maintenance to me is changing the strings and wiping the body down and cleaning the frets. i used to have a tin of switch cleaner that got rid of the grating sound you sometimes get when turning knobs up or down. i never replaced it, wish i had.
fenders do seem to have grounding issues, i found that with my strat and tele, my other guitars don't seem to do it. usually standing too close or even facing the amp can cause it, i just turn away to cure it.
reading this made me very thoughtful. the sentiment is clear, that feeling of being let down by someone you love? you certainly have a way with words and how to describe a feeling. i'm in quiet mode at the moment as Ann is having a nap, but i will give it a go later.
congrats on another cracker.
I thought I'd post this one as it's not one of my usual themes. It's about those detestable millionaires that run our world from behind the scenes, that take all our money to make themselves richer. They make us work for a pittance then tax us to the hilt. When are they gonna pay back what they owe us? Oh yes, I've been watching The Black List on box sets, this week we've seen 3 series....
Chordpro error: The song does not contain chords. Please include at least two chords in brackets within the text, like this: [C7].
I never use monitors, when I did a while ago, I got a ton of feed back. I know everyone will say; place them carefully and turn them down....in small rooms which I play both options would just defeat the object. Sound is important, probably as important as being tight and rehearsed so if you don't have a sound man out front, I would suggest a monitor for the drummer only. Everyone else can hear the PA and keep the instrumental balance seeing as it's a vocal only PA.
I officially retired July 30 last year, at least that's when they gave me my old age pension. All I want for the coming year is all I've wanted for years which is a quiet life, no family squabbles and being allowed to do what I want which is mainly to write, record and play music.
I've changed my mind. Maybe ; The Sun Still Shines?
Happy birthday Tony, hope you have a great day and the rest of the year too.

It's not work, work! It's entertaining work. I shall be done (I hope) by 12.30 then down to my son's house to join in the party....yes I know; stone cold sober when everyone else is ratted...big awe for Phill
I too love the English language and hate it when it is misused or illegitimate-child-ised (you know what I mean?) Although in his cups is a new one on me.
I've read some Christie but never heard of Thomas Lederer! I shall have to look that one up
The more I get to know you the more talents come to the surface; a thespian no less?
It's new years eve and I shall be working tonight but I will be thinking of you and Dondra be good and enjoy.

. The more you have the longer you live. As you slide down the bannister of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
I love that it really made me laugh out loud
Also thanks from me and Ann, hope you got my reply which was meant to say Blwyddyn newydd dda; happy new year, but my tablet wouldn't let me say that it kept changing...so blinking annoying.
Many happy returns Amy, have a great day and new year of course.
The article mentions the final tour which was recorded in Cardiff which I've watched several times. Hank mentions that he uses heavy gauge strings for the older tracks eg Apache which is why he changed his guitar so much during the concert. Just thought you might like this bit of trivia. I used to love those old Burns!
Hi Bill
I have no love for Sure mike's anyway. If you're recording onto a computer of some sort you'll probably get a better sound from the on board mike. You will need an MP3 program on the tablet to change it to MP3, but I think SoundCloud accepts WAV files anyway?
Good luck with your recording can't wait to hear it.
A song about mental demons? As always superbly written and laid out. I can't help you at the moment with chords or a melody but I will give it a go later.
Another cracker Jim.
Such a shame about Carrie, she was on the Graham Norton show a month or so ago and she seemed on the button, mentally but no longer Princess Leya physically. She was quite bemused as most Americans are on that show and so the news was all the more shocking as was George Michael demise!
As the wife says it's the end of us all.
Robert! It's so nice to hear from you again. Thanks for replying and hope you get your speakers soon
Thanks to all and hope you had a merry Christmas
Wishing you all a terrific Christmas and new year, let's wish us all a better year than this one has been.
Party on dudes
Love from Wales, Phill and Ann
Another sad post from me. Rick was guitarist and vocalist in Status Quo, one of my favourite bands. He will be sadly missed as I missed one of their concerts last summer. He had been taken ill before so I believe his son took his place. I had been at one of their concerts back in 1972 and what an impression it made on me, probably the main reason I love rock music.
In addition to what Roger said above, none of us pay to be a member here so none of us has the right to demand anything. We can make suggestions, try that in future.
Thanks all and merry Christmas. Jerome, both my new pedals are battery or power supply, it's great though not to have to worry about the battery running out half way through a gig or recording. WARNING! Don't leave your jacks plugged in when not in use.....they run out.
new pedal day.
i have a Wilson bass guitar which i enjoy playing but there are no tones it's either full on or full off. so after 40 years of dank or dummm, i've splashed out on a new stomp pedal; a Beringer BD121 V-TONEDRIVER DI, the reviews were good and so was the price and the range of tones is just what i was looking for. i sold my bass amp around the time Elvis died which was when i went solo so i just play it through my Alessis mixer into my Tascam. big smile....
so that's me done for another year.
My God that is so touching. The video complements your words which are written so well to a tee! I'd forgotten about that song so it didn't feel like me performing it then I could listen to it as a third party I think all the errors were on the vocals. Well done Jim, a true talent.
hi EB, you should have posted this in Poems until you or one of our trusted musicians might put some chords to it. i guess a mod from this forum will come along and move it for you, so you'll know where to find it. never the less it is what it says on the tin....melancholy and quite sad, you've written it in the style of a letter, maybe something there to work on? i have a son out in Oz working "up north" as he says in the mines, sadly he's working over Christmas as he has done for the last few years as he has no wife in Oz (long story) but just recently he met a young lady from Bali which he seems taken with, so you never know? the point is; they're both alone for Christmas, so maybe next year? just like your song talks about.
so well done.

Hi there Butch, when I saw your tag I took a second look at the date and saw today's, so welcome back. Some other names you may remember but have got lost somewhere are Daddy Cool, Old Doll and Southpaw which I haven't seen for a while and a few others. Sorry for your family and hand problems, hope 2017 is a good one for you.
