Hi Helena,
It is great to see you here after so long. I am so sorry to hear of your problems and I sincerely hope you are soon back to your old self (correction - young self).
Take care and come back as often as you can as you have been sorely missed.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Re: Help me write a song (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
If you are using the chords I gave you then start very simply, 2 down strums where the is a 2 against the chord and 4 for all the other chords. When you get familiar with it then you can put in some up strokes and/or double strumming to make it more interesting.

Here in Portugal restaurants and snack bars all have proper expresso coffee makers and is is rare that you come across a bad cup. Most of the worst coffees I have had have been from the big chains and franchises, Burger King, Pizza Hut and the worst of all Starbucks.

Tommydone, there is a problem with the e.mail address you have shown on Chordie. I had tried to send you a backing track to help you with the timing and strumming but the 'Mailer-Daemon' states it has given up trying to deliver it.

Re: Chordie Stickers! Any interest? (67 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My cash is now making it's way across the Pond and I hope it gets there quicker than when I sent some to Russ for his CD. To disguise the fact that there is cash in an envelope I have hidden it in a CD of mine. (I don't think that I should be the only person to hear me singing, it is only fair to share the misery ).
I am looking forward to having the only ones in Portugal.

I hope this helps (if not bin it

Topic: Good Night Out (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It is past 02:00am and I am usually tucked up in my bed but I have had a late one tonight. As some of you know I work in my friends music shop and we had the job of setting up sound and lighting for some musicians at a private party. It was for a lady's birthday and the artistes appearing were her husband's surprise for her. There was a very talented band from Northern Ireland called Peach, four smart guys who performed a very varied repertoire and well worth seeing if you get the chance. However the big surprise of the night was the Four Tops who had been flown in from America. Sadly there is only one of the original line up still living and performing but the music was great.
And now I got to my bed .

Hi Wendy,
I have spoken to Per (the Webmaster) and he had disabled the chopro and print buttons for ipad. He will enable them again but I know he is on the road at the moment so I am not sure when he will be able to do it.
For everyone else on PC or laptop there should be no changes. If there are any please give a description and state the operating system and browser you are using.
