Topic: How did you figure out your chordie name? (39 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I see all your different names.Im sure these arent the names you were born with(for the most part).How did you figure out the name you are using?Ill start.My name is Joe.My nickname was Joey for a long time.Still is with a lot of people.It came from being the youngest of 3 with the same first name.My grandfather was Joe,I have a cousin Joseph who is older.Im the youngest(Joey).The name JoeyJoeyJoey came from the most obvious of places.The beginning of the Joey Bishop show.The color episodes.They would sing joey joey joey he would say son of a gun and the music would start.Plus Joey Bishop was one of my favorite actors and comedians.Thats it.A whole long paragraph for the Joey Bishop show.Thats where the name came from.How about you?

What we call a hurricane up here,you call a windy day.Same as what you consider being buried in snow,is just a minor inconvenience for us.Some lost power.My lights didnt even flicker.My wife is from Buffalo and Maine.Being buried in snow was an everyday thing for her.Everyones bad weather isnt so bad for someone else.Except tornados.That hit the next town over.

Re: New strings (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Strings are like diapers?Very eloquent way of putting it.I havent changed a diaper for a long time,but I change strings a few times a year.Just remember:no matter how old a string is,it still wont smell as bad as a diaper. Just a deep thought!!!

Re: New strings (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
The fact that you were using a dvd to restring tells me its youre first time restringing.It takes a few times to get restringing down to a science.I broke strings many times by winding them too tight.Like playing,restringing takes practice.When you start winding the string have the tuner ready as soon as you start winding and dont rush.Doug is also right.Bad strings do happen.Find someone who can show you how who has done it forever.I had two seasoned pros teach me twice and it was easy after the first few times.Also if youre tuner doesnt give a reading after continually turning the peg,back off and start over.Hope that helps; Joe

Topic: STUPID MOVE OF THE DAY (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Heres one for you.I came up with the genius idea of letting Gabby Trout drive my pickup in the backyard this morning.After showing her the brake and gas she went forward no problem.When she went to back it up,there was the problem.Instead of hitting the brake she floored it.She didnt get hurt but I hurt my wrist when the truck door hit me.A bunch of bushes stopped the truck or else my neighbor would have no shed or car.Now I have a few people mad at me.A hurt wrist(I cant play for a few days).I know, it was all my fault.Im laughing now,I was then.Now my daughter has sworn off driving until she is 16.Do I get the idiot of the day award for this? It seemed like a good idea at the time

I am thinking of letting my 13 year old daughter start a chordie profile.I know you all seem like great people but I cant help but be careful.Is there anything I should watch for.I dont want to be insulting to anyone but this is my little girl,so I apologize in advance if I have insulted any of you.Should I let her do it.I will constantly be checking and spying on her profile so not too much will get by me.I do it on all she does until she is old enough for me not to.Thanks joe
