Hey, Mo'
I forgot to mention that I did learn a little guitar while in the USAF. One of my squaddies taught me barre chords to the tune of Frijid Pink's "Venus", remember that one?
Sadly until I heard he didn't make it out of Nam, I kept trying to find him. Charlie's on that big black wall now .
You're a great performer of your stuff. Make me a cd, autograph it and send it to me.
I might need to make some money on eBay one day.

mojo01...There is a another song you have on soundcloud that got to me. "Johnny" is a great piece of work. You have a talent I wish I shared.
a few friends and i started a non profit to help wounded veterans , we set up camping and hunting trips here locally in east Texas. when Cecil got wacked and they started writing songs for him it set me to thinking and Johnny was result( no I am not defending the dentist for killing a lion in a canned hunt) I am planning on playing that song at our next event and I am wondering how the veterans will like it.

I love the way people are having a go at your lyrics. I would like to see a International movement formed called
If Sunshine Were Mine. With all sorts of musicians giving their take on your lyrics to that song and putting them up on soundcloud. I have put my version up on soundcloud under Peatle Jville which I think is not that good but the best I could do so at the moment I place myself at third place getter.
So far three countries have submitted I would like to hear more from every where. Mo and Phill love your versions.
I hope more New Zealanders would give it ago as the Northern Hemisphere has got the lead at the moment.

Re: whatmakes a hit? (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I had this discussion with my guitar playing buddy tonight, he goes with the catchy tune and hook theory, but I think funsters point has a lot of merit. I pointed out that any artist with a following could take a song that he or I wrote and make a hit with it. for instanced jimmy buffet could record a song from chordie and parrot heads would buy it just because jimmy recorded it. have you listened to country music lately? there are songs here ten times better than what's being passed as country music. because as funster points out they have the platform to sell it.
bottom line for me is I have zero musical training, no idea how a song should be structured other than what I have heard on the radio my whole life. so I write songs that I like and sound good to me. some with a hook some with out. and now my pickle jar is empty so until my next post

ok so I been hitting the pickle juice and musicating (thinking) , I have been posting songs here for a few months now because I wanted the opinions of someone other than friends and family on my song writing.( which by the way the way I feel like I have made a lot of new friends here). my pickle juice induced observations are this ,some of the songs that I thought were really good got the fewest comments some that I thought were so so seem to be the most liked by others. go figure. ok my glass is empty curious to hear others thoughts on this while refill my glass

You've got a great tune there. I enjoyed the heck out of playing along with you on it.
I'll throw some beer's your way if you let me put it up on soundcloud after I get it down a bit better and maybe add in some harmonica.
I play regularly with 5 others, just for fun, and I would like to bring this song into the group also. I'm sure they will like it.Thanks.
well looks like my music is finally paying off all I got to do is drive coast to coast to pick up my brews . look forward to hearing what you do with it Rickyjack

Re: Taylor or Martin (10 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Tenement Funster wrote:
Personally, I'd ask the question: Larrivee or Eastman?. Taylors and Martins are great instruments, but I find them somewhat over-priced when comparing them to their equivalents (construction, wood types, features, etc.) in either the Larrivee or Eastman lines. Taylor and Martin both have extensive marketing campaigns, and that cost has to be built into the price somewhere. Nike, Under Armour, Shimano, Columbia, etc. are other brands which share this same "affliction".
Don't get me wrong ... you will get an awesome instrument with either a Taylor or Martin, and your ears (sound) and hands (play-ability) will help you decide.
I concur with funster and I am biased as I own two Taylors a 510 and a T5 Z but I also own a takamini Jasmine that I paid 300 bucks for 25 years ago that I would not trade for anything. half the recordings I have on sound cloud were done with the Jasmine . having said that I did choose the 510 over the Martins in the same price range and a Taylor 710 that was more expensive but the 510 spoke to me as they say . buy one that speaks to you and cant go wrong no matter the brand
