Roger - Great picture.   It reminds me of a guitar theme Norman Rockwell painting.  Congratulations on the NGD !!

How different is playing a 12 er vs. 6 string ?   I have never even seen a 12 in person. 
One last thing.... you are right... I think it is much like the wands of Harry Potter,  the guitars seem to pick us, not they other way around.  There definitely is an unspoken language out there between musicians and guitars.
Anyway - Congrats again - looking forward to hearing a few tunes played on it.

I liked Home of the Brave  - I agree w Graham......  would like the lyrics of such an important message front the guitar - I  think you are right that acoustic would accomplish that. That being said -- excellent man !!  I enjoyed it !

As I had posted previously, I had sent Roger's version of the song into Min-Cooper.   This was their response:
Thanks for writing MINI. 

Dear Jim,

First off, we love that MINIacs from around the world have come together to create an awesome expression of their love for this mighty little vehicle!  Per MINI USA policy, however, we can only accept advertising ideas from our current business partners and those directly involved in the design of our vehicles.  I apologize for any disappointment that this may cause.
Thank you again for sharing your song with us though, it was very good!

Thanks a bunch to all the Chordians that worked on it   JIM

hmmm   I am unable to open that link when I click on it

I think we should send a demo to the Mini Cooper company - they might like to make a video of it for a commercial.

Hey Chordians - wait til' you hear Roger's version - it is REALLY REALLY GOOD.   I am so glad he did it.... Makes the whole experiment a success. Thanks to everybody for playing along with the idea.   I say we dedicate it  to Phil for the car concept, Graham for the mini idea, Roger for " making it real"  and  to all of you that contributed lines and ideas.   Thanks again to all

Jim

He's going to post it.

nice pick.... Merle is excellent.   I always look forward to your posts b/c it's almost always something I haven't heard or seen. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us with great music...keep'em coming.

That is GREAT NEWS !   Thanks for the update Kev. Continued prayers and best wishes for Graham and Pam . Can't wait til Graham gets back into the swing of things.

Here is a y tube vid of Graham singing the song I wrote a while ago ... and here's to many,many more songs sung by Graham !!

Thank you.  I wrote it because in the past month I have seen way too many friends, (including a seven year old) succumbing to cancer or other maladies at way too young of an age. I found myself looking at a photo of one of them and I had my guitar in my hands. Just starting writing down some emotions in my head, mostly thinking about how life is so precious.   It kinda came back to that Butch Walker video (21 + Over) I posted earlier where he says go live your life, do your bucket list , now ! 
Anyways, even though I am just a rookie songwriter that can't sing a lick, I am hopeful that even if one person gets the message and does something today or the next that they might not have done, then it was worth the time and effort. 
As far as the misting, I've played it a hundred times, still hard me too bc I think of the people I lost, but then at the end I remember that they would want me not to sit around and mourn , but go live in their place and honor.  Thanks again for the kudos.
