Kris Kristofferson wrote a song titled "Let's all get together and steal each others songs" to describe what happened when he and a bunch of the other Country guys did.  Willy playing Johnny songs, Johnny playing Waylon songs, Waylon playing Willy songs, and everybody playing Kris songs.

I expect you're right.  There's a lot of talent out there tucked away in studios and bar-rooms.

Terrific!  Happy NGD.

I don't want to play music.  I need to.  For years I didn't, and it ached.  Eventually, I just had to do it again else I'd have gone crazy.

No, but if you find out come back and tell us.  That would be great.  Usually I just print mine out and stick them in a folder to see them off line.  Not very high tech though.

Geez.  Sounds like it would be worth the trip.

That's nearly identical to the Kawasaki I used to ride.  I haven't ridden since being a teenager, but still miss it.

Welcome to Chordie.  I'm not sure how that works Roy, but I'll move your post up to "About Chordie" where one of the mods will almost certainly be able to help you out.

I suppose I'll get over the disappointment some day. 

Happy NGD.  My sister has an Epiphone dreadnaught that has me envious.  When she's been down on her luck, I've bought it from her twice, but always found excuses to give it back to her.  Some day I'd like to own it again and not give it back to her.

Take a song that you are comfortable singing.  Take a look at the chords of that song and figure out what key it is (if you have trouble with that, I'm sure another post in the theory section or back here in acoustic would get you the answer).  Then you know you can sing in that key at least. 

What annoys me is that not all songs in the same key work.  For instance, I always, always, always have trouble getting my voice to start off right in "Forever and Ever Amen" in D.  But I have no trouble whatsoever singing Early Morning Rain in D.  Other songs, A is easy as pie, but if I try to take another song to A it's awful. 

So, do what you can, but don't worry too much.  A lot of us are having the same trouble and still having fun.

Those are good guitars.  Very good for beginners too in that the 15/16 size makes for a low action and not as much of a stretch at the frets near the nut.
