Hi stealstrings,

I have to echo Ark's and Kenny's remarks that a recording of it, so we can understand the tempo and emotion of the song. would be great.

Well done,

Roger

Hi Mark,

You do turn out some pretty fine songs and this is no exception.

For me the best drummer will always be Dave Payne. OK I know no one has heard of him but back in the 60's I was rhythm guitarist for what would now be considered a Shadows tribute band. Not only was Dave the best drummer in the district he would do at least 2, 15 to 20 minute drum solo's during a gig. This gave me the chance to get onto the dance floor, find a partner and arrange to take the young lady home . Oh happy days!!

Roger

Sorry to be late on this one Jeff but I hope you, and Amy's little one, both had very happy birthdays.

You cannot lower the pitch 4 semitones with a capo but by putting it on the eighth fret and raising it 8 semitones you will be in the desired key albeit an octave higher. Fingering might be a little awkward with the capo so high up the fretboard though.

You might be better transposing to the desired pitch.

Hi Amy,

I shall be be stopping with my little brother who has  3 or 4 guitars so I shall be able to keep playing. We might even end up going to his local with them one night as we usually do when I am there. The last time there were 5 of us playing and we ended up at one of the guy's house until the early hours of the morning.

My mum was a pretty good pianist and as kids we often played along with her, she always enjoyed our playing and the recordings I sent her especially this one that I did for her which has photos from her's and dad's engagement, wedding plus Jean, Colin and I as kids:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF0vWvX9gCo

Thank you all and thank you for sharing your losses too. My mum was 87 and still living independantly on her own. It was unexpected and happened quickly without any suffering which was a blessing for her but hard on us.

I have a small circle of very good friends here who have been very supportive who have been checking I'm OK every day and it is good to talk about personal tragedys with people you trust.

I have just arranged my flight to go back for 10 days, volcano permitting, for her funeral so I will be with the family for a while.

Toney, my guitar certainly been a comfort to me and teaching some of my young students on Saturday and today has helped too.

Hi John,

Feel free to join in the discussions and ask when you need help or clarification but please read the 'Stickys' at the start of each section as they will give you guidance and what is allowed on things like copyight.

Enjoy Chordie,

Roger

Hi PostJohn and welcome to Chordie,

None of the songs listed on Chordie, apart from originals in the Songwriting section, are hosted here. Chordie is a search engine and finds words and chords from other sites so strum patterns cannot be added. However if there is a particular song you want help with then ask in the appropriate section and I am sure that someone will give you assistance.

PS Are you from New Zealand as your e-mail address seems to indicate?

Thank you Helena and Mark,

It happened very suddenly and we are all very much in shock at present.

Roger

Thank you Helena that is my favourite Johnny Cash song.
