Seasons greeting to you and yours.

Hi All,

I have just received a text message from Lieven. He is still in hospital and unsure when he will leave. Typically he says he feels good and bad, and like the Terminator he says "I'll be back".

He sends his love to you all.

You are being very hard on yourself there young man as we all know that you wrote a wonderful song for a certain Irish lady.

Hi Ark,

Yes Per has made all the Moderators into Administrators. The reason for this is that a Moderator can only take action in the section he is asssigned to look after whereas an Administrator can take action anywhere in the Forum.

Along with the new registration system and not allowing pictures in posts he is endevouring to keep this site clean and fit for all the family to visit.

Hello Bri,

And welcome to Cordie. I am one of the older members here being 60 years young and I have been playing since was 11 but I have to admit I am still learning.

I must say that your arrival here is quite timely, as a Lawyer perhaps you can give the definative answer to copyright on the songs that some of us post on here. The question raised recently on: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5475

I am sorry to throw this at you on your introduction to the site but you do have knowledge that most of us do not. Rest assured that we will all return the favour by giving what help and advice we can with your queries.

Thank you,

Roger

Ooops, sorry I missed you,

I was doing my morning patrol of the site looking for infiltrators, and fingers crossed, since Per has made alterations to the registration method and stopped the posting of pictures, it is looking quiter on the home front.

Have a good day and as this thread is about your new guitar perhaps I should ask how are you getting on with it? Also have you have chance to plug it into an amplifier yet and really let her rip.

False (The Beatles; Stones; Peter, Paul and Mary; Brenda Lee; and Elvis are more my cup of tea)

Hi All,

I have had a text message from Lieven this morning which he has asked me to pass on to you.

He has had a camera down his throat as Ken did earlier this year (yuk) and he has 4th degree laesions(sp) on his oesofagus(sp) and reflux so he does not know just when he will be able to go back home.

On the positive side he did say that the nurses were all pretty and that they all love him.

I will keep you posted of any developments.

Hi Pastfan,

Now I have been playing guitar longer than most on here and I remember my early guitars all had a fret immediately in below the nut so that the nut merely spaced the strings apart and it was this first fret which controlled the string distance from the fingerboard at that end. Nowadays this first fret is omitted and it is the slots in the nut that control the string distance from the fingerboard. Possibly your strings are held too high in the nut making it harder to play without the capo but be warned, if this is the case it is not the job for an amateur, you need a luthier as a cut too deep or too wide can ruin the guitar.

Take care,

Roger

Hi Helena,

I have made the same mistake too so that makes two of us (and I suspect we are not the only ones).

Not only am I looking forward to hearing your next recording on your new guitar I am hoping for a new picture of it being played for the wallpaper on my PC - PLEASE.
