Sorry- that didn't click...why I was thinking it was a dialect word for soil, I don't know. That's a nice little story though- off to listen to the song again, and await the final recording. smile

Great job, Alan.

Could I ask what you mean by "the cries of three sturdy youngsters on the sill"? It's not a word I've come across, and I'm quite curious.

Sheesh- I forgot the most important part?

It's up at SoundClick.

You can hear it here

One question- that line "You taught me so much wisdom" doesn't quite make sense to me, but that was the way it came...is there anything I can change it to?

Thanks for the compliments.

I've been waiting two years and one month to write this song- the precise amount of time Chris had been "physically absent" at the time of writing it. It's just a simple tribute- in the words of Tim McGraw:

"My old friend, this song's for you,
'Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
To show the world that you were here,
'Cos the love and the laughter, will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears."

God bless, Chris.

An mp3 has just been uploaded to MySpace.

Thanks. I thought I was gonna have to put a new set on, but now you say that, it does look like just the shine.

Hi, all.

I wondered whether anybody else had experienced a similar difficulty, because I restrung the guitar yesterday, and put a set of Martin 13s on. However, I've just looked at the guitar again, and the B string is showing a small amount of wear already. Is this ordinary?

Thanks,

Shady

As are new strings, Zurf. Gates of heaven, you might say. Inadvertently broke the G today, and put a new set of Martin .13s on my guitar. Heaven, for sure.

Hopefully I'll have a recording up on MySpace by tomorrow night, so I'll follow with a link. smile Thanks for the compliments on the song. Funny you should mention "American Pie", Phill, because when I try and sing this song to somebody to demonstrate it, I always end up singing that instead. http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/7581/moskingqa5.gif

Nice song shadywilbury, I like Jim Croce. BTW, you like the Traveling Wilburys? Is that where you got your name? I like them also. I was just playing some wilburys yesterday.

Indeed. smile Unfortunately, I never saw Jim live, but I love his music. He had a certain way with words, which few could ever hope to match, in my opinion. It was a great shame that he and Maury were on the same plane...

I've worked out a Teddy Thompson song- "In My Arms" by listening to and watching the acoustic version. During the solo, he uses a chord which I've recently worked out to be Ebmaug5, which seems like a pain in the backside to play, or get anywhere from. Does anybody really use this chord?

Can I request TABLATURE for "Some Days Are Diamonds" by John Denver? I am trying to work out a solo arrangement, and can't figure out the melody by listening to it.

Thanks,

Shady

He is definitely a great guitarist. Is there a chance anybody around here could link me to an accurate chord sheet for "Dimming of the Day"? (That's one of my favourite tracks of his.)

Wow...Robert, that's a very touching song. I'm sorry for your loss, but I am sure your friend will appreciate the song that's been written in his honour.

Best wishes,

Hello,

I recently requested a password reset, because I had forgotten my password, however, upon receiving the email, and logging in with my new password, I went to change it to something more memorable, and was informed that I had the wrong old password on both occasions when I tried either pasting it into the box, or typing it in manually.

Any assistance would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Shady

How was the live performance of "Blue Umbrella"? That's a really pretty song, so I imagine it must have been good.

First: The Cavern Beatles

Best: Newton Faulkner, December '07.

He rocked.....:D

I have spent the past two days or so working on it, and I am pleased to say that I can now play the basic clawhammer uke stroke with a degree of competence. (Alright, it's the lowest degree, but I'm chuffed!) I'd do sound samples, but for some reason, my mic won't pick up the uke.

Tomorrow Never Knows- The Beatles.

All G! smile

Thanks.

I've found one in D, which is far simpler than the E A B7 version. (I'm still a wimp when it comes to B7.)
