I  really  like  the  progression   from B this  works  well but  I keep wanting  to add  a  D in this  next  bit  and  so on

[E]Surely [A]not the road to [B]riches

[E]Surely [A]not the road to[D] [B]riches

but  then  this  last line  would need  to  finish on B before returning  to the  B progression

E]Spend more time with [A]you heaven [D]sent

E]Spend more time with [A]you heaven [B]sent

I 'd  like  to  hear  you  play  it  Jeff .

sounds  a  bit like  the  gadget line 6  were giving away  with  there  amps  a  few  years  back .I  received  one  when I  bought  my  spider 75 never  used it  the  spider  has its  own built in looper but   I  still prefer  the  old  Boss  rc2 which  is  so  easy  to  use  .But  as  Doug says  DAW  soft  ware  is  out  there and  there are  many good  free  programs .Audacity  works  fine costs  nothing .

Thanks  Amy .Doug My  wife  who  is  a criminologist was  concerned some  folks  wouldn't  know  about  Lord  Lucan  but  it  is an interesting  story about  him Uk  tv did a  good docudrama  about  his  life  which  is well  worth  a look .

I do quite a lot of parties and barbeque entertainment for the Brit pack out here and even though it's quite low-key it takes a bit of effort .we do tend to make it a bit of an open Mic session so any one who wants to do a turn is welcome to get up and have a go but usually it's either Kev ,Brian or me who do the bulk .But it does encourage people to have a go,as its not as nerve racking as a real open Mic because it's just usually family and friends.
Any way back to whining my hand still hurts and is swollen ,Doug  can you recommend a good nurse we can hire along with the road crew?

I am knackered  this  morning  I'm getting  too  old for  this Greek  rock, last night  we played  nearly  5 hrs in our  set  to  a  fantastic  audience ,a packed venue lots of  enthusiastic  dancers and  the  camera  packed up  again .I  had  cramp in my  hand  during  3 songs  and leg  cramps  driving  home this morning .I don't  know  how these traditional  Greek  bands do it , we  st  up  at  6 30 pm sound  checked  started playing  at 9.30 finished  our  set  at  around  2 30 packed  the  gear away  and  got  home  at  4  this morning .I  think  I'm gonna  stick  to  festivals in future , you  go  ,plug in   play 1hr  un plug  and  come away  , Much easier ........No  wait  a minute  this  is  rock and  roll  ......long live  rock and  roll...
