This problem has showed up before if I recall, and usually due to an expired certificate or cookie. Clearing all your browser histories and cookies, then navigating to Chordie and doing a regular login should let you wander around your song book and make the changes you want. If you look around this forum you should find some comments related and the full story of how to clean it up. ![]()

I'm pretty sure that you can have more than one book as a member, and usually all of them should be accessible from your primary log-on username and password. It would be unusual to have set a different username for each book. If you did so, then you would have to send a password reset request for the account you cannot currently access and I would sure try that. ![]()
I'm all packed too !! But I'm not going as far as New York..... might stop by the John Day for a bit though (will be over that way and include it for the benefit of DE). Thinking about wetting a line, most likely in one of the lakes (or a couple) Kokanee limit is FIVE per day and that's more Phish than anyone can put away in a single meal You folks all have a good time and Travel Safe. ![]()
I usually just use the print option displayed on the song page rather than the print function on my computer. The one here on Chordie usually just spools the content only, not the whole displayed page frame, and I never get the headers or ads in my printed copies. See if that works for you and let us know exactly what you did so we can better figure out if and where there might be a problem to be fixed. Thanks
Personally, I would not do business with anyone who advertises via a Spam contractor. It may be the cheapest advertising medium on the Internet, but if you think that it is a good use of your advertising dollar......... you SURE aren't getting any of mine to spend on it !!
Google Business Listings are FREE, and you would get a whole lot better exposure, traffic and commerce by doing that, and spending your $$ on training your employees to give good Customer Service. Happy Customers that talk about it do a whole lot more for your "bottom line" than the damage done by annoying folks by flooding their "in-boxes" with Spam and drivel. ![]()
And because you asked (or not), in another life I was a Marketing Consultant...... for a while anyway. ;D
Sorry you had such bad luck, and that you had to bag your Oregon trip. The Summer is turning into a hot one 104.5 on my back porch just the other day and we are on the "cool" side of the Cascades. Headin over to the other side in a day or so for a week of consulting and am sure hoping that the trend towards cooler persists. Generators and campfires are seriously curtailed, so you might have had to eat your Bass raw or sun dried...... YUM !!
On a brighter note, at least your guitar is easily repairable and not on the bottom of the river. ![]()
Phill, my stuff is also on Vinyl...... and I had a habit of recording everything onto tape (to save wear and tear on the record). We would wash the Vinyls and then if there were still skips, we'd tape a couple of pennies (the smallest US denomination of coin) above the stylus to add weight. Because you asked, there is software that can reduce the "noise" in your recordings..... the skips you have to manipulate "manually" and edit/trim from the track. ![]()
The last electric I built got a Bigsby running over a Shaller roller bridge. That worked really well and was also surface mounted (& gold plated), with locking tuners there were no tuning issues.
Hang in there TF, with our current economic policies, in a few months you will be able to buy whatever you want for about $35 CDN...... and we'll be payin' something like $8,000 USD for a new Cell-phone. ![]()
I e-mailed Bill, and he is working on archiving his music collection from cassette to digital media. That is a time consuming task (at best)..... load, press play, press record, press stop X2, flip cassette, and repeat as required...... for many MANY hours ! ![]()
At least you can do it with the air conditioner running. "How I spent my Summer Vacation...." ![]()
Many times Pandora will just be on kind of in the background. Smooth jazz mostly, and i do pay attention to the music, but not for hours on end. i dust off my strings at least once or twice a day, run some scales and fingerpick a few just to keep the fingers limbered and the calluses. Practice time can get up into two/three hours unless I have a busy schedule.
Now the weather is getting nicer, we go out into the back porch and run through a setlist just in case Steve calls for me to sit in on a gig with short notice. The we I refer to is my Lab, Guitar, and me..... one of which is not too critical. ![]()
All our Friends and Neighbors (slightly) Northward.... You have a Good Day and I'll toss back a couple of brews in your honour too !!! ![]()
That is a bonus !! T C Helicon makes some really good stuff, I have one of the Harmony G pedals and once you get the hang of setting it up and setting your preferences it does a fine job of doing what it was designed to do. Not getting as much use, so I have to go to the manual every time it seems, but documentation is good and like most things, there are lots of youtube videos to guide you through the rough patches. I'm curious about the mic mechanic, so will have to wander out there and see what they are like. Thanks for the info and be sure to let us know how you are getting along with it once it arrives. ![]()
These banterings remind me that as we spread out, the other critters that share our ground lose space...... proximity leads to "accidents", and then ...... the results are seldom pretty.
Those of us who spend (or have spent) considerable time out there on the edge of what's left of the "wilderness" accumulate these sometimes humorous stories. We sometimes get complacent about those other creatures, and I do forget to be as watchful as I should be at times. I got a Cougar that wanders through my back yard once in awhile, and I've seen her a couple of times. Mostly I just see tracks...... and that's when I am thankful the dog stays nights indoors, the kids are grown and moved away, I always face away from the lights and house when pickin' guitar on the back porch late in the evening, and we are still allowed to buy ammunition.
Being able to share the space, walk the trails, float the streams, and appreciate what we have and where we are, makes one ponder why we invented cities??? Nothin' against people..... odds of surviving in either place is about even, it's just quieter here. Now if I could get those darn tree frogs to shut-up, i could go to bed !! ![]()
Good advice from Classical Guitar. Here is a link to another source for information on everything Cello; https://www.johnsonstring.com/cellos-facts
There are a lot of variables to consider whenever you are shopping for an instrument, and research is the key to making an informed decision before you invest.
If you can, play before you pay, as quality instruments are individuals like people, and some you will get along with better than others. The one that is right for you will let you know in short order, and you will be friends for along time. ![]()
OK..... Luck !! You do know it is all a matter of practice and technique (healthy doses of both), and don't get too frustrated if it does not go as smoothly as expected. There is always at least one musical phrase that just seems to want to hang you up..... at least that is the way it goes for me most times. ![]()
BTW, Welcome tp Chordie !!! ![]()
Thankfully, unlike some of the other adventures I've been on, bears are a rarity.
DE
Oh there are Bears too..... Somewhere I have a video of one that wandered into the campground, sauntered up to some folks sitting at a picnic table and absconded with one of those really big Hershey Bars. Then it ran across the road and crawled under another vacant table where it daintily peeled the wrapper off with it's claws and munched the whole thing down while a crowd of campers (cameras in hand) gathered to preserve the moment in memory. Once it got too crowded, the critter come up out of there at a full run scatterin' kids, and dogs, and panicked city folks like the running of the Bulls in Spain !! It was funny because (thankfully) nobody got run over and the general course of conversation all around the area centered on "the best way to winch your cooler of food 10 feet in the air and at least the same distance from any tree". Over on that side of the hill, trees are a little further apart than here on the Western slopes..... If you'd had a truck-full of rope, you coulda' sold every inch to good profit !! You wont usually see Bear because they know where you are and where you are going long before you know, just from smell. They'll avoid you mostly unless you advertise free yummy munchies, and leave them laying around. Or camp in established camps where they get used to being fed by tourists, or via unsecured dumpsters.
Cats are another matter..... you rarely see them, but they always have "eyes" on you. Safety in numbers. ![]()
Almost forgot to add : put some shotshells in yer' sidearm...... there be snakes that also can bite. Nothin' like waking up to the sound of rattlers that crawled under the floor of your tent during the night lookin' for a warm place to curl up. They tend to object if you lean on 'em while rolling out of the sack early in the morning. Yeah it only happened once..... but it still gets the old heart a thumpin" !!
That's just a few weeks away.... and the John Day stays well up into mid-August most years. We are still getting a little rain now and then so you should be in good shape for a float.
It is getting hot during the day (in the mid 90s this week) and over on my side of the Mountain the micro-hydro plant shut down the other day for lack of water. It'll be down into September and gives us a chance to catch up on a few chores up there.
Fishin should be good and there are some nice fish in those waters !! Wear your sunscreen, bug juice, and stay hydrated...... don't forget to bring your camera and batteries, some pretty country out here.
The skeeters are blood-thirsty just like at home though! Deer flies are the worst..... got bit right through the back pocket of my Levis. That's TWO layers of denim and my "fruit of the Looms". ![]()
What stretch you gonna be on ??
Come to think of it, I know that guy and you could say we are friends...... we look kinda alike...... but he's the one who got all the talent musically. ![]()
ETA: We met up in Portland at the Handmade Musical Instrument Show. I found him lurking in one of the halls just off the main showroom running through a couple of tunes he was performing onstage during the event, and we had a short nice conversation. The stage performance was top notch by everyone who demonstrated instruments off the showroom floor. Doug is a genuinely personable guy (a couple of inches taller than me) but we have similar backgrounds, and I actually felt hat he would be the kind of person that would fit right in here in Chordieland. Now if I could just figure out a way to get him to attend one of the Annual Chordie Functions........
Just 20 minutes of up close observation of Doug's skills and technique was for me an educational and enlightening experience. Inspirational..... but waaaay above my level !!!
Jus' been lurking and doing that moderator thing. Tis Summer around these parts and there's plenty of chores to attend to. Thankful the livestock is a thing of the past..... not so much the kids etc. the 4 legged ones. Not missing the horses and other critters, but there were times I had wished I hadn't taken all those Vet Med courses. Shots, drenching, hoof-trimming and such.
I'll drop you a mail and tell you all about it soon !!
Planning to spray the orchard this weekend and still have a couple of acres to mow while it's not raining but before things dry out too much as to be a fire hazard.
Even retired Farmers have a full time job. ![]()
That is a good one there Bill !! Those fellows were talented musicians, and it shows in their performance. It also shows that they weren't limited to the particular genre they were "famous" for..... not all electric guitars and reverb.
I'm a Marine (there is no such thing as a "former Marine").... anyway, back when the kids were little we started a tradition of going to the local Veteran's Cemetery and doing a little "housekeeping" on the markers in the older section. Many of the monuments there are from the Civil War,and it always seemed fitting for Memorial Day to tend to that chore as a matter of respect. I know it seems odd that we should have Civil War burials way out here in Oregon..... but sides were taken everywhere, and there were losses on both sides, even out here on the edge of civilization.
I usually wear a cover that shows my affiliation ie: service, and yes there are usually a couple of those "Thank You for Your Service" comments. Like Bill I usually just say something like Thank You back. On Memorial day, I change that to "Thank You for remembering those folks who gave it all". Then we go about placing flowers on the graves of those we knew, and as a last gesture I float a wreath down the River to honor the friends and comrades who never made it back at all......
Semper Fi
Done !! My Friend. ![]()
