  Hey Bill!  I think that's a common issue that's brought on by being self conscious.  Despite having sung in front of people over my life time, I STILL get nervous and self conscious.  In fact, most people don't seem to be able to tell, but I'd swear my knees were knocking through at least half of the song the first time a mic is put in front of me - EVERY TIME. Ya know what helps?  Alcohol. The problem I find is that even if I'm not feeling quite so self conscious anymore, I'm still scared I'll try something FUN vocally and sound like a frog instead.  I HAVE tried anyway, and usually do sound like a frog.    If YOU drink enough alcohol though, you can't tell!  ha ha ha ha! 

Seriously though, I've stopped stressing so much about what my recordings sound like before putting them up.  I'm working hard on trying to portray feelings through singing - just let myself FEEL and not THINK so much - instead of portraying the self conscious side too.  Life is too darn short to care so much about a few off notes! 

I've got to say though - ZURF deserves a LOT OF KUDOS in this department.  He has let go, and worked on his voice and improved a LOT since the first time I ever heard him (gahhhh... that was back in 2011).  BE LIKE ZURF (maybe I should add that to my signature).

I'll check it out and see what I can do, Bill.  No promises, but I WILL TRY!

Nice choice for the start of the thread!  That guy doesn't have very many videos up, which is too bad.  Excellent playing!  I don't know how people manage to do that, though I could listen to it all day! 

I feel your pain!  It was BEAUTIFUL here for a while.  Spring was springing up all over.  Then all of a sudden we got snow and it hasn't warmed back up since. We're on about 2 weeks of the "spring joke" now.  Snow this time of year here is no biggie, but it doesn't generally fall after the flowers come up. 

Just had a lovely conversation with JJJ on the phone.  For those wondering, YES he does have a Mass. accent.    Ok - so we're nailing down some dates here... looking at that weekend of the 5th-7th possibly instead of the 12th-14th.  Any one else want to chime in on specific dates that may or may not work best?

OF COURSE Scott! 

Ok... so you're off for sure August 6 until when? If you're not off on the 5th, I'm not sure you'll want to drive all the way here ON the 6th, so does this include the following weekend of the 12-14th??????  If so, then we may still be on without any changes. If not, we may be able to change it to the weekend of the 6th!  Just let me know. I do still have to do a little research for a special VIP guest before making a final date decision though. 

You'll be here right?  I mean, you know you wouldn't want to take a chance at missing out on seeing the infamous bread machine in person!    I've still got you on the calendar for the other date... and you'll have to let us know when the weather will be good, if you need some help with the camp still! 

I think that's an AWESOME idea! 

Wow, he was quick.  He plays it: C. F. G. G7

I believe that would be transposed to: E A B B7
Which is the same chords they are playing in the link I gave you previously.    As for lyrics... I'm sure you'll have more luck online than with our help.  ha ha!  Kind of a little well known thing about my pops and I, we can NEVER remember all the lyrics!    Good luck! Happy strumming!

I'll be honest, I think the only other information that the website may provide that you don't want shared is your IP address, and as a moderator, I can see that when you visit here anyway! 

We jammed on Skype together at some point?  Must have been ages ago!    I need to do that more often.

I'm late to the party!  Alas, Doug has you covered... so I'll just sit over here and hum some songs with Mojo.

Glad you all enjoyed the late addition last week!   

This week we've got a 3 sister folk-rock band from England. The sisters have amazing harmony, this is ear candy people!
Emily - vocals
Jessica - vocals, guitar
Camilla - vocals, ukulele

They began performing as The Staveley-Taylors at open-mic nights at a local pub, The Horns, and later changed their name to The Staves.

I don't think anyone will say they can hardly hear it this time!  NICE!
