Re: autoharp players (23 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
I love the sound of an autoharp. I did own one until I had burglars who cleaned me out, hopefully I will get one again.
Welcome Heidi, nice to meet you too.

Re: Some Free Jokes For On-Stage Patter (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My current favourite is about the woman who was arrested for bludgeoning her husband to death with his guitar collection.
At her appearance in court, the judge asked "First offender?"
To which she replied "No! First a Gibson and then a Fender"

P.S. As Amy now knows (I ate some at her home) crisp sandwiched are a British delicacy. They are even on the Aer Lingus flight menu. Great with tomato ketchup on too.

Topic: Blast from the Past (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Back in 2008 I started a collaboration and we produced a song called "Wrapped in Happiness".
This morning, right out of the blue I received an e-mail from Rachael Hodgins (Radchael1975), one of the contributors, who has not been on Chordie for quite some time. Unfortunately I was getting ready for work and did not have much time to chat, but she is still playing guitar and teaching her 13 year old how to also.
I will have to find out more tonight.

Re: Monday Morning's Classics (85 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Bill, no need for apologies, it is only a suggestion. I just thought that as the 'Blues' and the 'Rock' links are there they would be better together and the title change lets everyone know what it is about.
It can stay here as it is, if you prefer, it is your topic.
Your decision, Sir!!

Can I suggest that I change the title of this topic to "Monday Morning's Classics" and move it to 'Bands and Artists' where the other music suggestions are?

Re: Added Another One To The Songbook, Rick..... (5 replies, posted in Song requests)
Bill what you have posted is probably copyright material and, if so, it will removed by the section Moderator.
However I think that the chords are shown in the wrong place and should be something like this:
Burning BridgesKelly's Heroes
[D]Friends all tried to warn me but I [Em]held my head up [G]high,
[A]All the time to warn me but I [D]only passed them [D]by,

It is OK to show a couple of lines as an example so this is allowed.
