i wish i could do that but my man-cave does not allow for spacing everything out, i have to stack stuff on top of each other then put them on something else till it's their turn to go into the car. a place for everything and everything in it's place....til they have to be moved.

Re: no name yet (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
a lot of metaphor in there i think. sounds to me like a break-up song, maybe wrong? but the words flow together so well and they're carefully chosen i think. well done cant wait till you feel well enough to record it.

Topic: toast! (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
you know how toast always lands butter side down when you drop it? it seems the same thing happens if your guitar gets knocked over!
i was loading the car up saturday night when i bumped the guitar case and of-course it landed string side down and i realised that every time that's happened it will always land that way. anybody else noticed that?
ps, it played ok so no damage, there surely is a place in heaven for whoever invented the hard case

Re: Today is..... (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well, thank you all. i thought i'd kept that a secret? yes 65 and still kicking. my birthday was saturday and (for a change) i had a local gig, but still only 2 pints. now sunday was a different matter! the family took me to my local (after sunday lunch....of course) i didn't quite get to the state of being carried home, just guided and steadied! my beer belly has extended several inches and fosters (lager) made a rather large profit that day.
loved the guitar birthday cake, it took me a few minutes to realise what it was, realistic
thanks again

Re: What is more important price or sound? (26 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I'd heard a lot of Stratocasters so decided that's what I wanted. I played one in the shop, but I play lefty so had to order my guitar sight unseen. When it arrived I had to take it...big mistake! I spent the next 30 years trying to get it to sound the way I wanted. I failed. I played with band members who bought cheap copies but they sounded so much better than mine. Lesson learnt I won't buy any guitar on mail order regardless of maker or how much cheaper they may be. I must have tried hundreds of guitars till I found the one. I knew it as soon as it was put in my hands. Hope you find your one and you have a long and happy life together. Enjoy your concert and let us know how it went.

Re: Flat-Wound Strings on a Gretsch (15 replies, posted in Electric)
all the beatles early recordings were with flat wounds. when i started playing around '66 round wounds were coming into favour. i tried flats once and hated them as they lost their tone very quickly. but i loved and still love the chunky sound on those early beatles tracks.

Re: how many lives. (22 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Kevin, my apologies I over reacted so once again..sorry. I am the same as you apart from the gardening bit. As I'm threatening 65 the bones don't work as they used to, I'm sure you know what I mean?
The song is meant to show sympathy and solidarity for not only the French who sustained this latest attack but to all victims of this senseless vandalism and murder. I am Christian by the way but I have studied the Muslim religion somewhat and true Muslims abhors and detest the atrocities performed in God's name.
Oh dear, I'm preaching again. Once again apologies for jumping the gun, please continue posting and if you'd like email me through the forum if you'd like to chat.
Phill.
