rocherchick,
  Most times, and from most people, you'll find that respect is earnt not givin.
I love and respect my children, but I don't always respect their decisions.
Yes I am a prying parent. I want to know all about my daughter's freinds. I want to always know where my children are and what they are doing and who they are doing it with.
The place and time that I grew up was safer and kinder. A person could leave their front door opened at night. A young adult, I say young adult because that is what you are now and not a child, could go hang out and parents didn't have to fear. Well, maybe not fear as much.
I'm sure that by now you've already heard those little sayings that really @@@@ you off. Like it wasn't like that when I was a kid, I just did it myself. If I had done what you just did my parents would have beatin me. Lets face it, Life today for young adults is a whole lot more challenging and tempting.

Don't be scared to ask questions, but always be careful what you say and who you say it to over the internet. Not everyone has good intentions. Not everyone cares about you as a person. Some people get on the internet with the intention of causing you harm.

Through some of my lengthy conversations I've discovered a lot of people that will talk with you. They will help in any way they can. I've found this to be a really good site.

     Old Doll, I got your message lound and clear. THANKS!!!

Jets60,
I've got a little girl, actually three. Mine haven't gone, yet.
I say that they'll never leave, but I know inside that someday they will. Between you and Old Doll I'm getting teary eyed. Can't help it. gotta go for now.
Keep those songs coming.

Zurf,
The Tennesse Titans are lousy, their players can't keep out of trouble. The Nashville Predators Have no idea of what consistancy means. The Pred's did good once the whole time they were here, the ticket prices jumped, and the team has sold so few tickets that they have to look for new management. The Nashville sounds wanted to take some more of Nashville's money, luckily that fell through. All these teams came to Tennesse with the promise that they'd bring in money and Nashville hasn't seen anything from those multi-million dollar stadiums. Nashville is greed, just greed. The people wanted the money from those teams so bad that they didn't care about the price tags attatched to them. The only thing that has grown is the crime rate. We've got more drunks in a block than we did just ten years ago for the intire city.
Nashville is greed. The city paid out thinking that it was going to get back more than it invested. The wait is still on. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against the teams, I just don't want them all to be in Nashville. Karaoke has its place, but just not here.
I can't sing and I can except it. Nashville is full of those that can't except it and they'll get drunk just to prove they can.
Nashville is just a small L.A. People come to Nashville to try and make it in the music industry when just as many have made it in L.A. New York is second to Nashville when it comes to country music fans, and they don't even have any country music stations. Maybe some of the people that want to get discovered should go up to New York to Karaoke.
I've heard a few people that could sing, I think they do themselves more harm than good when they karaoke.

Zurf,
We've got Karaoke places all over Nashville. Everyone who thinks they are anyone will give it a try. They try because they hope that some big producer is sitting in the audience, and that they'll get Discovered. Something else is that the clubs and bars are full of people singing other people's songs because they can't create their own. Then you have those that sing routinly and do have a decent voice. Last you've got the drunks. Nashville is the toilet for drunks that can't sing, that of course they think they can.
As for any songs that get butchered by Karaoke, I'd like to redirect the question and ask, What songs haven't been butchered?"

trippy,
Don't try mainstream songs,
If you're looking for music then maybe try something Classical, or even some Jazz.
Music is more than just words. It's feelings and emotions. I listen to music for how I felt, how I feel, and how I want to feel. I listen to music that can be just plain fun.
I'm not intentionally putting anyone down, but personnally I don't like Bod Dylan's voice, but I think his songs are totally awesome. The music, the lyrics, the total nuance of it all.
I don't listen to his voice I go stairt to the music/lyrics. If you've found a song that sounds good, just ignore the words, since you're not looking for words anyway, and go strait to the music.
Have fun with the music and just enjoy the sounds that you create.
As was said in "Willie Wanka And The Chocolate Factory."
"You are the music maker, you are the dreamer of the dreams."

Find something, or create something. Just as long as you're enjoying it.

  Something else that wasn't mentioned, is that with some groups that perform live, they will post that noone is alloud to bring in any recording device, but in todays time a simple cell phone can be used to record and noone would know. Someone is always pirrating music or movies. Try to find out which songs would be ok and stick to those. You'll find that most artists and songwriters won't have a problem with anyone perfoming their material for fund raisers and non profit events, but if you're in it for the money then try and get written either permission or some other legal documentation.
I was once a story teller and I never had any problems with my story being retold, but then again I never did it for money and I never copy writed anything either.
If you stand out on a street coner singing a song, like" A country Boy Will Survive", and people stand around throwing dimes in a hat. Then you shouldn't have any problems, but when you are paid by a club or a venue then you'll definitely need permission. Most artists won't care about the nickel and dime, but when you start rolling in the dollars then they will take notice and want their share. There are a few artisist that don't care how much you make, they still want theirs. Take for instance,Garth Brooks, A few years ago there came an issue that the artists were collecting there share of money for the sell of new music, but he brought up the issue that there were a lot of albums being resold and he wasn't getting his cut. So in essence he wanted to be paid for the initial sale of an album and if that album got resold at a used music store then he wanted to get paid again.
     If you play for fun then don't worry to much, but if you play for pay then get documentation signed and notorized.

Jets,
That's really a great song. I've been married for three years. I'm not a romantic, and I'm not really sure what my wife ever found in me. My life has always been filled with violence. When I first met my wife she was the one that asked me out. She asked me out, but I was the one that asked her to marry me. She was insecure about the marriage, since she had been married twice before. I told her that I'd never been married before and I knew that she was the one for me. God sent her into my life. She was my gift from God. As the months pasted by, she finally said yes and we were married on August 23rd., The day after my birthday. We still have our ups and downs, but I believe that we are together because we were ment to be. I look forward to being married for as long as you have. The married life has changed me in many ways, of course I don't have to tell you that.
Congrats to you and your significant other on all your years together.

Old Doll,

Let me see if I can help to clarify. The music today is more show, it involves a lot of theatrics. The music of yestarday had no theatrics. Yestardays music had no television, so you heard it. If you can listen to a song/music and can injoy it then it's country/western, but if you have to see it then it's new country/western and to someone that lived yesterday then it isn't real. If you can feel it without seeing it then you've expierianced it. I've talked with people that thought John Denver was rock and John Denver sang folk/country and was known for folk/country. If Garth Brooks is country to you then so be it, but if you think it has more a pop or rock sound to it then so be it. Country, Western, Cowboy, etc..., it all has it's own sound, but to someone that don't listen to it all the time, it all sounds the same.

i can't think of anything new to play, or that sounds really cool on an acoustic, can someone help me please

SPUDS RULE!!!!

Try some John Denver or even some Elvis Costello. If your up for a challenge to to play something classical.

Have you ried looking on: ultimate-guitar

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I'm a correctional officer. Recently we've gotten in some instruments. Everyone has their own music preferences, but if you enjoy playing and you don't get to play that often you'll have a great appreciation for the music. We have numerous interests in music, but they'll all play together because of the common love for the music and not for any particular style or taste.
At home I'll eat peas, but not because I like them , but because they're good for the children and the children watch everything I say and do.
The music isn't just for me, but it's a common interest and we tolerate each others music because of the love we have for the music. What it boils down to is; it isn't about salsa, rock, country, 50's, 90's or anything else. It's about the common love for the music. If you love the music then you'll tolerate all music just to get to here your music.
