Hi Bill.
If I recall correctly, Russ bought a guitar with an automatic tuner?
I have lots including pitch pipes, one each on my guitar processers (2) one on my PC of course one on my recorder and the one I use mostly on my vocal harmoniser. They all have slightly different pitches, so the important one is the harmoniser.
Here's a tip. When tuning start with the G string go to the D,A and low E before tuning the high E an D strings a tip I got from Joe Walsh
well done, you should be safe there. so happy new PA day
Bill, there's an old American saying;
YOU GET NOTHING FOR NOTHING.
We have a mail order company that sells things with "free shipping" that is they send it to you cost free. If it's not suitable eg too small and you need to return it you have to pay for the return. They have to make money somehow, don't they?
in a previous life...eh Jim?
I've always played Stand by me in D major so you'd best stay on the drums when we get together Bill!
Roger Guppy once said he hates it when songs are written out with the chords on first verse and chorus so I've always written them out all the way through! Jim and Amy can get songs chopro'd properly maybe they can help us?
Bill....most certainly a vibrato unit turned full up by the sound of it!
BGD, they would need to be very small, the Venues I mean lol. Someone once said "you can always turn down for smaller places but you can't turn up for the bigger ones". I like my sound to be right wherever I play and if I can't get it right I get very tetchy. The wife asks how did it go and I say crap and she says did they ask you back and I say yes then she says it can't have been that bad then?
This is me....if you are happy that's all that counts. Will you record any shows?
I had a quick look via your link, it's a 40 watt amp but Roland are a good make still the bass guitar notes may cut into your vocals and cause some distortion/drop outs. So I would advise getting a proper rig and on the smaller gigs just use one speaker.
Unfortunately though I am in complete agreement with you, not everyone has the same taste in music. You just have to grin and bear it.
On the other hand if there were show tunes playing I would find a new dentist.
Honestly that's what I meant. No breath, just lethargy. It was 6 months of pain and discomfort. I love cycling, playing badminton, swimming etc. No energy for any of it. Then it gradually went away. Light at the end of the tunnel
After recent "incidents",. Note-- Also had to go from chain smoking, hard drinking to doing nothing in one step. It does get frustrating knowing that I can`t do anything like I used to anymore.
Sounds like your recent incidents have done you small favour?
About 20 years ago I had similar symptoms. After lengthy tests they discovered I had something called sarcoidosis. It's not very nice, I had to give up gigging for about a year and a lot of other things I enjoy doing.
I doubt that is what you're suffering, but it would be worth checking it out?
I tried to sing with as much feeling as I could and with more than a little nod to the Animals HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. Jim's pictorial background makes it ever so more poignant and his words, as ever, so discriptive and eloquent. I am as always delighted to be part of this project.
I know Jim also wants to dedicate this song to our dear friends Bill and Dondra in their time of mourning.
We must also give our prayers and rememberances to those that were murdered on Saturday in London. Let us all pray that these weak minded fools will throw down their guns and bombs and join the 21 at century soon.
There is no glory in killing inocents. There is no paradise waiting for murderers.
so beautiful TF. well done, i'm sure we all echo your sentiments
hi jim,
i've sent you my cover. i didn't want to hear how you did it till after i'd finished, and i have to say it's not that much different, i went for the bluesy approach.
i guess you've heard about the attack in london at the week end? whats wrong with these people?
Dear Bill and Dondra,
This news is so sad and tragic. I guess we've all lost parents and or siblings but to lose a child must be the worst. Thankfully it's not a situation I've had to endure but that doesn't mean I don't feel your loss.
Ann also sends her love and prayers to you both. RIP Jason and condolences to you both.
Phill and Ann
Excellent! What more can I say? How do spell Passecooga?
Haven't heard it for years. Still sounds fresh though. One of those one hit wonders!
It reminded me that I was trying to get a date with a gorgeous girl and she'd written the words down in her school book, we were 14 at the time. So I borrowed the book! Never did get that date.....
Thanks for that Russ. Must say I didn't know of him before. I prefer his version to all the other slow ones I've heard and I'll be doing this version in future. Loved the HELLO MAMMA track too! Hysterical.
The stooges were brilliant and their timing was spot on. They must have spent weeks rehearsing that song alone!
The world is full of sadness lately and yet another bights the dust. RIP GREG.
It's a sad song and with this subject rightly so. You seem to be able to put down in writing what most of us can only feel.
Congratulations on another beautiful if sad song. Still a few days from my guitar but we'll be reunited soon.

You let it go on Holiday without you ??? What a guy !!
Yeah, I take my tablet but leave my guitar at home. Doesn't make sense does it? It's like taking the washing machine and leaving the wife behind.....Then again!!!!!!!!!
You've nailed it again. Every statement is true, but I love the last line of the chorus and song,
IF I FALL DOWN SEVEN TIMES I'LL GET UP EIGHT.
Can't wait to try it out but I won't see my guitar for another week
That was laugh out loud funny and you sound like you're having a lot of fun making it up as you go?
Many happy returns of the day. Also have a great night
The one i lose always tend to show up after i throw the odd one away....It could take years before i throw them! But hey ho
