Congratulations !
I would think with you expertise - Bread Machine companies would be lining up to hire you as well as guitar manufacturers.:)
Enjoy your new timezone of retirement.
best wishes

Thanks Jan!
I appreciate the kind and on point feedback feedback.
it's difficult for me to voice songs because I 'm not much of a singer.
I appreciate that you took the time to give them a listen give me valuable commentary.
Hope all is well down under as begin to switch our seasons.

Re: Brain cell takes a vacation. (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OMG- I did the same thing this week end - I was trying to learn Uncle Kracker's Follow Me, and every dang time I'd try to play it without looking at the chords on paper, right in the middle of it I ended up playing the chorus of Drift Away by Dobie Gray.
I think my old brain cells that long ago got immersed in alcohol keep pushing back to re-emerge at their own chosen time
Great getting older ain't it ?

Re: lost another one (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Sad news it is --- but as Jim Morrison said in his autobiography .....
"Happens to everybody. Nobody gets out of life alive."
(Although the line "No one gets out of here alive" is from his song Five to One )
Chuck was a game changer in the music industry, not only for his musical genius - but in terms of racial progress as well.
RIP CHUCK !

TF - THANK YOU I try ![]()
Jan - with apologies - here is a new version ![]()
Phill - I don't know what a waltz goes like - but I know this isn't it !
However - what you said got me thinking - and so I put a new spin on it with different chords - a couple of minor lyric changes and came up with this.
I like it better than the first version. Jan - I promise I won't change it any more
!!!
This is the link to soundcloud for it - I also posted new chords and lyrics there.

Re: new strings (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OK I don't get it.
If I have strings that are on my guitar that I have had for two years, and I play probably at lest 1/2 hour to an hour every day - but they are still perfectly in tune, why do I need to change them ? Or even if I played four hours a day - but they are still in tune - why change ?
What am I missing here ? Remember that I am not a guitarist per say - so be gentle ! ![]()

Re: SONG TIGLJK (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Phill and Jan
Thank you for feedback.
Phill- If I actually knew how to write a waltz maybe it could sound like one.
I think they are 3/4 time or something, but I don't know how that would go chord wise.
and Yep - pretty much all of my songs revolve around emotion or a story to tell.
Jan- Lol - Just when I think I have it - something new pops in my head - hence the changes - until finally I like it or give up
I'm glad that you tried it .
Both of you ( or anyone else) - love to hear your version of it someday , if you have the time.
after two days of snow ( 43" in total) it's back to work!
Thanks again!
Jim

LOL
She is proudest when the old adage " silence is golden" comes in to play.
I actually now have a small room where I can play and record ,so it works out fine.
I think my guitar playing is improving slowly ..........- my singing - well probably never
- but its just the way it goes. I'm never gonna be tall either
Thanks for giving it a look though.

Topic: Happy Spring (1 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well - it appears that I am about to get slammed with 18" of snow tonight and tomorrow. Amy ( couple hours North of me) is in it worse I think.
Every time this happens I can't help think to myself - why do I live here. It is -2 right now outside my house with the impending snow.
In addition, a neighboring village had their beautiful church burn down last night - those poor firefighters all night long battling in those sub zero temps to protect other buildings.
I am dreaming this morning of a beach with warm sand and gentle waves ! ![]()
