Welcome to Chordie. I am the hoarder of the group. It is before your time here. I also used to own the most famous bread machine in the world.

E-Chords.com can give you songs in different keys. You do have to be a member to use that option.

There are all kinds of Facebook pages devoted to abandoned buildings. Try some of them.

So first we had JJJ with his famous Bread Machine (R.I.P.), and now The Alien Moderator has a sewing machine? lol Seriously though, it sounds like it could be a fun hobby, and a sewing machine won't wake the neighbors at night. Pics please!

I didn`t think the bread machine was still relevant

Try printing in Black & White instead of colour.

Congrats on a great find, JJJ ... you've got yourself a real sparkler there. Here's a generic pic from online, in case anyone hasn't seen one. It also comes in a smaller Parlour size ... which one did you get?

I have the smaller White Penguin. Parlour size. I do have a Rancher Black Falcon. It`s big.

Picture on FB. This time it is a Gretsch White Penguin Acoustic. Parlour Size. All the glitter and flash of a White Falcon. I couldn`t help myself, I sold my Martin and a small amp to get it. An amp I never used. I doubled my money on the Martin.  Note-- I was a bad boy. It won`t be on my regular FB page. At least for 30 days.

Chris is my biggest audience. As my playing gets worse and worse, she doesn`t let me stop. She keeps encouraging me.

It`s supposed to snow tomorrow. Not a lot. It`s not the amount. It`s just the idea. This is April and we are getting snow after a fairly warm winter.

.  I think I’ll have a bracelet made to wear when I go that says “ What would JJJ do?”
What would JJJ do?? I think everyone knows the answer to that one. Lol.

You should exercise self control when you go to a music store.

I`m trying to find the chords for One More Time Around Rosie by Manhattan Transfer and Gene Pistilli. I have an idea with C- Fmaj7 and D. Something isn`t quite right. Any help is appreciated.

From what I read, there is a lot more to Gibson than guitars. It is their non musical interests that are causing the problem. Home electronics. Onkyo, TEAC and Cerwin Vega are owned by Gibson. Along with Philips Home Entertainment and Maybe Pioneer which is part of Onkyo. Guitar sales are still strong.  The fact that their guitars are expensive and out of reach for a lot of players doesn`t help matters.  My opinion is that they should have had an import line with the Gibson name a long time ago. Much like MIM Fenders and Martins. Their guitar sales are still strong. It is home electronics that are leading to their downfall.

they have the import line, the EPI line.  Now with the home electronics, its a fierce competition.  and most of it is with cheap crap.  I ahve wanted to rebuild a nice component system.  its almost impossible.  because to find the good quality of what was a middle of the road integrated amp like I had as a kid, your paying a lot of scratch for.

And I mentiond on FB not to long ago, my neighbor just bought a 1400 reissue LP.  And I got to tell ya, my Tradition I paid 250 for is a much easier guitar to play. (and sounds better!)

EPI is the import line. An import line with the actual Gibson name is what I am talking about.

A friend of mine has the exact one. It is a great guitar. Congratulations on your NGD.

Look for a good used acoustic. Yamaha  and Ibanez have some good ones. If you were in this area, I could set you up.

I hope there are no videos of me. Due to health issues, my playing is getting worse and worse.  I still do play though. As long as I can still play, I will.

I may end up a solo act after this trip. Lol. A looooong ride ahead. You may find this hard to believe. There are some people that find me to be kind of irritating.
