A BIG, BIG thank you to Jeff for his hospitality.

Fantastic meeting, playing with and listening to everyone there; great to meet face to face people who I have known for years and never met and to also meet some I had only heard of (the incredible Roscoe to name but one).

Voice still a little husky from all the singing. Jeff's neighbour, Georgia, is a very demanding woman. She got me out of bed to sing a lullaby to her daughter and the following day dragged me to her house to sing a couple of love songs to her mum. (I enjoyed every minute of it, really).

I have just got home after being on the go for nearly 30 hours apart from some very disturbed and uncomfortable naps whilst flying, but, my goodness it was worth it.

Started saving for next years Chordiestock smile.

Roger.

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Toney Hall at Jimmy Guana's. I have known Toney for about 10 years on Chordie and have wanted to see him perform. It has taken 10 years but the wait has been worth it. Not only is he an extremely talented and accomplished artiste he is a great guy to boot and has a lovely wife and two wonderful children.

Here is a video of him: http://youtu.be/FMpyDEuVGeM

Hi there Roy (I think) and welcome  the forum,

I assume you mean the size options with each song, the three green A's, if so, they do not give you just three font size options.

The smaller one, on the left, will make the print smaller each time you click it.

The centre one reverts to the default size.

The largest one, on the right, will make the print larger each time you click it.

I hope that clears it up for you, or if I have misunderstood your query please let me know.

I find your question rather odd. You are already signed in, you could not have posted your message without being signed in, so you should have no problem accessing your Songbooks or any of the songs listed.

Difficulty in changing your password, if you do not remember the original one, is understandable and a different issue. I can help you out with that if you write privately to me, as that information does not need to be made public.

If I have misunderstood your query please explain.

I read your first comment and was admiring your handywork thinking to myself 'those speaker look different ????'.

I now understand why. Something I had never thought of, different speakers to compliment each other, and improve the audio response. Great advise from your suppliers.

Did Roger just offer to be the "designated driver"?  Always a good idea when there's a party with "adult beverages"...... but he should be warned that we drive on the "right" side of the road here, and everyone drives like they are the only ones out there.  Arrogant, agressive, reckless, and pretty much like they are running from the law!

Doug, you forget that I have lived in Portugal for the last 10 years so I am more used to driving on the wrong side of the road than the 'correct' English side. smile Also, although face to face, the Portuguese are the friendliest most welcoming nation of people ever, when they get behind the steering wheel of a car they become psychotic.

Jeff I hate to tell you but I am a boring drinker! Bottled water and CocaCola (full sugar, not low cal or zero) are my usual tipple. I will have an occasional bottle of beer but I am one of those who are extremely sensitive to alcohol and a small amount can make me very ill, so I take little.

Many congratulations to Joe (Baldguitardude) and his long suffering better half, Kim (who, incidentally did most of the work in composing their new work of art).

I wish you both well and a long, happy and healthy life for your new little girl, who I believe is to be called Ella.

My flight leaves from Faro, a stop over at Gatwick then direct to Tampa. I am flying with B.A.

I use Audacity. It can alter tempo and alter pitch. You can record with it and add effects, best of all it is free. smile

One of my long time students (and surrogate granddaughter smile) turned 20 in January so I recorded the 1960 Craig Douglas song for her, I am a bit late in doing it as I had 'flu then a cold and hence problems singing.

On a plus side for Roger and Zurf - looks like there will be beds available for you instead of a tent!

Copied from my post in About Chordie:

Per has made a change which seems to have cleared this little problem however you will have to hold your 'shift' button and press the 'refresh' (the circular arrow at the end of the address box) to ensure that works. It has certainly worked for me.

Please post if you are still having difficulties.

Thanks Joe but I am a PC guy and cannot get on with Apple/Mac. smile

I have seen most of your videos Russ and you get some great results. I thought that the software you used would be far more expensive so I will look into that.

Just an addition to Doug's comment; Ernie Ball certainly produce a ball end classical guitar string (I know we sell them smile ) and I guess there are other makers that do too.
