  You guys are gonna LOVE the NEW CHORDIE layout!

The ENTIRE site is getting an overhaul... the forums may not have tons of new "features" - but fear not! Even if new features aren't implemented in the forums immediately, I think some new ones might be down the road.  1st and foremost is getting the main portion of the site beautified and working better.  Who wants to say a big "hoo-rah" for less downtime in the near future??

I've been watching the news keeping an eye on you guys!  We got hit last week - but it's "normal weather" for my area.  I hear we sent a bunch of snow plows over toward Long Island to help out.  Sounds like we should have sent them to Virgina instead (although... Long Island doesn't really own any plows, compared to Zurf's town just not keeping them working). 

Um... Joe... I think "State of Emergency" means that no one is leaving their homes, and you shouldn't too.  Sit down, relax.  Wait for it to pass.  (You are in a State of Emergency aren't you?  I think everyone in the big colorful areas of the map are).  Of course, I realize who I'm talking to.  It's much like when I tell Jim he's too sick to go to work and he says, "no such thing".  Sigh...

Stay Safe Fellas!!!! OH... and keep it too.  We don't want it up here. 

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you may live in Saskatchewan.
You can drive 110 kph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching ... because, what is there to hit anyway?

  Yes, on the whole, Canada has even more wilderness than the US.  Bigger bears and more moose too.  Thanks for sharing those stats TF!

It's certainly a bit concerning to know that loaded weapons could have made it through.  On the other hand, I'm quite happy to know that security worked and they didn't make it through.  Why assume many were missed?  Maybe none were missed? 

Phill - Funny thing, I never realized how different our counties landscapes were until Roger came here.  Frankly, I never even thought about how large the USA is compared to ... well ... just about every other country, including mama England.  The amount of "wild" over here is HUGE!

I found something online that stated that there are 11 US States larger than the UK.  Keep in mind, we've got like 50 of em!  Texas is almost 3 times the size of the entire UK. There's a LOT of undeveloped land here.

I live in a rural area.  Where our house is, we only own 1 acre.  However, we own a 17 acre plot of land nearby.  It's connected to many more acres that are all untouched.  Woods.  Forrest.  Watch out for bobcats.  I can assure you, if you saw a bear on a "main" Road near me ... you'd be screaming for someone to get their gun, because that sucker would be rabid!  In the woods, well that's another story.  Even a back yard.  My dad has a cool picture of one he took in HIS backyard.   

I could be crazy, but I think Roger would vouch for us, as well as the massive amount of wooded area around here ... and he saw the contents of the gun cabinet in our home!    I do hope we can meet you someday!

What a lovely collection!  Thank you Bill and Dondra for sharing it with us! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

UJB - and others that were at the PA gathering (Zurf) can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHoL9 … oyARtYqgqg

BGD - https://soundcloud.com/joe-lilly/  (I know he's got youtube vids somewhere but I can't for the life of me find them)

Not sure about TF...

And... just for Bill and Dondra  I JUST recorded this.  One take, all mistakes included, no editing... sorry for the horrid moments, but it's me.    Love you two, and the clear love you have for one another. 

"The Way I Am"  by Ingrid Michaelson (butchered by me, for you):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_iBG8_ … e=youtu.be

While it's not yet indexed on Chordie, I'm sure it will be soon!  In the meantime, you can find it online at multiple locations.  It's available at ultimate guitar:  https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/litt … sh_crd.htm

That's a pretty good song to practice with.  I've been doodling around with it myself.  As you're probably familiar with the song, you know there's a lot more singing than musical frills, and it's pretty much played like a waltz.... meaning, you are going to basically play each chord for 4 beats.  To help with tempo and chord changes, I suggest just simply doing one down strum for each beat.  Good luck!  Have fun!

  So sorry to hear about this Bill!  We'll be thinking of you!!!!!

Thanks for including the link to the song UJB - and thanks for reporting it Home Sweet! 

Chordie is currently undergoing some changes... I'm not sure if these are going to rectify the issues or not... but stay tuned to a change coming VERY SOON!  Hopefully this will fix those rogue pages. 

Hey there Bill!  I like your idea, however I'm not quite sure how that would work out.  I mean... I *think* I could make a portion of that work... however... I also think I'm over thinking it. 

Maybe if folks wanted to toss up a youtube video with some of their music playing and a photo slideshow going with it, that would work.  Then people can look at it whenever they want.  THAT could work. Assuming those chordians that want to participate know how to put a video like that together.   I don't think it would work LIVE though.   

As a side note however, I am going to send ya an email here in a bit... as Jim saw your post and had a good idea.    Talk to ya soon!

Zurf is right on, zinc will totally block out all sun. 

In the mean time, I suggest buying your wife some Eos lip balm.  It's like $4 for a little container, and it's the "popular" thing right now.  It has a TON of flavor in it... that might keep her busy for a while loving on her own lips. 

I certainly wish the two of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  I'm very glad that Dondra will be home with you for it all as well as your birthday!  It's about time.  Now tell her to stay put!   

My Bday is the day before yours.  So, an extra special Happy Birthday in advance from one "holiday baby" to another.  May you receive all for Christmas that your heart desires and your Birthday present not be gifts they shorted you on Xmas or that one thing they decided to hold off on getting...  but instead truly thoughtful b.day gifts wrapped in actual birthday paper.
