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!

Re: Now I'm Confused (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have a martin custom X series - matte finish acoustic electric. It has a very unique sound - I love it. But I will admit, I love my Alvarez RD-20 SC much better . I said in another post somewhere... I really believe the guitar picks the player, not viceversa - you just know when you've got the right one. ( Probably the reason we all keep buying them !

Bensonp,
I just listened to your cover of Daydream by Lovin Spoonful one of my favoite all time songs. You are extremely talented and have a very nice Martin there. I enjoyed the song a lot. Your voice is awesome.... I would love it if you did a rendition of the above song. What do you think ?

Re: Hippie Anthem (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I agree with Phill, this is very well done. Nice voice, nice playing, great changes through the song - but I too found myself locked into the video. I kept thinking three things: 1) wonder what all those people shown are doing now and what would they say to me if they saw their picture ? 2) Am I gonna see someone I recognize ? 3) Whatever ended that hippie culture ? ( my guess is they needed to get jobs eventually)
I really enjoyed watching this - about 5 different times so far.
Thanks for sharing
Jim

Topic: Alzheimers - Twist on Mojo's lyrics - Creek Don't Run..... (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
First - Everybody should check out Joe's ( MOJO) song - recently posted and re- mastered - it is awesome !
After hearing it and reading the lyrics, I could not get that line out of my head!!
However as it ran around crazy in my brain all morning, suddenly - - an epiphany - a new meaning popped in my head.
I got the metaphoric message that had been bothering me. I wrote some stuff down and it started making sense to me.
HOWEVER, I must point out that within Joe's song there were a couple of terrific lines that I needed to borrow because not only did they fit, they were awesome thoughts from my perspective.
Not wanting to be a (lyric) pirate ( which ironically what his song was like ) I emailed Joe to explain my ideas and asked permission to use his words and adapt some of his thoughts to my theme. He granted me permission, which was ever so kind - Thanks again Joe !!
So anyway - i attempted to use some of Joe's ideas mixed with mine - to write about a terrible disease - Alzheimers !
I know that several Chordians have mentioned it in discussions. I tried to imagine being on the inside looking out. I tried to put a couple of metaphors in myself - but still - Joe's line is the King - to me it describes it perfectly - "The Creek don't run by my cabin no more !"
As you all know - I am not a singer, so it won't appear in audio unless someone else does it for me ( hint, hint )
So here it is - hope you like it - and again THANKS SO MUCH to MOJO for his inspiration and kindness to allow me to borrow his thoughts.

Re: NGD (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
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.

Topic: Summer of Love (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This song was Phill's idea , I helped with the lyrics a bit.
I think he did a masterful job. So much fun collaborating across the water.
Bouncing ideas back and forth was really a very cool experience for me,and as a novice,
I learned a lot from working with Phill.
I put it up on sound cloud - here is the link https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/summer-of-love
Hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.

First of all, I must thank Graham for recording a version earlier for me. He sounded so good on his acoustic, i decided to ask Jim Cristaldi, a friend in Nashville, to record it. I think it came out pretty good.
