It is true, life is short and the road long. For some the road seems endless. Well done.

Re: "That's What Us Redneck Cowboys Do" (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Ok folks, since we are on the subject of Hillbillies and Rednecks. May as well throw in Kikkers. Redneck kikker is just another way of saying Redneck cowboy, but most likely living in Texas. Don't worry Old Doll, you didn't put me on the spot. I was just laughing so hard I couldn't write. I posted a new Ballad that might help? "If ya wanna be a redneck kikker like me". That is just about what you can expect from a real redneck. I should know, I know quite a few of them. How do you think I got the ideas for my songs. lol, "From the rednecks themselves"!!! You would be supprised at how much of what is in these Ballads is true. Also, you might find it interesting? "Most rednecks are taught to be musicians from early childhood". Many play more than one insturment. About all of them play guitar. And they are very good at what they do!!! No matter what it is. Their biggest problem is usually that they have (SSD) "Social Skills Disorder" lol. Gotta love their music though.

If Ya Wanna Be A Redneck Kikker Like MeBallad by Wayne Fiala
Entire song is spoken except where the chords are
[G]So, ya [D]wanna be a Redneck Kikker like [G]me?Well, the first thing you need is, a High-Rise,
Jacked-Up, Pick-Up-Truck, with a grill on the front, and the color's gotta be, Red, Black,
Green, or Blue. Ya gotta have a duel exhaust, that's really loud, or the girls won't notice
you. It's gotta be a Four Wheel Drive, with Lockin Hubs, over size tires, and equiped with
lots-a extra lights, so the yuppies can see ya real good at night. Now ya gotta have a
Kick-Ass Stereo, with Extra Large Speekers, so they can here ya anywhere in the County,
when your "jamin it" late at night. And, a must have, is a Over Size Consol, to hold your
collection of Country CD's. And it's gotta have a little cushion, so your girl can sit real close,
that is if ya want her to be pleased. Now, that's the way it's gotta be;
[G]If ya [D]wanna be a redneck kikker like [G]me!
Now ya got your Redneck Kikker Truck, it's ready to go. But ya better leave it at home,
your not quite ready yet. Ya cain't drive that truck lookin like that. Now, we're gonna
concentrate on you. We gotta get you some Redneck Kikker Clothes. So, we'll start off
with your baseball cap. It should be just a little dirty, with a tracter or a deer emblem
on the front. Then some faded blue jeans, and a button up shirt, with only one button.
Under it is a slightly worn, little bit faded black T-Shirt. And, some round toe, low heel,
brown kikker boots, or steel toe lace up, construction worker boots will do. Now you've
got your kikker clothes, for everyone to see, And, that's the way it's gotta be;
[G]If ya [D]wanna be a redneck kikker like [G]me!
Now, here's the next thing ya gotta do. learn to drink a lot and hold your liquor. That's
the trade-mark of a real redneck kikker. And, about the last thing a redneck kikker girl
wants, is a drunk on his ass, puckin sick, half passed-out, wanna-be, redneck kikker.
So, ya better get real good at drinkin that liquor; Cause, that's the way it's gotta be;
[G]If ya [D]wanna be a redneck kikker like [G]me!
Now, you're almost there. There's only one thing left to do. Ya gotta find a cop that's willin to
arrest you, and throw your wanna-be, redneck kikker, butt in jail. Yep, that's what ya gotta do.
Now, that might sound plum crazy, But, if ya wanna impress the ladies, ya gotta suck it up,
and do what ya gotta do. Cause, that's where you're gonna get your, one-of-a-kind, genuine,
redneck kikker style, jail house tatoo. And, that's the way it's gotta be;
[G]If ya [D]wanna be a redneck kikker like [G]me!
Well, it's graduation day. Congratulations! You're now a member of the largest non-payin vocation,
in the Nation. Now I hope you're happy. Sometimes bein a redneck kikker can be a little crappy.
Get used to bein broke. Learn to roll your own smoke. And, to keep the cops happy, this ain't no joke,
put your beer in a can that says Coke. Have yourself a real nice day! And that's the way it's gotta be;
[G]If ya [D]wanna be a redneck kikker like [G]me.

Good for you Jody. You are doing a lot better than me. I don't have any videos out. I am going to have to work harder at learning how to do it. Good one.
Thank you very much Benson. I tell ya, that was frustrating. Took me about twelve hours of pushing wrong buttons, deleting files, starting over, etc. to get this video up. I still don't remember half of what I did. I think I can get another one going in half that time now though. lol "I do have a suggestion for you" Don't buy an expensive camcorder! Pain in the butt, having to convert files, etc. Buy one of the cameras that are made especially for making vidio for YouTube, MySpace etc. A lot cheeper and simple to use. I just might buy one and save myself a bunch of extra work. I think that's what I'm gonna do. I would love to hear some of your work. I have been listening to a lot of the other forum members songs and I am impressed. Thanks again sir. Good to hear from you. jodyWayne

The chord progression doesn't have to be perfect. I just put them in for an example.
I can assure you I have never played it the same way twice.
The entire song is spoken, except for the chorus: "That's what us redneck cowboys do"
This is one you can use your imagination, and do it your own way if you wish.
People like it, so enjoy, have fun. jodyWayne

Hi Phill, Good to hear from you. I hope all is well. I'm happy you like this song, and thank you sir. Unfortunnately, the best I can do is a solo guitar vidio. This should give those interested a good idea of the melody though. I have no long term expierence at this. I am still learning basic guitar. And, I only attempt singing. I hope to complete my very first vidio in the next few days. I will let everyone know when the vidio is up and running. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!
I took a look at some of your music. So far "Do It All Again" is my favorite. I can only wish my music would sound that good. You should be on TV. Until next time, take care sir, jodyWayne
