My take on alternative tunings is:
The guitar is re-tuned to play a chord with all open strings. Then someone can work out the order of where to press a finger along a fret and strum to make it sound like he can actually play the guitar.
I sit back and wait to be shot down in flames

Well, my first public performance was forced upon me last week and no booze allowed! My 5-year-old dobbed me in to entertain at her kindergarten!!! So, using country strums I made up a song about a toothy, hairy, scary troll with lots of animation and audience participation and everyone was happy
It sounds like fun so I would love to hear a recording of this, or at the very least, see the lyrics and chords in the Songwriting section. 
Roger
Well done Ray, nice to hear this song.

On a side note - there are 2 Buccaneer Cheerleaders that work in my office - both gals are smart and super friendly and pretty easy on the eyes
I would not mention this to Mrs Topdown or you might be cooking your own supper

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.
Roger
Tommy I got this from the Mailer-Daemon about the new e-mail address you gave:
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.
<bmx487@verizon.net>:
206.46.232.11 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 4.2.1 mailbox temporarily disabled: bmx487@verizon.net
Giving up on 206.46.232.11.

I use Facebook to keep in contact with my family in the UK.
Sadly it is the only way I can do so as the donkey and cart take too long to get me back to see them

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.
Roger
That is odd Tom as they are in the same place as alway on my PC that's running XP and I.E.

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.

I recently saw an advert for Wrigleys Extra Sugar Free chewing gum I was disappointed to find out it neither had any extra sugar nor was it free .

There have been some changes for ipad users but there should be no difference for PC/laptop users.
Roger
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.
Roger
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.
Roger
Here are some chords that are easy and will fit to your lyrics. All chords shown are four beats unless marked with 2 for two beats. (Ignore the chords shown a C2 and G2 play a normal C and G)
I hope this helps (if not bin it )

(PS I added the / to the final [/img] to make your photo work)
I do not drink tea and have not done for over 50 years, I hate the stuff. So it is coffee for me every time.
Roger
I bet you an invite to the next one now. Well done.
Roger
Perhaps this is easier: http://bettylou.zzruss.com/betterbegoodtome.htm

Careful Doug, I got Helena's age wrong a few years ago and had to write a song for her to get back in her good graces .
I too have missed the wit and charm of this special lady, and I hope she is soon able to join us again.

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 .
Roger
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.

What is the internationally accepted policy on when the first adult beverage gets consumed?
It is normal not to consume an adult beverage until 'the sun is over the yard arm'.
By my reckoning 'the sun is over the yard arm' at some place in the world so you can start when you like .
Roger
Sorry to hear that Hannah, I hope it was not caused by the boyfriend ducking .
Roger
It sounds like a fine start to a great weekend. I will now go and sulk as I shall not be there.
