Yes Peatle-   it happens to me all the time!

I will see something or hear some one say something that reverberates and it is like a
voice inside that sticks there until I write something about it.
For example the song I wrote Three Words, Eight Letters -  I  was in a little cafe having breakfast while waiting for my car to be repaired. This woman came in that I did not know, but I could tell she was distressed. She was a stunning middle aged gal, and as I sat there- the words to the song just kept coming to my head. I have no idea what really was the matter with her, but I just imagined a love story and fictionalized it in my head that I wanted to fall in love with her.

I use my phone a lot... instead of writing ideas on paper - I usually just text myself the idea.

Good topic my friend for those of us who like to write - I am interested to hear from everyone on this.

Thank you all.  To me it sounds really good.
Beamer - I wish you were here to thrash on it to really see what it can do.
It has Seymour Duncan SH1's - a.k.a.  Vintage Blues humbuckers.   They growl very nicely, but also play so smooth on the lower volume end

Thank you Graham and Neo!
Phill - yes they have a growl to them - it's going to take me a while to get used to them

Yes Peatle - pretty much why I build them - thinking maybe my kids and grandkids will appreciate them and remember me  smile
Thanks again guys for the positive feedback!

I quite agree with Peatle

I like the one " tried to call back but nobody's home    I'll just leave a message for the kids when they're grown " Thanks for sharing    Jim

I like the part where he brought the kids on stage.
Not my top choice of music to listen to - but he is a really good performer.

If you get to be like JJJ was - your wife would never had noticed !! smile
you can never have enough guitars -

Congrats on that pick up !!!

I believe you and Phill could pick up any guitar and make them sound sooooo sweet.  Every time I hear someone like you guys here on chordie play it reminds of the line from the Springsteen song  Thunder road - "Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk "
Sure wish I had he talent you folks have.

NGIB = New Guitar I Built

The trim is purple heart wood.
The cherry is from a tree in my back yard
The maple is from the gym floor they tore out of the school where I coach.

Sounds pretty good tome.

Grey Saturday - perfect description !
It could've been Grey November for me.
Today I have a funeral of a friend to attend  ( 4th one in November for me including my brother's)

the sky is Grey - weather forecast is 15" of Snow  starting tonight through Monday am.

However with that being said.....

I stood outside last night from 4:30 - 7:45 in 28 degree weather waiting for Santa's arrival , parade and visit to Santa's shop
with my Grandkids and family ( which BTW was totally worth it! ) After all of that my grandson who is almost 4 in the car on the way home says, "Mommy and Daddy what did you tell Santa that you wanted for Christmas ? "  It was so heart warming - makes you forget about the negative and realize that there is still so much good in our lives.
I am so grateful for my family and my friends- even the ones I've never met in person here on chordie


Phill

I have noticed the number of posts on here have dropped significantly. I guess everyone is busy,has other more important stuff going on, or for some reason is unable to post anymore. Whatever the case........ I miss the videos by Russell and the great songs by Mojo, the unbelievably cool insights of Strummerboy Bill, all the great songs and posts of our New Zealand Family - the golden voice of Jan, and the greatest stories and historical insights of Peatle ), JJJ's  interesting stories, Beamer's open heart songs and Metalized everything smile,Zurf's wildlife adventures and musical journey's,  Badeye's always good stuff, Roger G's terrific perspectives, UJB and BGD, Easybeat and Dirty Ed, NEO, CTECH, Doug, Jets60  and of course Mekidsmom (Amy).   My apologies if (and I know I must have)  I have left someone out !

Happy Holiday season to everyone and may your GREY SATURDAY's turn sunny ! smile

CG

This is absolutely fantastic !
What a find !
Ruthie has a great voice and the music is superb.
I urge all of you to check out the song Walk On that CG  listed above..... @ about 2:50 - check out her voice ---- I would challenge any of the pop stars of today to match it !  Great song at the Dallas Music festival.   She seems so down to Earth and just in love with playing music - terrific performer.
The song Lord Remember Me is one of the best blues / gospel songs I've ever heard- what passion and emotion in that performance.
Thanks for another incredulous Friday blues morning.
I really appreciate what you do !

Phill
I will play a couple of my songs for the seniors in my psychology class, but I don't share them to general population.
Your versions seem to be the most popular and the one Graham did called girlfriends.
They always want to know how I know a guy from Wales smile  !
I am pretty protective of my musical anonymity.
If I was a performer and could sing it I'm sure I would have a different perspective.

Great topic that has many angles.

I thought maybe Strummerboy Bill would write something on this one !!
Since  today is Thanksgiving in America today, I will take the opportunity to thank all my chordie friends for their friendship, kindness, support and generosity over the past few years.  It is a wonderful group of people here. 
Best wishes to you as we enter the holiday season - I hope you and Ann have a safe, healthy, and enjoyable one.

as you all know, I am not a musician, but I do go on stage quite a few times as a high school coach.
I find it very similar - all the accolades from fans and friends after games - and then the reality of getting up to teach the next morning or going out to shovel snow, mowing the grass or picking up the dog poop in the yard !  ( I wonder if McCartney or Jagger ever had to do that ? smile  )
It's still a great ride and I wouldn't trade it  away. I'm just thankful for the opportunity.

I would love to play a gig sometime - only thing I'm lacking is good guitar playing and a singing voice.  Until that happens, I'll just listen to all my friends on chordie !!

This was an old song that I had written.... I  re-wrote it  by changing the lyrics and the chords - Gave it a new title.
Hope you Like it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Americans on here !  smile

A Memory Lost In A Song by Jim Kenyon



Verse 1




[G]There was a time that I called you


There was a time that I called you [C] mine


Not a day passes by when you're [G] nobody special


Woman [D] don't you know, you were [C]always on my [G] mind




.


Verse 2




[G]There was a time when I held you


There was a time I held you all night [C] long


never more than a moment a[G]way from my heart


but now it's [D] only a memory that's [C]lost in a [G] song




.


chorus


[C]I miss you a little too much, and a lot too [G] often


[C] Seems my heart has found a million [G] ways


[C] I wonder how you are, do you miss me at[G] all ?



oh I [D] just can't let [C] go of all our yester[G]days




.


Verse 3




[G]There was a time when I loved


There was a time when I loved how you made me [C] feel


I can close my eyes to what I [G]don't want to see


but it[D] seems that some [C]hurts just never [G] heal




.


chorus




[C]I miss you a little too much, and a lot too [G] often


[C] Seems my heart has founda million [G] ways


[C] I wonder how you are, do you miss me at[G] all ?


oh I [D] just can't let [C] go of all our yester[G]days.


oh I [D] just can't let go [C]of all our yester[G]days


oh I [D] just can't let go [C]of all our yester[G]days
