no matter how good the gear is, it's the fingers and the talent that makes it good. unfortunately my fingers are stiff and my talent has yet to emerge.....
ps. i have a drawer to my left with jelly babies in for when i need a sugar rush. their the soft british jelly babies. there is a story of the beatles that goes; they were on their first US tour and let it slip that they loved jelly babies, but the US ones are hard! not fun getting pelted with hard boiled sweets!
lovelly. like the way you left the cartons in the shot. i too would be interested to hear some sounds and FX. but i don't suppose we'll hear from you for a good while, as my wife says "playing with your new toy"
your lay-out looks similar to mine russ, only my PC monitor is to the right of my DP24, then my alesis mixer. to my left hand are my acoustic 12 and 6 string and bass guitars. to my right hand are my keyboards and alesis performance pad. directly in front of me are my supplies of peanuts! yum yum
i get all the reports but they've all gone by the time i get there...takes all the fun out of kicking their butts
one thing i have to say about "spell-check" i do use it but there are words that are spelt differently in UK and US eg; COLOUR or the US color. if it had to be simplified why not kuler?...go figure?
on a more serious note, thanks amy for explaining that, it just goes to show the more money you have the more crimes you can get away with, unless it's against the government or the church. as i stated though, theses guys are english born and bred as far as i know, so would probably been conversing in english? that part is not clear.
i have no interest in facebook but i did join twitter but have never used it or filled in any personal details. i used to use yahoo answers but found that it was being frequented by perverts and idiot kids using bad language and indecent imagery. which is why after these years i'm still on chordie.

yep fair enough zurf, they cant be expected to check every email or thread that passes through their site, but there are programs that look for certain catch words or phrases that i believe government departments (spies) flag up. the worst part of this atrocity is that these 2 individuals live in the uk and take advantage of the benefits and freedom that this country provides. the messages they sent each other was over an open line (i believe) so they could and should have been flagged up and investigated. i am aware that a lot of terrorist activities have been uncovered and stopped before bombings/murders and the like were actioned and the authorities are to be thanked and congratulated for their action, but anti-terrorism is all our concern these days as i know you us-ers are well aware....lets unite over this one?
i must stress though that the majority of muslims are brilliant people and they should not all be judged because of the hateful actions of a few brainwashed individuals.
an off-duty soldier was cut down by machete wielding terrorists in the middle of london last year. it turns out that they were corresponding and planning their attack on FACEBOOK. the chicken livered british government want all such sites (facebook, google, yahoo etc) to voluntarily give this information over to the authorities instead of legislating that they must. i'm disgusted!
it appears that Facebook knew about this conversation but did nothing. if i'd been a member of Facebook i would resign my membership immediately. if this atrocity had happened in the US there would have been a huge hue and cry. we brits on the other hand have just said "oh" and left it at that. come on chordians, make a stand and dump Facebook.
i'm sorry if this is political and for once me being serious, but it has maddened me to that point.

i like it very much, i love the way you've worked "shooting star" into the end of each verse. cant wait to hear it, any chance?
i never realised until recently that "harps, harmonicas, mouth organs" are made in specific keys. a guy asked if he could come on stage and give a tune, then told me it had to be in "G" as that was the only harp he had on him at the time! he explained later. so now i know.
oh and what you call beer we call lager and is served cold. the dark stuff you refer to can be Guiness or dark ale, bitter which is made with hops is usually lighter, but still served cooled. i've tried Coors, Budwiser and Labatts and i'm afraid i was not impressed, not with the fizz but the taste....sorry
lately i've been buying from mine from amazon, not elixir. i only bought them once a while ago, but didnt buy them again, must say something? before you go paying 15 quid a set, check out amazon, i'm not spamming there just good prices. or try stringsdirect . com ernie balls for a fiver! come on friend, you're not trying.
When I think of Toto I think of Judy Garland's dog in 'Over The Rainbow'
Like you, this is the only song that I like from Toto.
Roger
Sorry Roger, I disagree. This about the only song from Toto I don't like very much. But this version has changed my mind, hate to admit it but it is brilliant, loved every second of it rain, thunder,drums, bass, harmonies the lot. I will be returning to this and the other songs they've done.
enjoyed the game, really wished USA could have scored a try, but there's one thing about the all blacks, they never take pity and they don't stop till the final whistle blows.
i really hope rugby catches on in the states, can you imagine in a couple of years time, with all that catchment area, they could definitely have a world beating side.
it's funny but i had almost given up writing songs till i found chordie, so a big thanks from me, and HAPPY BIRHDAY.
i cant ever remember his name being mentioned here before, i'm probably wrong, but definitely one of the great bassists. he also played piano and guitar and wrote quite a lot of creams repertoire. RIP JACK BRUCE
even when i was his age my fingers couldn't bend or stretch like his. what a talent!
if you keep watching right to the end he gives a real chopsy look into the camera, i suppose if i was that good i might do that too...
so sorry nela, for once i can't think of anything funny to say. my mother died of cancer a few years back, it was of the stomach and they gave her 3 months, and that's how long she lasted. you're not on borrowed time, my friend, you're just making God wait a bit longer, and make him wait a bit more as you have work to do on chordie.
one of my favourite songs, i do it myself, but not with so much gusto. thanks for bringing it to my attention
hi nela,
i'm also retired, and as is said above, i do what i gotta do....end of!
when i start getting verbal from my wife and daughter for doing what i shouldn't, i just say; well you're not making my heart any better by giving me grief.
it don't work, but at least i've got an answer for them
i'm so jealous i went out and bought some new guitar leads, cost about 10 pounds, the wife went A/S. too afraid to tell her i'd like a new gibson acoustic. in fact i've decided to chicken out all together, and buy another lead.....
congrats by the way, hope you'll be very happy together.

i like what russ says about the screaming guitars and the BABES. must admit that was a big attraction to playing live. only thing is it seemed the roadies got all the girls while i/we were on stage. this life can be very unfair.
sorry to hear that Nela old friend. i'm lucky at 63 all i need to take are paracetamol (for the brain pains) and cod liver oil capsules for the aching bones. they say fish is good for the brain, memory and that, what was i saying? oh yeh, don't let sharks bite you? wasn't it?
i've got this story that i must impart; sometime in the 70's i was playing in a cabaret band (i cant believe i revealed that fact) still, one of the guys sat up and recorded a radio show late at night, next day when he played a song to me that blew my mind and his, but he didn't know who the band was....sometime later i bought an album by a band called supertramp crime of the century and the track was on it! i said we have to do it, they said no! so i left...that's fair?
anyway saw them on their quietest moments tour in swansea, must be one of the best concerts i've ever seen.
but you did a great job, thanks
just another day at the office, eh russ? it must be hell sitting there looking at your PC screen waiting for the delivery driver to knock?
i usually find that while i'm waiting for a new toy to arrive, i begin having more fun with the one it's replacing, like guitar strings, once i decide to change them the tone suddenly revives. also toothaches that disappear as you walk into the dentists waiting room.
hate to correct you Nela, but i just came on line to find 10 or so reports, all of which had been dealt with.
i'd like to take this opportunity to thank on behalf of all the mods the members that take time out to report these selfish, lame-brained, inbred, money grubbing spammers.
