Just picked up a nearly mint condition Ks acoustic for very little money ,Any info on this would be great its a model KC 225 small body , full scale length with a zero fret has a made in GDR sticker on the back of the head stock .So I expect it dates from late 50s early 60s. The only other Ks guitar I've owned I bought new in the early 80s it was an electric .

Re: Song: Another Chance (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Been a bit busy this last week or so but I managed to pick my guitar up tonight and play this song through . As I said in my earlier post top class country blues ,definitely one I would slip into the set if I were still playing with GB Blues band or doing my country and western set in uk clubs . I'll try and do a quick recording of it but I'm getting ready for a festival at the start of July and I'm still rehearsing the set .

Topic: Difficulty with drummers (0 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Since returning to live in the UK nearly 6 yrs ago now the biggest problem I've had with my music is finding a drummer for live gigs . Over in Greece I was able to find many wanting to play but here in the UK it seems to be a problem lots of bands have . For recording I've been able to use drum machines or loops but its not the same . Most of my gigs these are solo performances ,Just wondered how you guys think , Is there a decline in the amount of available drummers or not .

This song is a little homage to a few people or songs that influenced me over the years and maybe a few songs also that I just liked there's plenty in there to pick out . Have fun ,make a list .
Sorry about the voice but its a bit rough at the moment .
Garcias Glasses
Em G D
And we saw the world through Garcias glasses
Em C D
And heard the sound through White Rabbit ears
Em G D
And our clothes were made of rags and tatters
Em C D
And our hearts were full of joy and tears
Em G D
As we ride on that last train to Clarksville
Em C D
Or maybe its the Marakesh express
Em G D
Then we'll drink just one more cup of coffee
Em C D
cos theres no one left here to impress
A Em
And we know ther'll always be tommorrow
A Em
as we ride our horses to the sun
A Em
cos we are the children of the future
C- D Em
and we are ….. the chosen ones
Em G D
And we might stay a while at Hotel Yorba
Em C D
But someday we'll have to move away
Em G D
Then we'll take that short walk on the wild side
Em C D
Before we sit with Otis on the bay
Em G D
And I'll wear my cape made out of sack cloth
Em C D
As I try my best to fly
Em G D
Like a pilgrim you dont notice passing
Em C D
And I tell you that I aint no nice guy
A Em
And we know ther'll always be tommorrow
A Em
as we ride our horses to the sun
A Em
cos we are the children of the future
C- D Em
and we are ….. the chosen ones
Em G D
And I might say I'll meet you after midnight
Em C D
Down by the Riverside Cafe
Em G D
I might bring you a bouquet of dead flowers
Em C D
If you wear your rasperry beret
Em G D
Then we'll live in splendid isolation
Em C D
Close enough to paradise for me
Em G D
Play our songs and bathe in the green river
Em C D
Hear the wind and know we are stone free
A Em
And we know ther'll always be tommorrow
A Em
as we ride our horses to the sun
A Em
cos we are the children of the future
C- D Em
and we are ….. the chosen ones

Re: Chordie Thoughts. (28 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I must admit I only post stuff on here which has little or no political or rude content as I've always seen it as a family friendly forum .Some of my live performances which can be found on you tube often have content which can cause offense in some instances and to groups of a certain ilk .To which I say I pick and choose venues which are suitable for adult content and always ask the management if what I do is liable to cause offence. As Scott says posting on a forum does date stamp work and back up copy wright. Which can only be a good thing .
As long as I have something to say I will continue to post and actively promote Chordie as I feel it has given plenty to me over the years and I hope it will begin to grow again .

The original version was from my 2014 album London rain which I made when I came back to the UK for a short break prior to selling the house in Greece.All the songs were written at my sons flat and recorded as if they were a live performance.

I also check in daily but don't always post. There does seem to be a bit of an exodus from theory and I don't understand but we have had a lot of spam over the past few years and I wonder if some of those posts has scared people away.
