And you're a pickle rhymer extraordinaire - don't leave that out!
yeah thanks buddy how could I forget I am THE PICKLE RHYMER
im about an hour and a half away
I like it Tony, I can see the castle walls
Mo's "been reading my mail".
What a well-written and performed tune, my friend!!!!
You really make those minor keys work for you, don'tcha? I find that songs in minor keys played the way you played this one really "clue" the audience that something personal is being sung about, which may or may not be the case here - just my opinion. Thanks for sharing this with us, buddy and I agree with Amy: Why are you not performing live?
A word about my opening sentence: It's not my quote and I have been remiss in not giving attribution. It belongs to Kris Kristofferson and he said it about Jerry Jeff Walker, I believe. So, apologies to Kris and kudos to Mo'!
Thanks!
Bill
why am I not performing live? I never really thought I had the talent for it. opportunity has never came along. this is the first place ive ever put any of my stuff out the public other than a few close friends. I started posting here out of curiosity to see what other people (besides friends) thought about my songs, not so much my singing them but the songs them self's. am I the only one who hears their self sing and cringe?
Interesting song, Mojo. I like it.
Have you thought of repeating the
I am just a lonely man
with an old guitar in my handI hope that God forgives
wont hold a grudge for the life I've livedno one knows where the road will end
when I get there I hope I see you againsection, and using it as a chorus?
.
that's a good idea I was looking for a chorus just couldn't come up with anything maybe add a few lines and make that the chorus. I will tinker with that when we get back from vacation in a week
thanks for the compliments
Mekidsmom , if by playing out you mean in public , no just with friends and get togethers
ok here's another one contemplating life, I hate trying to name songs some are obvious others not so much open to suggestions

(Em) when tomorrow turns to (G)yesterday
(D)and all your dreams have faded in(C) the haze
now your standing in the cross road
and your wondering where did all the time go
they say life is to short
your faith becomes your last resort
and in life's grand design
did you falter did you waste your time
I am just a lonely man
with an old guitar in my hand
I hope that God forgives
wont hold a grudge for the life I've lived
no one knows where the road will end
when I get there I hope I see you again
(Em)if only things in life
(G) were all in black and white
(D) no mistake between
(C) wrong and right
(Em)and when your times at end
(G)maybe only then
(D)the truth will come shining thru
(C)and God will talk to you
(Em) it then you realize
(G) when destiny arrives
(D) what's been truth and lies
(C) and what's deceived your
(Em) eyes
Can someone put up a "GROAN" smilie for Amy and 'Tails, please?
Re: The Pickle Song and what I said about it needing a bridge? I think it's okay just as 'Mo did it, on second thought. Especially the way it ends. It would definitely get a laugh at a concert.
Take a bow, "Mr. Mojo". You're "risin' " around here, for sure!
I also see you've been granted a "title". Grats, new friend!
Bill
Edited To Add: Who's next?
yeah pickle rhymer, that's the title I was hoping for
thanks Bill glad you liked it
PICKLE RHYMER???????well i guess i should have seen that one coming
i think im gonna go drown my sorrows in big shot of George Dickel
It's ArkADY, Mo'! Pretty sure he's a guy!
OCD Bill.
ETA: I'm also pretty sure it's not a first, sorry!
well pickle my cucumber and call me dill *LOL* I put on my reading glasses and Bill it would appear you are correct
my apologies to you ARKADY
i gots to be mo careful proof reading
* im getting kicked out for sure now*
I think we got us some comics onboard, "Chordites".
I'm seeing them as The Chordies' opening act by playing comedy songs and then joining the rest of us for the concert!
Yeah, I know: "Keep dreamin' Bill!"
Bill, cordite is appropriate seeing as how I have been called a social hand grenade on several occasions
ok I have to much time on my hands apparently. for this to make sense go to the chat forum and start reading a post I put up called members. what long strange road its been to get from members to pickles but as they say here we are and it is not pretty.
hope you get a laugh out of it

I can't keep up. I'm still learning how to shuck & silk, and already you've moved on to pickles and gherkins. Is their anything I need to know about them?
Keepitreal ,no need to keep up and nothing to learn here just kick back and enjoy your pickle
to strummer Bill your right, but this just kind of came together pretty fast, in fact it was written in the post a message box . is that a first?
To Arklady, teacher I am fully aware of the rules cause everybody knows pickles aint allowed in school. how ever it just would not have had the dramatic effect I was looking for posted in the song writing section. I humbly seek your forgiveness and will repost it in the proper location or put it back in the pickle jar and delete it . what ever is the pleasure of the ambient moderator
It would have to be one of the best Gherkins in all the land, theoretically. Oh and Mojo, I think that title would be too long.
with apologies to Mekidsmom and anyone else who may be offended by the senseless abuse of innocent and defenseless pickles I am truly sorry well mildly sorry ok im just sorry ,couldn't help myself had to do it
(G) well my name may never(C) be up in lights
(D)and I may never play in the (G)bars at night
and this song may never make me a plugged nickel
but ill get my title for the price of a pickle
this song may never be a rock classic
but ill keep the crowd happy when I play on my vlasic
my music may not keep me a working
but I don't care when im playing my gherkin
as I got older I gave up the pills
the vice I cant kick seems to be dills
before someone says my pickles to long
ill bring an end to this stupid song

Mods are paid in imaginary dill pickles, so once in a while when we get a particularly SWEET pickle, we may feel tickled to arbitrarily bestow titles and knightood to the occasional honored member. There are a few floating around that you might see that are not listed as "honored" but have some weird title, and they are not moderators.
so your saying there is a chance I could be knighted Sir Mojo lord of mediocre guitar and song writing ? and all I need to is slip some one a sweet pickle? hhmmm that just don't sound right
so what determines member status? I just noticed that my profile says member now . I missed it when it changed from Jr. member. I see some that are Sr. members and honored members. is there a criteria for advancement or do the chordie royalty arbitrarily bestow titles and knight hood to favored members (joking here) just curious
this is an instrumental that kind of came together while stuck at work a long way from home. it was done on a my travel guitar and on audacity on my laptop. i am looking forward to redoing it on my Taylor T5Z when i get home and giving it to my daughter who is getting married.
so let me know what you think of it is it worth redoing?
I pretty much open all the post in the song writing thread, when I first joined I went back through the older post but only checked out the post with a large number of responses. example this post already has more response than the last song I posted no song here just a question which I suppose acts as a conversation starter. I would have skipped over the song post and opened this one .
i was curious what makes people click on a song here? why do some get hundreds of hits and some only few? do you follow a certain person or is there something in the title that's makes you look at a post? I have my reasons just wondering what some others are.

ever start a song and ends up some where totally different than where you thought it was going to go?
again apologies for the recording quality it was done on aa lap top
(D)must have been some good times then (G)I just don't recall
(D)all I remember is the (G)whiskey and the brawls
(D)all my daddy left me was a(G) colt 45
(D)an old rusty church key and these(G) brown(A) blood shot(D) eyes
that old rusty church key well it don't turn no locks
the only door it opened was the school of hard knocks
I took that old 45 and I hit the road
I just let it take me any where the wind blowed
wound up in Texas down on Galveston bay
that's where that old 45 led me astray
in a little biker bar just off highway 3
in the smoky yellow lights of the refineries
a 20 dollar pool game well it ended a mans life
I had my daddy's 45 and he had a knife
came with out warning in the parking lot
I didn't have much time to think I just fired one shot
there was lots of good times then as I recall
life wasn't all that bad before I took the fall
lots of time to recollect in my dingy cell
life aint all that great in the iron bar hotel
https://soundcloud.com/mojo01/where-were-you
ok here's the recording, sorry for the quality done on my lap top
(G) (C) (D)
I saw you across a crowded room
(G) (C) (D)
you looked at me and right away I knew
(G) (C) (D)
the biggest mistake I never made
(G) (C) (D)
was staring at me here today
(G) (C) (D)
where were you when I fell in love
(G) (C) (D)
20 years to late for us
(G) (C) (D)
where were you when I fell in love
(G) (C) (D)
times all wrong damn the luck
(C) (D) (G) (Em) (C)
where were you when I fell in love
(D) (G)
where were you when I fell in love
I've got some one back at home
I promised to lover her alone
your eyes say you've got some one to
who's heart would break in two
where were you when I fell in love
20 years to late for us
where were you when I fell in love
times all wrong damn the luck
where were you when I fell in love
where were you when I fell in love
like two ships passing in the night
we both do what we know is right
we both go our separate ways
wondering what if everyday
where were you when I fell in love
20 years to late for us
where were you when I fell in love
times all wrong damn the luck
where were you when I fell in love
where were you when I fell in love
Jim to me it is interesting to see what lines other people like compared to the ones I like the best. some of the lines to me are not that good but hey you have to filler.
thanks every one for the compliments
