Re: Could use some prayers / positive vibes (41 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
First - my prayers go out to your brother in law and your family
I am no doctor - but many years ago a man I worked with had a son that was very close to death - similar symptoms I believe.... baffled the heck out of their Dr.s in Philadelphia as well, a nurse was talking to the sibling one day during a visit to the hospital and the sibling told the nurse about their new parrot. The Dr. in the room heard the conversation and immediately said you have a new parrot - - found out the parrot had some weird tropical parasite that had transmitted to the sick boy... they then took appropriate action - saved his life. I'm not saying this is what I think - but consider anything that he came into contact with prior to sickness.
Best wishes to a recovery.

Russell
That is sweet !
This is a guitar I made out of wood scraps in my shop. I didn't really know what I was doing having never made a guitar before - but it came out pretty good. The fret height was toughest for me. Plays fair - would be fine if I filed frets more even.
It was fun to learn about how the electrics are wired and how the guitar works though. There's a lot of stuff that I had no idea about.
Anyway... can't wait to see your completed strat re-do.
JIM
I fixed the image tags for you check it so you can do it in he future

Re: SPECIAL LOVE (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
My daughter and I sang this as a duet ( well she sang and I tried to sing ) alternating lines in some of the verses. She thought it would be a great song for a wedding, it did sound pretty cool doing it that way, except for my voice of course). I wish I could sing so you could hear it . lol

I made a few changes to lyrics - I wrote it because I was so angry at the LA Clippers owner for his blatant racism- what an idiot ! No room for that anywhere in our society.

I like like it a lot , even though " besotted" is $50 word that I had to look up. I guess I would be stuck with obsessed or infatuated with if I was writing it - but now i am a bit smarter thanks to you Can't wait to hear it.
The verse
"And I can say with utmost certainty.
She will make you want her constantly. " reminds of the guitar you wanted for so long - and then when you got it in you hands the feeling wasn't there.
Good work my friend

Re: SPECIAL LOVE (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks Phill,
I agree with what Dave pointed out as well - same perspective I have with my wife. :0 )
The Bm is really hard for me to play, but ibecause it sounded right - I couldn't avoid it.
There are so many talented musicians on Chordie - and everyone is so positive --- whoever came up with this idea should be commended ! The camaraderie among the members is amazing !

Re: White Sand (27 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Amy,
After listening to it - I was so impressed. You have a GREAT VOICE ! It took me a couple of " listens" to figure out that you put the word cruise in ( rhymes with Blues) - I could picture you going through the night writing this --- it has that once in a lifetime sound - I'm sure you didn't want to let it go and try to re-create it in the morning ! It is just excellent!
It has such an "Island flow" and the way you bring the lyrics to life - it makes me want to go to my favorite spot on Earth right now - the beach ! ( Topsail, NC is my heartland of beaches) I think I am closer now to how you play it - but you are so much better. You are truly blessed with vocal and instrumental talent.

KAP - That was a very nice song ! I enjoyed the guitar playing - the story is very Special. I have an affinity for being a cowboy - so it hit home. I thought you sound was very heartfelt- like you were really the subject of the song. I also liked how you did the video - blending pics with you performing - that was awesome! Thanks for the peak, keep sending them out !

I listened to it on your myspace website - sounds very nice... captured the emotion of the moment I think ..... quite sad
I did have that thought from the Seinfeld episode where George Costanza says - " it's not you it's me" pop into my head though, and it made me smile in the middle of this sad song.
Well done though. It is funny how things pop into your head for songs....... showers, riding in car, walking with the dog --- they just seem to come out anywhere they choose.
anyway - thanks for a nice song Phill
