That's good news, but it sounds like he's got a ways to go. With morphine, hopefully he's at least sleeping well. Sleep heals much.

Sorry. I missed the message. I was out the door just minutes after the post above. I didn't have a guitar with me, and my eldest was exhausted because I got her out of bed at 6:45 to help me push the trailer out of storage to where I could get it hooked to my truck. It's on wheels, but 3000 lbs is 3000 lbs. I wanted help.

What a beauty. I'd not have the foggiest notion what to do with all those knobs and doodads, but it sure makes for a beautiful guitar. I hope you get many hours of joy from it.

I'm going to be in your neck of the woods today picking up my camper. If I had thought sooner we could have found a park somewhere and picked a few songs in the sun.

I did just buy an absolutely enormous bottle of bourbon today, so I am ready for Skypeing. Perhaps we should all get together and lackadaisically perform old stuff.

Father's Day weekend a few folks are getting together along the Potomac. I'm sure that I'll have a wings and beer kind of thing in the back yard sometime or other. Though looking at the calendar, just about every weekend is booked through the end of August. It's disgusting.

No more amnesty from the B chord for you. we can protest!
You can protest, but I'll send Russell more bass strings and we'll see who comes out on top. If the bass strings don't work, I'm shameless enough to ship cookies.
I've got a new project to work on. In addition to working out the rest of Devil's Right Hand, I'm going to work on a mash-up of Cherry Cherry and The Authority Song. That will challenge my timing on the strums! Still stuck in songs from the 70's it seems, but you know one thing at a time.

Topic: Someone tell me to practice!!! (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Only thing I've done of any merit whatsoever since coming back from Florida is to figure out the intro to Devil's Right Hand. I haven't run one scale. I haven't done one control exercise. I haven't even unpacked Tiny. She's still sitting there in the case wondering what she did wrong.
I've strummed out a few songs I know cold, just for comfort. But I haven't done one challenging thing. Because lets face it, three different D chords isn't too awful hard to figure.

Re: our role as artitists. (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I don't really think of myself. For a time, I gave up making music and I didn't like it. I got back to playing and joined a band. Call me a knucklehead or worse, but I just didn't have time for the various personalities - walking on eggshells all the time. So then I stated with guitar to make music without others. I still love playing with others when it's an organic, let's see what we can do, oh hey that sounds really cool! kind of thing. I think what that makes me is a middle aged desk jockey looking for a good clean fun way to blow off steam, and not a performer or artist or musician. If I could write a dang song or five, I might consider myself artistic or creative and having a role in the arts.

Re: our role as artitists. (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
If it's up to me, the role of an artist is to do what they feel is right, or what they enjoy. If I ever feel compelled to do a song a specific way or play a specific style because it is required, then it just became work. I don't feel much obligation to others. My playing and singing is for me, and if others get a kick out of it then that's great.

Around here, we use the description "Daddy's drinking on the porch swing again." It's a long word, but aptly describes most of my performances.

Black Tele, eh. Time for some country blues riffs, I think. Look up some Brad Paisely videos and stand back. After Chordiestock III, this one may be appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3zkkLckeyM
