Can't go wrong there. smile

And if you have some money left over, you can put it towards a road trip to attend 1-2 of the chordie events that are somewhat near you.

Syracuse, NY. and Harrisburg, Pa. come to mind. smile

I wouild love to attend. The only problem is that at my job, we have to set our time off one year in advance. @016 vacations are already set.

I have to agree with UJB here... and since your vacation dates are already set, you now need to tell us what they are so we can try to plan around you being able to make it!  big_smile

It's December in NY, and it feels a LOT like September.  Mind you, I'm not complaining that I haven't had to go out and shovel snow... it's just weird.  I can only remember one other year when we didn't have snow on Christmas, but I'm pretty sure we had SOME snow before Christmas that had melted.  We haven't had ANY yet this year.  A few flakes fell from the sky once or twice, but they melted immediately. 

Jim just mowed the lawn the other day.  MOWING in NY in DECEMBER!

Hey Bill - Nope.  Per the directions - these are photos that will be used for a NEW feature coming to Chordie -- VERY SOON -- that will list out the Top Songs searched for specific categories.  The photos will be used as a category heading.  I really think your outfit looks very country/western.  So, if you're cool with that, I think that'd be the best category for it out of those available.


Alright folks - this thing is coming to a close.  I'm submitting everyone's photos that follow the guidelines into the head chief (aka admin better known as Per).  Of course, the final decision on which photos will or will not be used and where they will or will not be used is up to him.  He might not use any - and he might even use them all... I don't know... but I have a feeling we will find out very SOOOOOON! 

This is very exciting!  Who's ready to see something NEW around here, other than JJJ's New Guitar Day posts?  tongue  (hee hee - love ya Joey, I couldn't resist the dig though)

Hey NELA - if I remember correctly, you've got a slowish internet connection.  That's probably why you're having issues with youtube - it takes a bit of bandwidth/speed to get those videos to play.  Amazon has the song available to buy on MP3 - but even better, you should be able to listen to a portion of the song for free from their purchase page. 

Go to the link below, scroll down a little, under the album art you'll see the song title and a little sideways triangle to play the song.  It won't play the whole thing, but maybe it'll be enough with the chords RickyJack provided to get ya on track!  Good luck! (of course, you could buy the stinking mp3 for like 89 cents and hear the whole thing too... but, I'm just suggesting hearing the preview so you can listen for free in a way that should work for ya).

HAPPY NGD!

I have to admit, I came into this thread saying to myself, "Did he FINALLY get the MARTIN???????"

It's all good.  Takamine's are nice, and that sounds like a good deal!  Plus, the Martin is still in the works ... I hope you didn't have to cut into the Martin savings too much though!

OH - and... pictures?

Files are here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w78l6dkf4fcq … WYeca?dl=0
As I was grabbing these off the internet, dependent upon the service each of you used, the files I was able to save may not have been the best quality... then I had to resize them... many may appear a bit wonky.  These photos all looked great at their original resolution, so when the winners are determined we just might need the originals resent via email or some other method to ensure the best possible picture quality (and I'll be able to edit the photos a bit better too, including redoing the cropping to the best possible location).

There are a few I put Question Marks next to, this means I'm not sure what category you were going for.  Please, comment... that'd be BILL, and JJJ! 

Also, if I screwed up and put the wrong category or you'd like to change your mind, PLEASE DO let me know!  :) 

BGD - you had put a few up that went along with certain Forum categories... we actually need photos for the NEW COMING SOON "Top Songs" categories.  I get it, you were excited!  :)  Take a look again at the first post, ad let me know which ones you want to submit to which Top Songs categories and I'll edit this post to add them in!  :)  BTW, I personally really like the one of you alone, eyes closed, singing in the mic! 

If I missed any (other than BGD's) please call me out on it and point me to the location needed... sometimes, I are blonde.  ;)

Roger and UJB - you are included in photos submitted by other people.  If you don't want those photos used, let me know (privately is fine if you're shy - which is funny because I've met you both and neither of you is shy, but you're both gentlemen)!

Hey Bill, it looks like the photo is no longer available on photobucket for some reason. But, I went through your photos in there, and found it in a different location.  My guess is maybe you uploaded a new version of the photo (or photobucket got weird) and photobucket made the old one unavailable and gave the new one a slightly new name.  Anyhow... for anyone that didn't see it yet, here it is!

Awesome photos guys (and Jandle, although I posted that one... well... I couldn't leave us gals out)!  Keep them coming!

Only one thing to mention... for any of the photos to be used, you need to make certain that you have EXPLICIT permission from anyone in the photos to use the photo for any possible reason that our almighty admin may deem to use it! This can become a huge legal issue later on down the road, and it's the reason the suggestion was to make certain the photo is only of yourself.  It's kind of difficult to say, "eh, it's fine, Jimmy Jo Bob won't mind" - and then to have our amazing admin get sued a year from now because Jimmy Jo Bob became famous and wants his cut from the profits of Chordie (which, for the record, I don't think any profits exist.  Yes, there are ads on the site - but - running a website like this isn't free either.  I highly doubt there's a profit margin when one considers the coding time, etc put into this website either.  If there is, then I say Kudos!  He deserves it!  It's still free for us!). 

Anyway - That's just my little reminder.  I don't know what pics our admin will choose.  That's up to him, as is any possible legal ramifications.  If you'd like those photos considered though, please make sure you talk to the other people in them and ensure that they are in agreement to have their image used!  smile  AND - make sure you make a note here on the forums that you've done so! Cross the T's and dot those I's!

I'll be back later or tomorrow to try to organize these a little, resize them, make sure we have the suggestions for categories correct, all that jazz!  smile If you didn't submit a suggested category and there's one you'd like your photo included in, please do mention that! 

UJB - I've saved most of the jars for you!  I expect to see you SOMETIME next year and will happily return them!  smile  I might even bake more cookies.

I'm so sorry to hear you two are still going through the wringer.  You're both in our thoughts on a regular basis.  I do hope things turn around for you soon.  This is more than anyone needs to deal with, especially without a lot of help from family nearby! Thank you so very much for thinking of all of us during this... your kindness for others and thoughtfulness while dealing with enough of your own issues says heaps about your character (yourself and Dondra of course).  We love ya's!

Well, NELA... you're the one who owns and takes care of it.  Ultimately, it's your choice.  I like Tyson's wording... "I don't generally let others play my guitars" ... you could certainly reword that to, "I don't usually let people I don't know too well handle his guitar.  It's kinda special to me."  They'll get the hint, and if they don't, then they're dumb and you have a good reason to flat out say no.  Maybe it'll be a conversation starter.  Maybe, if you DO decide after talking to them that you wouldn't mind, they'll be a bit more responsible with it.  I can understand the frustration though, she should have brought a guitar with her if she wanted to play a guitar.

I generally let people play my guitar if they want to try it out, but I don't have a 1989 Yari either.  wink

I personally was hoping Graham would offer a photo!  Graham, you are not only a great player, but you have some really good photos of yourself up on stage!  You're very photogenic!  Love it!  smile 

Nice mandolin pics Roger!  I like the photo of you and Colin too! 

Christmas is right around the corner here... get out your guitars and pose them by the tree and take some pics, people!  We need more competition!  smile 
(we also haven't seen any Uke pics yet, and I know there's a bunch of Uke players!!!)

Roger's right about photo size, but I can adjust those (and maybe brighten them up a bit).  No worries there. Don't let your photo editing skills keep you from submitting photos.  Keep em coming!

Note... my opinions don't matter a rats behind, Per gets to choose in the end!  big_smile

That's a good suggestion UJB!  We'll have to make sure Roger Guppy is ok with his photo being used.  wink  ha ha! 

I just added another photo type to the list above:
Also needed is a photo for the "Breaking News" section (this photo needs to be 320 pixels wide × 60 pixels high)

Something that would be "newsflash" worthy!  smile

Hi everyone! 

That's right, there are changes coming soooon to Chordie!  Our amazing admin, Per, has been discussing some of these great changes with the moderation team as we've been munching on those glorious dills.  We're all VERY excited!  Roger came up with a FANTASTIC idea, and I offered to assist with it.  We need YOUR HELP!  smile 

The changes that are coming to Chordie are going to be AMAZING!  While we can't give away all the details yet, one thing that's changing is some of the look to the front page.  Finding songs by category is going to be new and improved.  Roger's suggestion was that we offer members the opportunity to submit pictures to go along with those categories that will be viewed on the website.  I think it's an awesome idea, and Per agrees!  Heck, we're family right?  Many of us visit here so often that it's, in a way, our place to be, our home away from home on the net. 

Do you have a photo that you think would make a GREAT heading for the Blues category?  How about Mandolin songs?  Christmas tunes?  Here are the list of categories that will be featured:

Blues
Absolute Beginner
Campfire Songs
Christmas
Country & Western
Folk & Traditional
Mandolin Collections
Praise & Worship
Rock
Uke Collections
Also needed is a photo for the "Breaking News" section (this photo needs to be 320 pixels wide × 60 pixels high)

There will be a photo used for each category.  Rather than simply using stock-royalty free photos, Chordie would LOVE to feature YOUR member photos!  Many of you have shared pics with us of your NGD, your jam around the campfire, your gig, etc... so we know you have them, and they're awesome pics!  Let's use those awesome pics to portray WHO Chordie is, rather than stock photos of people that have never visited here.  smile  I'm so excited about this (if you couldn't tell)! 

MEMBER PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:
You may submit a link to your downloadable photo here, in this thread (if you need help, or want to submit the photo via email shoot an email out to myself or another moderator).
All photos should be 263 pixels x 200 pixels (if you need help re-sizing pics shoot an email out to myself or another moderator)
