Another attempt at the Gordon Lightfoot song "If you could read my mind" - last month I was trying a new mic and it made my bad voice sound even badera, so trying again:

Well done; I always found solo gigs more stressful than band gigs, as when you're solo there's no-one else to mess up smile

Good work and look forward to hearing some more tunes!!

Cheers

In Australia we celebrate it in September; however we did have the birthday party for both my boys at the train museum ... tired now!!

But happy fathers day to those who _did_ celebrate it ...

No dramas! I'm glad you posted, as I ordered a chord wheel a few weeks ago from that site, and you prompted me that I haven't received it yet!! smile

APRA takes care of a lot of this for Australians: http://apraamcos.com.au/about-us/what-we-do/

I was receiving a cheque (back in the days of cheques!!) about once a month for $50 or so, from playing gigs and songs broadcast on the radio, and had my APRA membership up on the wall ... if I updated my address in their database, I'd probably get a cheque for 10c today wink

Cheers for the history lesson, though!!

Thank you Bill for thinking about me. I am doing good but get a bit frustrated as I no longer have the full range of movement in my arms and hands which restricts my playing nowdays.

Good to hear from you ... !! Hoping you can pop by and add some more words of wisdom from the land of the long white cloud ... !!

Cheers

It's possible his wife is ... she is a vocalist for the (only?) North Korean pop group ...

Thanks, guys ...

Nice to know I'm in such esteemed company! lol Seriously though, it's actually quite enjoyable to learn little things like this regularly ... it's all a part of what keeps life interesting.

Wait until you get the chance to change the strings on a Floyd Rose tremolo - that's always a fun experience!! smile

Do you have or use any of the products you showed?  Which one?

I've got two of these controllers:

Bass with GK-3B attached (although here it's running into a wireless then into the Line6 into the amp):

And a pic of my mate's kid playing the PRS controller:

Same guitar, but running as a guitar, not synth controller, when I was testing out a KLd tube amp:

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1379692_10153346280015514_1867665588_n.jpg?oh=888f0379e4c6a6a0454c56ad0a88d120&oe=5AB0DF17

Somewhere I have some *really* old photos of the GR system up on stage - on an old 110 film camera, but it was big and bulky and it only make it to a couple of gigs ... the controller is a nice guitar, but heavy and a bit awkward to play ... I'll see if I can find the pics at home ...

Looks like the links to these photos are gone; here they are on another site ...

Wow! Sooo much talent! I never realized you have such a long history with music, my friend!  I couldn't find it on Amazon, but sure would like to have my own copy. Can you give me a website on which it may be ordered (just shoot me a mail)? I would like to add it to my "The Chordians' Greatest Hits" if possible..

Mail incoming ... !!

Yep, I had the same experience with my PRS SE Torero ... it takes a while to kick the habit of leaving it plugged in!!
