Lena,
My wife told me the same. She said that time will go by quickly and before you know it they're all grown up. Her oldest son, My step-son is fourteen going on fifteen. I told her that time doesn't go by quickly. Then she compairs her oldests son to our daughter telling me that she thought the same and she can remember when her son was born too. I tell her that she's rushing them, but I know that all things come to pass and someday they'll all be gone with families of their own. Racheal doesn't want her own things, she wants whatever daddy has; My chair, my shoes, my shirts, my supper, my spot on the bed, when I get of the couch she wants my spot. Racheal is a hundred percent daddy's girl. with the exception to cottage cheese she'll even eat everything that I do. I can remember the trips to the O.B., the birth, her birthdays. Of course mine are newer than some others that are reading, but I'm sure that the memories are just as fresh as they just happened for everyone.

marcalan,
Someone is always first at something, and it looks like you get to be it this time. So go ahead and post some songs and easy lessons.

chookrunner,
just for kicks, start out with old theme songs. Things that most people will know.
It doesn't really matter how good it sounds, if you're having a blast they will too.
Try this look about the audience, walk over to a person here and there and ask them if they can remember this song. Then start playing they theme song to Scooby Doo or the monkeys or something. Then introduce a friend or relative in the audience and embarrass them, with fun of course.
If you can keep it fun without doing anything that would cause bad feelings then you could play a song from a specific war. Be tasteful though.
Be creative and make it rememerable. Most of all have fun.

Lyrics are good.

Do you have the music yet, or are you wanting for some prospects?

Lena,
The Lyrics have a slower sound to them, but maybe a medium to faster chorus.

I can't do the F-chord yet either.
Insted of strumming the chords, maybe strum slowly or individual strings.

C,D, and G, I agree. not sure about the B7.

We'll never be free from terrorism until we can go on with our daily lives, and when we have to watch what we say or have someone tell us what we can see then we truely aren't free. We've gone from one type of terrorism to another one.

Doc,
I feel that America has somewhere gotten its morals mixed up. It wants so bad not to offend that it is the oppitomy of offensive. The holidays just, for some, make it worse.

I heard the other day that a Santa Clause wasn't alloud to say "Ho,HO,HO" because it was offensive to women so now that Santa has to say "Ha, Ha, Ha" instead. Buggs Bunny is to violent, but South Park, The Simpsons, and Beavis and Butt Head aren't.

American is so greedy that it has what's called "Black Friday". This is a day that most every store will drop the prices on everything, in order to increase its sales. People go completely crazy. Theft/armed robbery increases to unbelievable proportions. Why can't they just lower the cost and keep it that way year round.

I love my family dearly, but I am one that dreads the holidays. I would love to get my wife and kids everything their hearts desire, but I just can't. The holidays just help to remind me of my accomplishments and failures in life. All the holidays come at once. Then to compound it birthdays all fall in too.

There is so much that I wish for my family, friends, and lets face it I have wishes for the whole world. The Holidays are a reminder of my mortallity.

I remember an old commercial that went something like, "I'd love to buy the world a coke and to teach it to sing in perfect harmony, I'd love to buy the world a coke and teach it how to smile." Or something like that.

A large part of this world is run by greed and the holidays just make it all that more visible.

aj1,
If you should decide to replace the guitar, what are your plans for the old one?
Maybe you could give it to a local school or church or something. Even though it doesn't sound as good as it once did it would be good to teach someone with. It doesn't have to sound good to learn on it just has to be there forsomeone to learn their fingering on.
I've found that some old things that you donate are met with great appreciation. The person that receives it won't care how it sounds, just that it was a gift. With Christmas coming up it's a thought.

Altex,

There are problem solvers and then there are the problem creaters.
No matter what site you go to there are going to be people that try to fill all of us with filth and perversion, but it's up to all of us to not only report problems, but to try and stop it. If you want to keep the site clean then first you must report it then you could even send out your own warning to others. I have several chordians that I've got in my address book.

I've never ran across anything inappropriate,Yet, but there is always that possibility. Instead of complaining, do something.
Report it!!!

I'm proud to call myself a member of this site. I've met lots of people that never put me or my questions down. There is always someone here that is willing to help. I've came across other sites that don't care and it shows. If the people on this site didn't care it would be so filled with trash that noone would ever get anything accoplished.

If something gets through then you can't play the blame game.

Lena,
If you can't find what you're looking for maybe it's that you've gotten to good for what you've got.

Explore the sounds, Try alternating strings( one brass, the next steel,the third nylon, etc.)

Maybe try a whole new instrument, like a banjo.

Don't settle for the known sounds of the guitar, create new ones. (van Halen used to tape dimes or other objects. Supposedly.)

Someone had to be the first to create the chords that we all know. So create new ones.

lena,
you keep those chords simple for those of us that aren't quiet so good. Your songs are great and the chords easy to play.
Keep themm coming.
