Re: Lindsey Buckingham song... (8 replies, posted in Song requests)
Hey, joey. The song I'm looking for is "Dancin' Across the USA". It was the song that played during the closing credits of the movie. You are right, though, "Holiday Road" is also a good song, but the one I'm after has a really cool swing to it.
Thanks for the response.

Re: What are your favorite movies (28 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Guess I have a somewhat off-beat taste...
Most any movie with Dennis Hopper; "Blue Velvet", "Hoosiers", and he even made "Waterworld" almost tolerable ("This is really gonna mess up my short game!")
"Vampire's Kiss" with Nicholas Cage, and "Buckaroo Banzai" with Peter Weller and John Lithgow
The problem here is that there are so many good movies, it's almost impossible to think of them all!

Re: Do you ever substitute one guitar chord for another? (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I'm not a guitar player; banjo is my game, but I have found in some songs that I substitute an Em for the C because the C just doesn't sound right. Off hand I can only think of one that I do this on (haven't had my coffee yet!) is "Route 66".

Thanks, Zurf! Your advice did the trick. I think my main problem with me is I could write a book about all the stuff I don't know about computers!

Anyone play harmonica? I might be interested in learning. Over the holidays Guitar Center ran an ad for a 7 piece Hohner Piedmont set. Reviews say they are decent. I think I would get something diff tho. I would like a good harp, above decent anyway. Any suggestions?
I don't have time to play guitar, so when am I gonna try to learn harp....
I have been blowin' harp for a few years. Not the fancy chromatics with the button on the side. I play "Mississippi saxophone", or the 10 hole type. I really like the Hoener "special 20", it's basically the Marine Band (THE classic blues harp) but with a plastic body. Very comfortable to play, and very durable. The plastic body doesn't swell on ya like the wood does, when yer slobberin' and droolin' all over it! Good luck with it and as you get more into it, you'll find that it is a much more complicated instrument than first appearances would indicate!

Re: For WWII aviation lovers (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Love the B-17 too. What a tough, graceful work of art that plane was. The B-29 was also an awesome machine...pinnacle of piston engine aircraft design. Years ago, way back in the '80's, I was lucky enough to watch "Fifi" as she flew over Flathead Lake in Montana, flying from an airshow in Missoula to another airshow in Kalispell. She was about a mile away, maybe only 1,000 feet up...heard the engines for 5 minutes before we could see it. What a sight!

I love that old WWII iron! My favorite plane of that era was the F4-U Corsair. One BAD plane to tangle with, if you could get 'em back on the ground without crashing. I understand visibility was a nightmare when landing!

Guess they know what real music is down your way! Here in central Oregon, folks see my banjo and say "Gee, that's a funny-lookin' drum!".
Seriously, though, there are a few banjo pickers around, and I need to get goin' with some jams. I figure the best way to stick with it is to have some folks pushin' me to improve.

Hi, all
Just ran across this site in my never-ending quest for new material, so figured I'd just join up, and introduce myself!
Been pickin' on and off for a few years, and now I'm ready to get a little more serious about the whole proposition. I did a little browsin', and it looks like I'll find this site a valuable resource. I'm excited to find ya all here, I've been lookin' for a place like this!
Now, back to lookin' for an avitar pic that's small enough to fit! Don't give us much room for 'em on this board.
