Re: concerts i wish i hadn't seen (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
musical legends like Dylan or John Denver have an aura about them which shines through even when they're not at their best, i suppose if you didn't know who they were you wouldn't have such high expectations. as for Joe Cocker i saw him about 1979 playing in Swansea he and his band were supersonic and one of the best shows i have ever seen. i also heard he was playing live in Cardiff a few years back as support to one of those one hit wonders that no one can remember now, and he was fantastic again (it was an afternoon concert) but all the kids drifted off as they only came for the "pretty boys" that were miming...what has the world come to?

If I'm right you're saying....every cloud has a silver lining. Or...roses are red violets are blue, they grow in a garden covered in poo? That's the watered down version.

Topic: concerts i wish i hadn't seen (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
we've all missed great concerts, i missed Jimmy Page and Robert Plant who turned up with a new band they were promoting in a Pendine caravan club, they got up to jam later in their set. how did i miss it? i was 50 miles away pulling the engine out my car to fix a big end knock.
so...concerts i wish i'd missed; Argent the second time they'd gigged at Llanelli. they were crap the first time and they played exactly the same set 2nd time even the rubbish jokes.
Mott the Hoople, they were awful! 10 years after were also on the bill but they pulled out last minute ggrrr!
Alexis Corner, we were expecting CCS, but we got blues all night. we had to wait till the end to see local group Man who were brill.
anyone know who CCS were and their one big hit?

Re: Free software (34 replies, posted in Recording)
ive had the scarlett 18i6 for a few years and i kept getting emails saying if i registered i'd get a load of stuff plug ins etc so i tried down loading and got nothing. not to say focusrite isnt great stuff as i got a recording studio with it which i only use for mixing and getting stuff ready for youtube or soundcloud. it took me a long time to get into it and had to have assistance which was very good and free. if you can get it then go for it

Topic: Boy in the Sweetshop (5 replies, posted in Poems)
The boy in the sweet shop.
There was a young boy in the sweet shop.
He looked at the chocolates and sweets.
He wished he could try just a sample.
And chew all the sweets he could eat.
For hours he stood by the window.
Dreaming how nice they would taste.
Then out of the shop came his father.
Said “hey boy, what is your game?”
The boy said “dad I was dreaming.
Of how those Smarties would taste.
One by one I would eat them.
And I swear not one I would waste.”
His father said “son I was your age.
When I ate all the sweets I could buy.
Till one day my teeth began rotting.
To the dentist I had to arrive.”
He looked at his old man's gnashers.
Top set he held in his hand.
The bottom set they were just partials.
In a glass at night they would stand.
“So, son” said the father expecting.
The lesson his son surely learned.
“What do you say to those sweeties?”
The boy thought for a minute then said....
“OK, I'll have a Mars bar instead.”

Re: I can`t get myself to play. (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
hey Joey, I feel your pain. I once enjoyed a libation or two a few years ago, average night (with the band) half bottle of Napoleons finest with several pints of Australia's best amber nectar. What got me to calm down was having to face down a couple of coppers that stopped me for speeding after downing lots of port and brandy. I'd began the night with 2 pints of lager and that's all I told the police I'd had!!! Hard to believe but they believed me, just giving me a warning about speeding thanks to whoever is watching over me. I've heard the "gypsy's" warning (as my mother used to say) and now I have a drink or two but not when I'm driving. I know it's not the same thing, but if your mind and will are strong you will do it.

Very good Jim, a little work needed on the frazing otherwise a cracking song. I imagined it a little rockier in a country rock style. Another winner.

Re: 20 and 22 fret electric necks (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
My Tele has 21 frets, my Cort has 24. The extra 3 frets make a big difference if I'm playing Albatross. It also makes it slightly easier to bend the strings when playing up the neck. Others may not agree, but that's my opinion.

Re: Rondo 9-String Guitar (3 replies, posted in Electric)
That's a real oddity. From what I could make out from your picture, it has 2 high E strings and 2 B's! And seeing it has a whammy bar, I'm guessing it's meant for lead only. Nice looking though.

Re: Think You Have (4 replies, posted in Poems)
Peatle, that is so deep. It's more of a commentary or a sermon and I think it would mean something to everyone that reads it. I got the reference to earthquakes even though I have never experienced one (TG) I just hope everyone will read this and take their own meanings from it and learn.
