Re: where were you (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Joe - excellent man... that line - Where were you when I fell in love- has a "radio ready hook" in it ! That is top shelf. Get some drum loop and bass and send it to a recording company. I literally can vision hearing that on the radio. There are ten thousand or more guys and girls that would be tapping their feet and singing along for sure! Well done !!

Re: A Friend singing (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Easybeat
She has a wonderful voice. I would love to send her my song "Open Heart" that I posted a while ago here on chordie. I am not sure as to how I would do that. If you let know how, I'd love for her to cover it. If you go to search and type open heart - it will be listed there.
Again - she has a lot of talent - wow! It would be an honor to have her sing one of my songs.

Russell & Dino
Thanks for taking the time to give me some info.
I looked up the Digitech Trio..... seems like it's what I want, but there were quite a few negative reviews on Amazon for it - along with the usual rave reviews. I was just wondering if you have actually used it and could give me an honest review . $ 179 is what they are asking for it and I don't want to spend that if it is not a good product. With my second daughter getting married within a year, money is pretty tight. ![]()
Thanks

Re: SONG - " LAST NIGHT !" (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Easybeat....
thanks
I had no Idea that I was going to write that song..... I was driving down the road the other day listening to the radio (Outlaw Country on Sirius) and a song by Ray Wylie Hubbard came on called Conversation with the Devil. It had that little riff in it and it got stuck in my head. All day I kept playing it in my head. Next morning the dogs woke me up at 5:10 am and so I was sitting on my porch with my Martin Series X and decided to learn how to play that riff. Finally figured it out --- probably would have taken anyone else on Chordie about a minute, but for me it was quite a while. So as I was practicing it - i was trying to voice with it and then words started popping in my head. Playing and writing are my release from my crazy teaching and coaching pressures. I teach HS Social Studies as well as being the athletic director and coaching three sports . I'm not a very good player and definitely not a singer - but I do enjoy writing. Glad you liked it.

Congrats Mom and dad - that is a great picture!
The greatest of all gifts - an innocent, tabula rosa newborn.
Wishing you a lifetime of enjoyable moments with her.
Although I'm sure Steven Tyler sang this about a woman he loved, I always vision it as a father looking down at a little newborn.

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
well - it ain't Friday, but I love this blues song so I thought I'd make a contribution. I was riding my bike today and at the 10 mile point this came on my headphones- exhaustion went out the window and all sorts of energy filled me. I peddled like crazy to this song. Thought I;d share it now. Enjoy the Vaughn bros. in Texas

Thanks for the enlightenment - I have never even heard of this instrument before. These guys playing - Relentless- are ridiculous - I can't imagine the time that they put in to get to that level of performance. - That is incredible. Way too advanced for me.

Very nice. I do the same sitting on my porch ... just listening to life. Spring is awesome - everything comes to life. I particularly love to watch the parents of the birds as they prepare for, and take on childhood responsibilities. It's amazing.
Thanks for the poem.

Re: Anyone play harmonica? (32 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
My wife wanted me to play harmonica instead of the guitar - that way I couldn't sing along
I got one as a gift and actually found a really nice looking one - both still is unplayed as I have no friggin ' clue how to play it - and I'm not putting the one I found in my mouth without sanitizing it. .
I kind of agree with Phill as well in that it won't belong before it's Chinese or in North America - Espanol.
AS for the beer.....
almost any one will do as long as I'm with my friends and having a good time. I happen to be a fan of Killian's Red .
I have enjoyed the conversations in this thread - you guys are a riot!
