That was fantastic !
You've got to put more recordings out there - If I had your talent I would be playing guitar all day and and all night long !
Just plain excellent.

Sorry if it hurts your ears

Thanks to all of you who made suggestions as it went through it's revisions.
I like it, hope you do.
Jim
Thank You Roger
It's not really a big deal, it's just annoying
bc I can't figure it out -
I have made a dozen or more changes to this song and finally have it where I like it and I think it really sounds pretty good.
Too bad I can't sing or play worth a lick
Thanks for your help again
Jim
Thanks for the comment, I don't think there is an answer that resolves it. ![]()

On my song " Almost" I have a little riff I injected.
When I type it in everything is fine except for "4th" (as in 4th string)
It comes out as "4tb" every time. I have tried to change it a bunch of times. It is the same as it is in chopro on the form page as it is where I saved it in my songbook.
this is what it looks like when I type it
now I’m [C7] almost hopeless , it was [B7]almost never [4th string -2nd fret, 4th string open, 3rd string 2nd fret, 3rd string open ] meant to [Em] be
any help would be appreciated
Jim
I put little walk down in the last line as well - it sounds pretty cool when I play it.
It's kinda weird though and I can't figure it out - where it says 4th string in my writing it comes up 4tb string in the chordie format
also some of the words run together in the chordie format although they are not together in the lyrics.
I will make a new version for soundcloud sometime - I am sooooo busy right now it's ridiculous. Hopefully one you guys will do something with it.
Have a great week
JIM
Great !!
Celebrate, Celebrate
Deadeye ( and anyone else who might care)
I rearranged it, made some lyric changes, and now the song makes a lot more sense.
Thanks for the positive criticism - I appreciated it immensely.
I think it plays really well right now as well . I like it a lot.
Thanks to all of you who have made suggestions.
Jim
Thanks again Deadeye!!
deadeye
I love the suggestion and I think I can fit that in with out too much of a hassle
far from happy song
Thanks for the edit prop
Jim
That is excellent !
and it is ......So true, so true, so true!!
Jim
That was awesome.
Paul Simon played at Cooperstown ( about 15 mins from my house), along with Bob Dylan.
A bunch of years ago - I had front row seats - it was a great night.
His uncanny ability to play, create, and sing is unsurpassed. His lyrics are absolutely some of the best in the world. At his age he doesn't stop - what an inspiration to us all.
His rhythms are always creative and scintillating in many mysterious ways. An all time great performer.
The other musicians on the stage are so talented as well. Chris Thile in the gray suit ( mandolin) is a master musician and has a personality that fits perfectly into live productions - he is a riot. He is one of the best (BUT NOT RECOGNIZED AS MUCH ) musicians, on the planet. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to be on a stage performing with him. Along with him is Sarah Jaroz - who I posted about - I think two years ago - she is fantastic. plays like every string instrument there is and has a fabulous voice ( not unlike Jan and Amy's of chordie lore!
)
Richard Dworsky on keyboards - not featured so much in the video - but one of the long time players on the Prairie Home Companion show - another really great performer. The Punch brothers are excellent as well.
Put that group all on one stage - and it is exactly what you would expect. - pure excellence - along with a whole bunch of us that wish we were at that concert.
Thanks for sharing Peatle - another great find from the Loremaster !! Keep them coming my friend!!
Peatle that is a great one... I have used it in my classes.
Here is another one of my favorites that I show my students.

The difference between RFK and our recent American leaders is as wide as the oceans.
François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire said it
When words don't work - violence is the path that is next chosen
to quote a Jackie DeShannon 1965 song ( re-done by Dionne Warwick) " What The World Needs Now, Is Love, Sweet Love"
Good one Brian!
Jim
Like CG said - they were great and I too kept clicking on the next video. What a wonderful take on music to have some fun.
I would classify this Genre as Stoic Presentation.
I absolutely love Prairie Home Companion anyway - it is / was a great show. If you get the chance - watch the movie of the same title - lots of stars in it - Lily Tomlin, Meril Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Lindsay Lohan, and John C. Reilly
It's about the death of live stage productions as such
Thanks for sharing !
Jim
add duct tape - fixes everything
and like EB said - wallet
If only drinking would only target and kill those cells that store that nasty stuff in our brain
Well done Beamer - emotional and straight to the point

Russell
Reminds of ....Frank Zappa Joe's Garage
"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 little amp
With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"
And a second hand guitar
It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar
We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
All we did was bend the string like...
Great Song - Great Music - GREAT PURCHASE RUSSELL !!!! HAVE FUN - GET A COUPLA QUARTS OF BEER TOO! ![]()
Cheers
Jim
Nice purchase Russell !
The link to new version is
Jets - Thanks that works great !!
I can't change the persons name as it appears in song book list - although when it opens - it shows mine but it doesn't matter.
Thanks again for the tip !
Also - thanks to Peatle's observation and encouragement- I made a lyric change in the first verse - much better !
Peatle
Yup I was having trouble with that myself. Thanks for the encouragement - I went back and re-wrote the first verse and took that out.
now it will go like this
[Em] Almost gone, almost there, almost fell in love
Well I [A]almost cried, almost cared, you know[Em] almost ain't good enough
yeah, I'm [B7]almost sorry, I’m can almost see
that i'm[C7] almost where, I [B7] never wanted to [Em] be
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]
I will make a new recording and replace the old on soundcloud as soon as I get a chance.
Phill - absolutely right it was out of tune a bit. I had tuned it - but then was messing around on a couple of songs using the tremelo- and I think the result was that two strings got stretched a bit and were slightly out of tune. enjoy your holiday - that looks like a beautiful island !!
Thanks for the listen.
actually occurred on Breed's Hill
I did a quick recording with my cheesy computer mic
( Not that even the best mic in the world would help my singing
)
Hopefully some one that can actually play and sing can do a cover of this if they think it is worthy.
I like it bc it's fun to play.

ANOTHER WELL DONE PIECE ! DID YOU NOTICE THE GUITAR FRETS ( AROUND THE 2:00 MARK ) THE INLAYS WERE BIRDS FLYING - REALLY COOL
THANKS FOR SHARING

George Washington = Wooden Teeth, Not Abe Lincoln
FABULOUS !!!!|
YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY
(except for the part where he tells you that's enough for today and puts something temporary in - instead of finishing the job).
Then, as you are sitting in your car adjusting your seat belt and looking in the rear view mirror to admire his work, you see him dashing across the parking lot to his Lexus with his golf clubs, and pull out in hurry while texting his buddies he is on the way !
Great one Peatle, Oh Lord Loremaster ![]()
