Re: HEARING Protection (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Clapton !!!!
He is deaf now !
My hearing is impeded - patrly an inherited thing as most of family has the same thing - but I certainly should have worn ear protection around all the power machinery I used in my shop over the years ( I do now - but it's a bit late! 
)
I would appreciate it if my fellow chordians would type a little louder in the future !

Re: Prog Rock Wednesdays (580 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
That was interesting - good music - lyrics had several twists to them.
Good stuff - reminds me a bit of Genesis.
A question - why does the keyboard player have two keyboards - some bands have even more. Are they in different keys of have different sounds or something?

Re: Stormy Skies (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
That is really,really good !!
It reminds me of something that maybe Tears For Fears, Kraftwerk, Moody Blues or Eurythmics might play. ( Give Annie Lenox a call to sing your lyrics!)
WELL DONE CTECH !!!

Way to rip it - I wish I could do as such!
I agree with Keep It Real - I got the Who twinge as well when listening.

Re: Nkd (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Congratulations to you and your wife Joe !! This is an awesome blessing.
When I first look at your post and saw NKD I thought to myself - what the heck is the K for? I was trying to think of something associated with guitars and said to my self - I might s well check it out b/c the only thing I can think of is a new KID Day - and lo and behold I was right !!!
Wonderful times - I think, despite all the trials and tribulations, it really is the best time of my life - when my kids were living in my home.
I now enjoy my grand kids as well, but still miss those years and wish I could have a do over.
Here is a video I put together on the song I posted earlier on Chordie. https://youtu.be/LV_ZRlMnoFU
Congats again Joe !

Topic: Unique Instrument (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hahahaha
I was just trolling youtube for interesting songs....
These guys from Sydney, Australia have a guitar on the wall that is way cool. They play the Uke (that has the bent neck as was discussed in another thread) , Mandolin, and one heck of a cool looking bass that I have never seen before.
The wall behind them has violins, banjo and another Mando.
Looks and sounds like they had a lot of fun playing this parody song - and of course the beer on the shelf is an add-on.
I would've liked to played in that session.
Does anyone know what that bass is called ? I think he said it in the intro - but I can't catch the name.

This girl has unbelievable passion for the blues -it's like she is living and feeling every note. The fact that she is a left handed guitarist made it interesting- as well as the great aesthetics - you' ll see what I mean when you watch it !
The kid in the guitar shop - that is like a one person flash mob ! Good stuff brother - keep'em coming!!

Re: Tuesday's Flying Fingers (474 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Yes, I agree - very talented
That title still has me puzzled however - and on that "note" - for all of you musicians - especially you CG ---
if a musical piece has no lyrics - how does one come up with a title ?
Good music - thanks for sharing ?
