Thanks for the kudo    I am truly sorry for your losses - no one can imagine the devastation of emotionsin situations like yours  unless they experience it  - I would like to know when you get your song done because i love songs that come from the heart - and I know yours will be.   We have a lot of people here in NY going through tough times too after Hurricane Sandy  .   Best wishes and prayers to you and your family .  I will send a copy of the mp3 of the song to your email - I hope thats ok.  Take care  JK

Very cool -  I had a similar experience in attempted soul saving - didn't work either.  I am amazed at your guitar skills for not having played for a while.  Maybe I should stop for a while and I would improve to that level ! smile   Anyway - very  very nice

I re-wrote this - changed chords - play it soft  4/4  Hope you like it !  I have trouble going from A to Bm  but it sounds much better with these chords - fits the song nicer.

Just got a demo produced in Nashville .  It sounds (in my humble and definitetly biased opinion smile )  pretty darn good.  The company that produced it, is pitching it for me for a contract -  but I am also free to pitch it -  is anyone on chordie familiar with how to pitch to recording companies or even radio stations?

If you want to hear it, email me and I will send you an MP3 of it.

no - I just listened to them from your links though - pretty cool songs I had never heard before.  I was just sitting around and had heard a line from country song about cowgirls and it just kinda popped in to my head.   I wrote a few lines - forgot about it -  then waited about three weeks and accidentally came across what I had written and started playing some chord progressions - and it just kinda flowed from there. Thanks for checking it out though.

I rewrote a bit of this and changed the last verse-  hope you like it.  Someone asked about hearing it - I don't have a website and I am not a good enough singer to YOU Tube it. smile

[ D ]It was Saturday night about  9 o’clock
[ G ]There were lights ‘n sirens on our block
[ A ]Cussin’ and screaming  filled the air
[ D ]It always  ends up  a family affair

There was pushing and shoving and calling names
everybody looking for someone to blame
there’s  nobody  gonna  win   this fight
cuz’ everybody’s wrong , if no one’s right

Chorus
[ A ] Every weekend’s it’s the same ‘ol thing
[ G ] Over and over  ,  a familiar ring
[ A ] ain’t  nothing  easy, nothing good
[ D ] Nothin’ changes in this neighborhood

[ D ]  [ G ]  [ A ]  [ D ]

Oh I’m staying clear and out of view
Don’t need no action in this hullabaloo
I really can’t say just what they did
Just  damn glad it’s not my  kid !

Somebody’s handcuffed in the back seat
I see’em   now going  down the street
Mama’s yelling   it’s gonna be alright
It’s just another wild  Saturday night !

Chorus
[ A ] Every weekend’s it’s the same ‘ol thing
[ G ] Over and over  ,  a familiar ring
[ A ] ain’t nothing is easy, nothing good
[ D ] Nothin’ changes in this neighborhood

I didn't write for it, but the lyrics seem to possibly apply to  Brett Favre talking to his wife after the latest episode with Jenn Sterger ( J.E.T.S. !)
