Thanks dino yeah I do like the ovation its been great it stays in tune regardless of weather conditions .Ive played it in 40 degrees no problems .
I dont think it has the tone of my Eko or my Squier but for an everyday go to guitar its great.The bowl back can be awkward if you don't use a strap.

No problem to a name change .Chordiefest Chordiejam any others come to mind.
What views do we have about structure ,concert format where every one gets a slot of alocated time ,folk club format where we go round the group in turn and others join in or listen.Open mic format ,3 songs and your off.
Maybe a guest pro player if we can find one wiling

Settle gate way to the Yorkshire dales Norm but my thoughts would perhaps favour the Midlands for easy access to the motorways

I've just had a look at the Rascals song and lyrically there are some similarity's but maybe the same thing could be said about many blues songs using the same style of lyric .Though I do see what you mean Dino

to know you’d be there waiting
F G C
every time I'd come back into town.
Chorus
F G
Babe I’m like a falling star

I’m heading into darkness
F G
Burning like a beacon bright
Am
Then fade into the night
F G
Roaring like a hurricane
C
or the storm that does surround us
F G
Soaring like an aeroplane
Am
You always make me high
C
I've been wrong, I’ve been right
G
I might stay out late at night
F G C
but I'll always make my way back home
C
There’s a place that’s best for me
G
and that’s where I want to be
F G C
long as your there I wont ever roam
Chorus

Babe I’m like a falling star

Re: chordie stock uk maybe? (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
So basically we need to get this ball rolling .As I am in Crete until the beginning of 2015 somebody in the UK needs to source a venue.
Volunteers please.
Many of the hotel chains like premier inn ,holiday inn travel lodge, best western etc will have a function room available, probably free if we can guarantee booking a certain number of rooms, Same applies to private venues.
An event like this properly organised and presented will promote Chordie and be a lot of fun too.

How many UK Chordians would be up for Chordie stock UK if it became a reality.
As I will be in the UK for some time in the new year I thought maybe it would be a good idea if members can register their interest then we can see if it will be worthwhile organising.
Perhaps a midlands venue would be the best place central for every one.

Re: Treno Fantasma (6 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks Rich it certainly is fast and hard to keep up with .The song tells of a Ghost train and the journey some one is taking on it and how his life plays out like a wild west movie ,the literal translation is a bit hard to follow but I'm working on it .The original is by The Wooden Swords a greek rock band and its written by Pavlos Pavlides who does some pretty cool tunes .

Thanks Amy we are very enthusiastic about this venture but it has come at a strange time just after I had planned to go for an extended stay in the UK from December .We need to get some gigs before I have to leave then we can gauge the audience reaction .
