hi TF. thanks for that, did a couple of gigs the weekend and apart from the top E going flat (which I've come to expect over the years) she's playing well.

I have to get one thing straight; I've never owned a BeeGees album. never seen "Saturday Night Fever" and if there had been anything else more interesting on TV at the time, I would have been watching that.

The jar I saved (at the cost of a couple of small dents to the Tele) was one of a pair we had bought in Turkey 10 years ago, so if it had broken, I don't think the wife would have actually killed me, but I would probably have wished to be dead. She gave me a little verbal over the guitar, I never mentioned the jar! It is made of marble and goes with the clock, fruit bowl and fruit and fire place and hearth. So you see why I saved the jar?

hi beamer. no i meant no harm and i suppose the word vagrant is more commonly used these days but alcohol never entered my thoughts. Maggie Coulter wasn't a drinker. a lot of people were made homeless over here during and after WW2, and that's when my song was set.

it's nice to hear a story of true compassion and Christian charity.

i see alot of thought went into this. reading between the lines i think there's more than a little angst coming out here?

nice one, and nice to see you giving the poets an offering.

dino, i guess the lesson there would be, if it aint broke, dont fix it. no idea who said that but it's true.

babio, welcome to chordie.
i've been living and learning for almost 50 years. and just living for 12 years before that. you never stop learning i find new stuff all the time, chord sequences, note progressions, but dropping your baby is a lesson i'll never forget.

Z, no it wasn't a bet, there was nothing else on TV.

rog. it was one of their last concerts i'm afraid. robin gibb? he of the natural tremolo voice?

gander, i normally find that guitars without character last longer. like my strat that i haven't played for years, i'll never get rid of it!

jeff. if there is a song there, it'll be a weepy.

beamer. my car is 5 years old. 20,000 miles on the clock (the average per year in the UK is 12,000 miles) and it's still running on the same tyres as when it came out of the shop. i was hoping i could work the same care on the tele.

thanks to all for your concern. phill x

thanks beamer, mine is a Hewlet Packard 250 gig, which doesn't work too good with Windows 7, so i guess i will format it and use it on the LP.

thanks for Ccleaner, put it on the PC & LT both say thanks they feel much healthier now.

see it is true; chordians do help each other

hi guys, Ccleaner...noted, i'll look for it when i get out of here. i already have an external HD, i use it on my PC, but i dont really need it there. prob is it has a recording prog on it that only works on XP, which i dont have any more, or likely to get in the future but i'm still hoping someone will come up with a compatibility prog...not going to happen i dont think...may just format and get a new one for the PC!

when i followed your link all i got was the walmart site with glass bowls and PS3 or something? FYI walmart is called ASDA in the UK.

thanks for the info

sorry, no i didn't, i had something else i had to do, i'll check again.

i know how you feel. i've been using a lap top for about 6 years. the first was that old it was on XP! i up-graded to a used vista 3 years ago without any real problems. i use the lap top and a mini disc player in my stage act, alternating between each so i dont get any embarrassing gaps.

the lady i bought it from has trashed 4 new lap tops in the mean time, so i thought i was doing well. till tonight!

last night i had a 6 hour gig, half hour on half hour off, the lap top was running all that time so when i went to start up tonight it gave me the blue screen! i tried everything i could think of. eventually i got it into "safe mode" then did a "restore" and took it back a month. thank god it's now working (i hope) and some stuff i lost a week ago is back. so fingers crossed. the other option was to delete the whole hard drive which would mean losing all my backing tracks. then re-recording the lot. i think i'd retire first.

hope you can get it back up and running soon.

as far as i can make it out, the singer/guitarist is using a capo on 2nd frett and playing a C-Am-F-C. actual chords are D-Bm-G-D. the chord progression remains the same all the way through.

hadnt thought of singing it. but i'm happy if someone would like to have a go at it.

thanks for the comments.

that's nice too russ. looks a little like a rickenbacker. i like the colouring, glad the pick-ups are not white though. you must have quite a collection now?
