I too come to Chordie with my guitar on my lap and unfortunately there is often a cat there as well. I does not make typing any too easy, I spend ages correcting and re-reading before I dare post a message.

Hi James,

If you could plug your microphone into your imagination that really would be cybermusic but as that is not possible I would say you have done a wonderfully grand job using your instrument and voice. Well done,

Roger

Hello Twist,

Welcome to Chordie. Any guitar will sound different when someone else plays it so why not record yourself playing it and then listen to your recording. Not only do you hear it as others do it does give you the chance to analyse your playing and look for improvements you might make. You may just be surprised how good you sound too.

Just a thought,

Roger

Hi James,

Your house sounds like a grand place to be, NOT a house but a HOME.

Good song, great to play. Thank you,

Roger

Hello Hi16,

If you open a song that you want to add to your songbook and look half way down the page on the right you will see a tag 'Add to Songbook'. Click on that and it will be copied to your songbook.

Hope that helps,

Roger

Hi Mountaingirl,

The short answer is yes although it may take a while to appear if just left. When you have the song posted elswere note the URL, open 'Resources' at the top of the page, then open 'Add song to the index', type in the URL and Amin will see that it gets put in the Index promptly.

Incidently the song must be in chopro format to be accepted and you can see how that is done in the 'Sticky' at the start of the Songwriting section.

Roger

Hi Ken,

I think I will have to re-write this song especially for your benefit but if I do I will probably not be able to re-post it here.

Of course you could always unleash your fertile imagination and re-write it yourself if you wish and from the sounds of it make a better job than I could as you seem to know about these things than I do.

Roger

Thank you Ken, Arkady, Badeye and Bonedaddy,

I am pleased to hear that I am not the only one who is soft with his pets because I was the one who came to Portugal and said "Definitely no pets they are too much of a commitment". Bonedaddy I had not heard that saying before, it is well worth remembering.

Helena, who has slipped a post in while I was writing this, thank you for your kind words but did you have to remind everyone that Henry is more intelligent than I and realised the danger of aerosols and flame .

When I moved here there were four dogs and Henry went missing for 5 days leaving little T.T. on her own. On the third night there was such a commotion and yelping and the dogs have ever since given the cats a wide berth.

Thank you all again,

Roger

A couple of suggestions for you:

Drums in Kneed

Crutched Percussion

The Legless Drummer Band

As I have access to how many posts members have made, for interest sake, I will list the top 10

James McCormick 1264
Gitaardocphil        1012
Upyerkilt               993
Old Doll                 737
Roger Guppy         717
Badeye                 593
Bootlegger            550
Jerome O'Neil        528
Admin                   465
Jets60                   427

As you can see only three people have posted more messages than Old Doll and I do agree that she has been, and still is, a much valued Member of Chordie and would make an excellent Moderator. She would certainly be my first choice if an opening arose.

Roger

Ok I am showing my age again with some of these but what about:

The Everly Brothers
Mamas and Papas
Simon and Garfunkel
Peter, Paul and Mary
John Denver
Glen Campbell
Buddy Holly
Roy Orbison

All greats and certainly musical influences for me.

Roger
