical Guitar (19 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Great job!
Some time ago I considered buying a kit and building one. It never happened and I don't see it ever happening.
Any chance you could post a few pics so we can all see it?

If I were to assemble this list in a week's time, it could be quite different.
Scott and I started to video record everything we do about 1.5 years ago. After posting in this thread I decided to go back and look at some of the older stuff. There are some that we've only done once or twice, some that pop up periodically and others that are part of our standard rotation. The ones I listed above are pretty much regulars.

My opening song is very often 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.
And you do it beautifully. I heard it in NY a couple years ago.

Re: When You Look Up The Chords To A Song... (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I don't have a problem with the chords being printed for just the first verse and chorus. It forces me to learn the progression. I'll play the first verse and chorus over and over until I don't have to think about it anymore. Then I apply it to the rest of the song.
I know not everyone feels the same way but when I go to learn a song, I want to learn it. I don't want a book (or the electronic equivalent) in front of me all the time.
But hey, that's just my own personal pet peeve and it only applies to me.

City of New Orleans- Steve Goodman
Down on the Corner- CCR
Bright Side of the Road- Van Morrison
El Paso- Marty Robbins
Mama Tried- Merle Haggard
Me and My Uncle- John Phillips( Mama's and the Papa's)

Jack Straw- Weir/Barlow
Big River- Johnny Cash
Ripple- Garcia/Hunter
Eyes of the World- Garcia/Hunter
Friend of the Devil- Garcia/Hunter
I think I have 30-35 songs I know now. A huge leap from my first trip to Amy's in 2015.
