I have no doubt at all that you will record and post this entertaining song? Of course when it's spring with you it's autumn here. Enjoy your spring/summer and let's hear this soon.

Yep, going to be 33 today, summertime is finally coming (after a slow start!!!)

Thanks - that was what I was thinking too; a lot of people on these forums are having a hard time, so hoping this will lift the mood a bit ... Cheers for your version too, I haven't had a chance to listen yet, as I saw it and had to head to work, but I'm glad you had a go!!!

Hi,

If you have the MP3, you can try the free software from Fender to work out the majority of it:

^ Neo is correct. You are limited to the number of songs in a songbook, but there is no limit to the number of songbooks you have. You can just make another songbook. (Pssst - I'll tell you a secret. After you make a new book, you can merge them to beat the "system". Don't tell anybody big_smile )

I download the ones I like and put them in DropBox, then sync that with OnSong on my iPad; I have around 1500 songs (not all from Chordie) - it saves having an internet connection everywhere and is quite portable.

Cheers

I am currently at 99 songs in my Songbook and it will not let me add any more. Is there a limit or have I run into the Jandle mysterious problem?

Welcome to the forums - I'm not an expert, but I believe 99 songs is the upper limit of a song book; you may want to add a new songbook, and add new songs to that.

Cheers

Neo the term you used is very offensive  to many. It is called ajaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp or juice harp.

Apologies - didn't mean to offend anyone - I'll edit my post.

Neo outstanding. For me it is a sad song that has an optimistic outlook while still been sad and yet still reflecting on good times, which makes me feel happy listening to it.
I enjoyed your video. playing and singing good to see and hear you back on your song writing horse.

Thanks, glad you liked it - I have a few unfinished songs I should put some chords to ...

Had a listen to all of them; as far as songs go, the third one (How can I resist) had the best balance and mix, although I did enjoy the Jaw Harp in the second song ...

That's incredible. how many members are still around who were here on month 1?

The wayback machine archive of Chordie from 2002 shows no forum, and no log in ...

https://web.archive.org/web/20021208055 … ie.com:80/

That's cool, the Forum shows up in 2005 and the "familiar" format and logo in 2006. There should be a few of us from about that time still hanging around, I was a little late as I jumped over here when OLGA folded their tents under legal pressure (for you old timers that remember OLGA).   smile

I have a backup of OLGA somewhere ....

I wanted to write a happy song, and even called it 'Happiness', but it ended up being a bit sad:

HappinessRichard Mortimer


Intro: G D C Em




[G]Happiness,[D] [C] you used to be my [Em]friend


We'd [C]sing and dance and [G]laugh out loud, [Em]until the day would [D]end




[G]Happiness,[D] [C] we'd always shared good[Em] times


S[C]mile and joke, [G]talk about folks and sp[Em]end not a single d[D]ime


[Am]Then you took [Gm]leave of me


On a[Dm] day I didn't [Am7@5]forsee


[Dm7]Took leave of me


[G]And I miss you, [E7]I wish you'd come [Am]back[Em7-5]


[G]Happiness, [D] [C]where did you go?[Em]


W[C]hy did you [G]leave so [Em]unexpected[D]ly



[G]Happiness, [D] [C]you're like a long lost [Em]friend


w[C]ho brings me a [G]smile, thinking about the [Em]old times we [D]had


[G]Some days I[D] see you, I [C]try to wave h[Em]ello


But [C]time goes by, and [G]so do I, and you [Em]lost your [D]glow


[Am]Then you took [Gm]leave of me


On a[Dm] day I didn't [Am7@5]forsee


[Dm7]Took leave of me


[G]And I miss you, [E7]I wish you'd come [Am]back[Em7-5]


[G]Happiness,[D] [C] you used to be my [Em]friend


We'd [C]sing and dance and [G]laugh out loud, [Em]until the day would [D]end


[G]Happiness, [D] [C]I know you'll be back one [Em]day


I[C] look forward to [G]telling you tales from [Em]when you [D]went [G]away
