Topic: Christmas comes but once a year (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Woke up this morning and started thinking about Christmas.
I remembered Bill asked me to write a song regarding my brother as well - so I sort of put the two together
so this is dedicated to my brother Bob.
I probably won't record it - bc i can't do it justice - but maybe if one of you want to - I would love to hear your version.

Christmas Comes But Once A Year Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[C]Christmas comes but [G]once a year
[Am]Angels singing for [Em] all to hear
To [F]celebrate the [C]birth of Christ
Re[F]membering his [G] sacrifice
Verse 2
[C]It’s much more than [G]what it seems
[Am]Heavenly thoughts and [Em] worldly dreams
It [F]reminds us of how[C] life begins
As [F]well as the love we [G] have within
Chorus
[C] Christmas comes but once a year
oh,[Em] look for that special star
[Am]Share your joys, reach out you hand,
and [F]love will always [C] be where you[G] are
[C]Oh, Christmas comes but once year
with [Em] joyous smiles and holiday cheer
[Am] remembering as church bells ring
the [F]lasting love of the [G]newborn [C]King
and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [C]brings
Verse 3
[C]So as we join with[G] family and friends
[Am]we think of those we [Em]won’t see again
and [F]know their light's still[C]shining on
their [F]spirit's still with us though[G] they are gone
Verse 4
[C]So as you gather round your [G]Christmas tree
[Am]Search your soul and [Em]make your peace
Oh [F]open your heart for the [C]world to see
And [F]share your love,let it [G] set you free
Chorus
[C] Christmas comes but once a year
oh,[Em] look for that special star
[Am]Share your joys, reach out you hand,
and [F]love will always [C] be where you[G] are
[C]Oh, Christmas comes but once year
with [Em] joyous smiles and holiday cheer
[Am] remembering as church bells ring
the [F]lasting love of the [G]newborn [C]king
and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [C]brings
oh, re[F]member the [G]love of the new born [C]King
and the [F]hope for [G] peace that a New Year [Cadd9]brings[C]

I will just re-submit a song I wrote from last year. I am working on one for this year but have very little time to progress it past an ititial thought.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah, or just plain Happy Holidays- to all my Chordy friends ! May you have an enjoyable and healthy end of the year with family and friends, remember those we have lost, and celebrate the good things and new beginnings yet to come.
Love to all of you

Genetics !
Dweezil did his father proud on this one.
It is a classic "New Zappa" production.
Frank was weirder than anything, but had a great musical talent. Son carrying the torch forward.
Joe's Garage album was one of my fave's
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing Brian

Re: Ever Been Thrown Out Of A Band? (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I would love to be in a band - even if I got thrown out in a week.
Just to say you played in one has so much prestige !
This post reminds me of Frank Zappa and Joe's Garage - fabulous music.
akes it's own sauce...)
It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
In the corner over by the Dodge
It was a fifty-four
With a mashed up door
And a cheesy little amp
With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"
And a second hand guitar
It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar !
Hahahahaha
Great post Bill and really interesting stories so far - hope there are more!

Good one Graham !
Looks and sounds great !
Sure feels like a great deal as well.
Interesting in the comments one guy said his had a plywood body, but it played better than any of his strats.
I am of the persuasion that a good guitarist can make just about any guitar sound fantastic.
I have been missing your videos Graham - used to enjoy them a lot. You have a unique voice and style.
Now that you own this guitar I will be looking for a new production !
Cool Beans my friend and GREAT to hear from you

Re: NGD Fender Elite (33 replies, posted in Electric)
Wow
These conversations blow my mind !
I did not realize musicians go through so many strings. I think I have changed my strings twice the whole time I have owned my guitars.
However, I don't play or practice nearly as often as any of you.
I can't imagine a string breaking - why does that happen? Is it because you strum too hard, bend to much or what ?

Got it now - what a beautiful guitar. I would love one, but way ut of my price range. If I had the skills of some the players on here I might consider it, but with my playing ability it would be a poor investment.
Thanks for showing this Russell - and many happy hours of playing this beauty!

Real Nice Russ
Here is a link to demo - might answer questions on the S1
If I could play like this player - I'd own one for sure.
If I was 30 years younger I'd want to be sitting on the couch with her - forget the guitar!
