Since owning guitars are somewhat of a passion here, I came across this - he is a favorite of mine.
Maybe some of you also have found players with great collections you would also want to shre ( or even your own.

Nora is a terrific musician
She can cover just about any song, any genre - make it a jazzy sounding hit.
Warm music on an extremely cold morning here in upstate New York !
Thanks for sharing.

Topic: Christmas Love (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Easybeat got me thinking about how Christmas might not be such a great holiday for some people and that a little kindness, understanding and help might very important to them rather than a present under the tree.
anyway here is the song I wrote - probably needs a lot of fine tuning.

Re: Living With The Voice Inside (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
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.

Re: NGIB (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
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 ![]()
Thanks again guys for the positive feedback!

If you get to be like JJJ was - your wife would never had noticed !! ![]()
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.
