Thanks Phill
detoxing from playing music ?
If so - it must be catching - I have been less than motivated this past week --- just hanging out with my fam and not missing the guitar at all.
Happy New Year !

Re: The Buddy Holly Story (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Bill
That was interesting.
I am not convinced it is accurate however.
Listen to the Tommy Allsup interview and the Waylon Jennings interview -
Not at all the same version as Dion's.
I think as I listen to Dion's production, - it seemed to me to be more about him than the depiction of the events.
Some really cool inside information though - I appreciate the link - I watched the entire thing.
The winter there must have been brutal -25 degrees on a bus !
I was able to visit the Norm Petty Studio last year in Clovis New Mexico - actually sat in Buddy Holly's studio chair and held his Strat! ( I have pics if your are interested)
I also was privileged enough to meet and spend an hour talking with David Bingham - who was a back up singer for Holly on all of his early productions ( group was the Roses)
He was the coolest old guy- told me a bunch of really interesting and personal stories. He said when they would drive with Buddy from Lubbock,Texas to Clovis, they would go as fast as they could - always trying to get there before they left. The reason was the time zone change - if they could get there in less than an hour - mission accomplished. 
anyway - very good post - Thanks my friend

Re: Christmas comes but once a year (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I re-wrote some of the lyric - toned done the religious component a bit - I think its a little more amicable.
Changed a few of the chords and re-phrased the fit of some of the lyrics.
I like it a lot better

Topic: PEATLE IS THE MAN !! (1 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I was just going to reply to Peatle in the original thread - but thought it was good enough to share with all our Chordie friends.
Peatle Jville wrote:
That is a very good poem EB . I think as more and more people around the world find life hard we will see more people rioting as they have in Paris..They are people who have found that the cost of living has got out of hand for them to survive..
While some new jobs are being created in the world economies, many are now in the low-paying sectors and are usually temporary. Corporate leaders and mainstream economists tell us that the rising unemployment figures represent short-term "adjustments" to powerful market-driven forces that are speeding the global economy in a new direction. They hold out the promise of an exciting new world of high-tech automated production, booming global commerce, and unprecedented material abundance. Well a simple person like me can’t believe that or see it happening. The role of humans as the most important factor of production is bound to diminish in the same way that the role of horses in agricultural production was first diminished and then eliminated by the introduction of tractors. In all three key employment sectors - agriculture, manufacturing, and services, machines are quickly replacing human labour and promise an economy of near automated production by the mid-decades of this century As the new generation of "smart" robots, armed with greater intelligence and flexibility, make their way to the market, manufacturers are far more likely to substitute them for workers because they are most cost effective. It is estimated each robot replaces four jobs in the economy, and if in constant use twenty-four hours a day, will pay for itself in just over one year. The number of robots is expected to rise dramatically in the coming decades as thinking machines become far more intelligent, versatile, and flexible. Already, millions of workers have been permanently eliminated from the economic process, and whole work categories and job assignments have shrunk, been restructured, or disappeared. Global unemployment has now reached its highest level since the great depression of the 1930s. More human beings are now unemployed or underemployed in the world. The numbers are likely to rise sharply in future years as millions of new entrants into the workforce find themselves without jobs. Sorry I better stop my raving.. My point is as people find it harder to pay their way, they are more likely to take to the streets and riot.
Peatle- you are a famous DUDE in the USA !!
I printed this out and used in my 8th class - we were discussing technology - the good and the bad.
I took the liberty of adding the title" Technological Unemployment" to the handout.
It was an awesome discussion - it worked real well with the students.
When I told them you were a friend I've never met they were puzzled - I told them - ahhh the benefits of technology !
Thanks Peatle - Good Stuff!

I tried adding a C chord to rap music - just made it more ......
C-RAP
Seriously - there are some good Rap songs... not too many in my opinion
It's funny how kids are so attracted to it though.
Just not my cup of tea.

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Badeye - that was excellent..... I think this written by Leadbelly -
It's great story about the Louisiana railway.a railroad in Louisiana and just outside of New Orleans they used to have a toll
and the engineers pull up to the toll booth & blow the whistle then talk to the depot
and tell’em what they have on board. For certain things, you don’t have to pay toll at
So the engineer would pull up to the station and say something like…
I got Liiivvveestooock
I got Liiivvveestooock
I got pigs, I got sheep
I got cows, I got horses
I got AAAALLLL Livestock
and that's how the song started....

Beamer and Jan
Thanks so much.
Scott - maybe you could do it at open mic this holiday !
Might be leaning a bit too religious, but - it's just the way the song is.
Any way - thanks for the positive feedback and I'll keep asking Santa for a decent voice
Merry Christmas
