Hmm I kinda like the sound of that I will have to give it some serious concideration 
I think "Russell's Park Bench" would be a GREAT name for your act. I'll have to wait until I get on another computer to check out the video.
- Zurf
The weather is cooperating and once again my favorite park bench is the ideal spot to rehearse or compose new songs,this song in a cover of Neil Young's "After the gold rush" one of the songs requested in the Chordie set list topic and only the second cover song on myspace hope you enjoy

Stransongs thanks for your comments it took a little for me to appreciate Lyle for his abilities I was sidetracked by his appearance, the old saying "cant judge a book by its cover" comes to mind and I just added "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show to my set list fun song to play and sing
Lieven I dont care what he thinks he's a murderer and as far as Manson I dont need to be reminded of what kind of a monster he is once was enough.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT "THAT MAN" AWAKES IN THE MORNING AND THINK ABOUT WHAT HE DID? Look to his pictures, and you know more than enough.
Did you see on YOUTUBE Charles Manson? INCREDIBLE
Hi doral and welcome to Chordie nylon strings are used on acoustic guitars steel on electric the pickups on an electric are designed for steel strings there are some electric acoustics but putting nylon strings on a electric would affect the sustain and volume you might try useing a lighter gauge set of strings and its normal with a lot of practice for your fingers to hurt but with time that will go away but I would try a lighter set and see if that helps first before putting nylon on your electric
Thanks danspr I will add your name to our illustrious list
A suggestion would be to record and let them hear for themselves a few minutes of recorded sessions can open minds
Appreciate your comments Bensonp you never can tell im lazy by nature and I allways look for the easiest way to accomplish something with a minimal ammout of energy sort of "Green Pickin" 
Good grief what a troll.
Helena wonderful insightful words in these lines and it is so good to see you back on Chordie I hope your path is one filled with love and friends
Thanks Wayne it is a hybrid cross between finger pickin and strumming with my thumb its a less rigid playing style for me I also use it on the video "Aleta" on myspace
Russ, I really like your pickin style, don't know exactly what your doing but i like it.
Thanks I checked it out which one is Detman you guys need some light I couldn't tell who was who but it sounded good and that's all that counts and looks like you had a great time
Russ...the link to the video is in my post above yours.
=p

Phill Geez where did your son meet this "lady" he must be in love to put up with that I think I would have named the song nobody did that TO me but as usual you have a way of fashioning lyrics nice work and when you get it uploaded I will give a listen in the mean time try and talk some sense in the young lad
Conan O'Brien showed a photo of him without the hairpiece it was really eerie not that he looked all that great before just the stark image of a murderer was unsettling what he accomplished earlier in life is all wiped out because his deed is what he will be remember for.
Thanks Jeff and I would have loved to have been there, who knows next year I may make the pilgrimage to Zurf's mecca
Hi Phill I hope Muckka means friend yea I'm still pickin and as soon as I can get my act together I most likely will use the "upcoming gigs" feature on myspace who knows I might get booked in Europe (ho ho) the song is a little like "The Gambler" form Kenny Rogers but Lyle adds a few twists to make it distinctive,I still am waiting on some equipment that should come in the next few days so I can get started with setting up the presentation (rehearse the act) this may take a few weeks as I do not want to play unprepared before a live audience and there's so much potential with this new gear to "boldly go where no man has gone before,seek out new civilizations" sort of
Ken I did the same thing I typed in a response and checked the spelling with my spellcheck and hit the forum tab and wiped out all of the text and I too was tired and thought aarg and did not redo the post regarding this song Lyle plays the song capoed on the 9th fret the same as in my video but you can capo on the 4th and use the open chord formation C Am G or capo on the 2nd fret and use the open chord formation D G A and bar C#m or play the E in the 1st posistion with the chords open E B C#
Outstanding!!!! sounds like a great day and it could turn into an annual event nice to hear you did my song I am looking forward to the photos and a video if you did manage to get it
Well God bless ya glad to hear Jets and DT stopped by and that is always a plus to actually meet people you only chat or exchange post with here on Chordie I saw Lyle in the video and he had it capoed on the 9Th fret and so I figured why not the chords are easy and the vocal range in not to high and this was only a rough take but I figured what the heck
Thanks Doug (I think ) well Julia and Lyle did split up but if I was Lucky enough to have that lady heaven and earth couldn't come between and I ain't ever gonna be skinny again nor were any Afro wig so chances are slim to none but there's always my guitar to keep me company and I can pick on her as much as I want and she never gets mad
I normally do not do cover songs but I am with the help of members and Chordies song library putting a set list together because I have decided to unretire and do some gigs so I picked up some new gear and Zurf pointed me to this Lyle Lovett song "If I had a boat" and after watching the video I got to liking it so I did a cover of it this morning I did have to read the lyrics as I haven't had time to commit it to memory so Zurf here's the first cut hope you enjoy

Wayne I purchased a Fender Squire 4 its a lightweight 4 channel with reverb and two cabinets with 10" speakers and pole sockets the amp puts out 85 watts which is more then enough for me I have a photo of it in the guitars and accessories forum here(topic RC-20XL) on Chordie I'M familiar with "Sunday morning coming down" another good song to add and I have a Digitech vocalist that can add 3 part harmony in real time and hey if mom likes something you do she still loves you
Hey Russ,
Just curious what pa system you're getting.Sounds exciting with all the new toys to keep you busy.A song I do that people really seem to like is "Sunday Morning Coming Down" I use my vocal 4 on the chorus and even my mother likes it and she doesn't like much of what I do.I guess I'm still paying for my misspent youth.
Zurf "if I had a pony" has just been added thanks, lyle clamps a capo on his 9th fret and fingerpicks a open G Em D progression with an occasional C thrown in I have already memorized the progression and I can sing it in the same key so I just sing along and play to the video great song thanks again
Thanks Zurf for the links later on today I will have more time to listen and see if there's anything I might like,I ordered the PA yesterday looks like next thurs. I can start rehearsing all the songs and honing the act on the wheel of practice,still looking for that spare mutant gel
Mutant gel if somebody gets around to inventing it they'll make millions I have two Jimmy Buffet songs "Banana Republics and Margaritaville" no Lyle Lovett yet if I hear a song I can work out most changes some I need a lead sheet or chord chart if you have a couple of his on youtube send me a link and I'll look around for some spare gel
