I'm committed all day on Sunday earning an archery coach certification.  You're close enough that I could come up Friday and part of Saturday.

Appalachians have some interesting phrases, though it's not foreign to America. 

"Red up" means to tidy an area.
"I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw a bull by the tail."
"Mad enough to spit cotton."
"If it was a snake, it'd have bitten you."
When something is common, "You can't swing a dead cat without hitting" it. 
Dead cats come in to play when being innovative too, "There's more than one way to skin a cat."  I hope it's dead anyway.

I've played Topdown's CA and was impressed by it. Excellent bass response. Also, when you amplify them, it's very much a WYSIWIG situation.  They sound more acoustic-y than many wooden acoustics, I think because there's a great deal more control in the production process.

As for crisis of confidence, I understand that.  I've written several songs that I put a lot of effort into but just couldn't bring myself to play or like.  They weren't "good enough."  I kind of wish our Songwriting section was better at critique, though I like that it's so strong on encouragement.  I haven't felt that I can put up a song there and get an accurate read on what could be improved with it, even when I know there's something wrong with it. 

Two songs I've written, but have been lost to the paper shuffle in my office are in that boat.  One is about my father-in-law and is titled "I'll Be Fine," and the other other is about a broken down bull rider I knew who had a good heart but did a lot of bad things all stemming from his upbringing in which he never had the chance to learn right from wrong.  He drank himself to death ten or so years ago.  He's one of those guys where you have to believe that if God has any mercy at all, he'll have been brought home and made whole.  Anyway, that one is called "A Bottle Of Friday Night." 

I've never performed them, and only shared them with Dirty Ed because I'm confident he'll give honest but still encouraging feedback.  Neither is up to snuff, and both have been more or less lost and will need to be rewritten at this point.

I'm glad you've got your wheels back under you.  Stay on the good foot.

I use flat wounds on my fretless bass, but have never tried them on a guitar. thanks for the tip.

Lonnie Donegan - Probably the only guy to have a grammy winning song that is very popular campfire fodder.  Hard to imagine how many campfires "Battle of New Orleans" has been played around.  My brother and I used to listen to "Chewing Gum" when we were knee high to grasshoppers.

It's on the bucket list.

I've got the PA.  Just need some talent.

I can't handle that level of responsibility.

I may still give you a call and see how things are going.  If you don't answer, I'll assume they're going loud.  :-)

Wishing I could be there.

Being as that's the first post, shouldn't be it "Hello?" 

Also, without the ads, it wouldn't be goodbye Irish1, but goodbye Chordie.  The ads are all along the side edge, and there are no video ads with sound the way there are on other sites (especially UG).  The sound and video are bandwidth hogs, and having sound play over me when I'm trying to learn a new song is just frustrating. 

So, this idea that ads are bad is going to leave Irish1 rather disappointed.  Every site with decent features is either a pay site or has ads.

I think Joey and I have the same stylist.  Mother Nature.
