Bill and Dondra
When you're all cried out, you've endured just about every pain imaginable to the soul and body, and you feel like all the strength in you has withered away to the point that quitting makes perfect sense......... but for some reason, you don't...............
it is then, that you know that the love you have for each other is very real, you know that the friends that continue to support you and offer hope as well as their prayers will always continue, and somehow you will find the courage and the path to overcome your sufferings, and to see the sunrise of another day and enjoy the love and happiness that ensues.
Wishing you and your wife peace, strength, and love on the way to recovery.
Jim

Re: The Madman (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
That is awesome.. reminds me of Neil Young a bit. Excellent playing and singing.
With some bass and drum backing it would be playing on the radio right now.

Re: NGD - The "extra" guitar (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Amy,
I think what you meant was that anyone ( like Roger) coming wouldn't want to lug their 5- 10 guitars with them.
That is a sweet looking guitar.
But in reality, someone could always be
1) getting the drinks
2) singing
3) dancing
4) helping those of us that aren't that good, play with best
4) calming the neighbors
5) or re-directing the po-po
while the ones w guitars are playing.

Re: the pickle song (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
dissappointed you didn't include a verse about bread and butter chips (pickles)
it certainly would have rhymed well with lips !
This is a riot. AMy - I laughed out loud as well.... toooooo funny.
Chordians are a riot, not to mention clever musicians.

Re: Digitech Trio (60 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
OMG - Got my Trio today.... it took me a while to figure it out ... at least to get started...... but holy crap is this thing fun.
I can't wait to actually figure it out for real - as in knowing what I'm doing ! This is definitely $$$ well spent.
Although my wife might disagree 
Thank you Russell !!

Russell,
I just want to be sure before I blow out my computer or something.....
I have a Fender Frontman 212 R 100 W amp .... it has a Preamp output jack. I have the cable that goes from the to 1/4" to the mini which is what I can plug into the mic jack on my computer. Is that ok ?

Topic: Video - Creek Don't Run By My Cabin No More (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
After watching the Glenn Campbell special - " I'll Be ME" last night, I decided that I would forgo the embarrassment of my singing and playing abilities (as well as substandard recoding equipment) and post this video I made using my song.
This disease is awful. In the special, Brad Paisley made the point of his grandmother getting it age 70, his mother getting it at age 70 - and saying he is 41 - so he said he has 29 years for them to figure out a cure. He also pointed out the need for research funding.
They should do a country Aid concert like they did for farmers a while ago - for Alzheimers research !
If you did not see that special - please do so - very informative and emotionally moving. A fascinating portion of the documentary was the Dr. saying that his playing music probably extended his time of " awareness". Maybe there is a link there.
anyway - here is the video - hope you like it.

Re: Digitech Trio (60 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Russell et al
I purchased the Trio and effects pedal - it is coming tomorrow !
I do have a a question though before it gets here..... as mainly a songwriter rather than performer - how do I send the end product to my computer for recording ? Is there a special chord that has to go from amp to computer or do I have to just use the mic from computer to pic up the sound produced ?? Is that possible ? Please let me know how you do it. Thanks
