Sorry Grah1 ... I that link still didn't work for me. It just keeps on reading "Sorry this contact isn`t available right now". Maybe somebody else could try to see if they can hear Grah1 on that FB link? Especially someone that hasn't got Grah1 as a FB friend, as that may possibly be the reason I can`t access it ? Anyway, can some one else try to see if they can access it and let us know, thanks.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: MAY 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH (29 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Gidday Jandle
many of the songs suggested are of a similar type.
so i`m thinking lets rattle the cage & do a Bee Gees disco song.
Now calm down, maybe settle for one of the great songs ever.
`To Love Somebody`
Hi easybeat, now that song would have been a great suggestion when we were looking for 60`s and 80`s songs as that song was written and recorded in 1967 and re-released in 1980
but we are now looking for songs from the 70`s and 90`s era`s. Got some song suggestions for those era`s?

Re: APRIL 2017 FSOTM - THE WEIGHT - JACK AND DIANE (52 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow, I just spent the afternoon listening to everyone`s covers after being away again for the last couple of weeks, so it took me awhile to get through them all.
Firstly ... fantastic effort everyone for having a go at these covers .... just brillant ![]()
Secondly .... the effort by everyone has been fantastic! I can honestly say each and every cover by everyone was great, the talent on here in Chordie is amazing! I enjoyed listening to them all, my foot tapping along to each, trying not to sing along so that i could actually listen to you all singing (but because you all sang your versions so good it was hard not to sing along with you all). Loved the different styles, different voices, harmonica`s on some, wow!!! Felt like i was cheering each and everyone of you on!
Thirdly .... 'The Weight' seems to have been the most popular song to perform by most of you .... with 'Jack and Diane' only being done by BGD. Any other takers on this song before the end of the month? Would love to hear more people have a go at this song ![]()
Finally ...... I left you all comments on Sound Cloud ![]()

Re: Best There Is (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Tig,
you never cess to amaze me at how quickly you able to turn songs out! You are truly gifted in this area! Another great song! One suggestion though .....in the chorus the line "She always knows how to make me feel just right" I would take out the word ALWAYS because when reading through the song, its talking about a girl who hardly knew the guy and who asked him to stay.......... so as the song goes along every time the word ALWAYS comes up, to me it sounds like she has known him for a LONG time. Hope that makes sense what i am trying to say. Otherwise, great song ![]()

Re: When the tables turn. (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I can relate so this beamer!
Last week I attempted a song of Tig`s that I have been learning and playing around with. Because I am not so great on the guitar, I asked one of my sons if he would record me on his proper sound equipment, hoping to add other music to cover up my bad guitar playing, to which he said yes. All good and well the thought! HOWEVER trying to sing without playing and playing without singing so he could record me so that he could add drums and other instrumentals ......completely through my timing out! I am so used to singing in time to either my ukulele or guitar or cajon or whatever instrument I using. After many attempts apparently sometimes I was coming in on the right beat, at other times, late, or very very late (he named all technical jargon about it - puffffft). So he reluctantly resorted to plan B which was to record me whilst strumming the guitar .... hmmm my timing was still out to the drum beat! So, I have learnt that when I sing certain songs, I have invented my own unique timing that no one can follow, it doesn`t follow any rules of timing whatsoever! Recording session ended with NO RECORDING! Think I have been politely told! lol
