Thanks Roger and Old Doll.
And it is nice to meet some more of the Chordie faithful members!
I think this will be a nice place to hang out!

many thanks for the kind words.
sadly, sometimes "too late" comes too early.
Topdown... I have to agree. The blues created what is now thought of as "American music", and Ray Charles (along with a bunch of others) really brought the blues to the forefront. Listen to the "Crying Time" album to hear how some of our popular country hits sounded before they were "country".
Yeah, I know he is from Canadia, I guess I lost the point of the thread...
but he does own property in Montana (I think), and he is a "North American" as opposed to a European?
(I'm reaching here, I know...)
Show the father of grunge some love!
I thought this was interesting. I wrote this maybe ten years ago, and most of it is still current... How little we really change.

You are the first person I have "met"! Thanks!
I am enjoying Chordie so far, and look forward to meeting some of the other members.
Is there a "welcome to chordie" thread, or a "how the heck are you" thread or anything like that?
I can't recall any Hancocks at the moment... My wife was born and raised here, I'll ask her.
I'm an Ohio Buckeye by birth, Virginian by marriage.
I seem to remember a Ronnie Hancock, but can't remember from where...
Nice, scrimmy.
I just posted a song about my 12 y/o.
I am constantly amazed at how an unassuming little girl who plays with dolls (in pigtails, no less) can make even the biggest, burliest man weak in the knees.
Well done, sir. I will try to learn this one.
Thanks, Southpaw...
I thought time started to go by faster when I got out of High School.
Having her has increased the speed of time exponentially.
Written for my "bug" - 12 y/o daughter.
Simple, but I like it... (I fingerpick a simple 4/4)
I know this is an old post, and probably forgotten about, along with a lot of the other "who was the best" threads, but I thought this one was interesting.
It began asking about the most "influential" which, to me, brings up an entirely different set than "most famous".
I was surprised to see that Neil Young and Bob Dylan were not mentioned here...
(I looked again, and did see Bob Dylan listed once, sorry.)
These two, along with John Denver, were, in my humble estimation, among the most influential artists of their times. Not necessarily for the songs they recorded, but for the music they wrote which is often credited to other artists (Peter, Paul, and Mary come to mind because they were mentioned before) because they made the songs popular.
On another note, I saw that Guy Davis was also mentioned here. While I am a huge fan of his, I really don't know if he could be said to have influenced a lot of music. I rather think of him as an artist of tribute to some of the pioneers in blues like Robert Johnson and Son House. Guy once said that he never picked cotton, but he listened to a lot of cotton pickers growing up, and I think he is doing a tremendous job of carrying on their traditions.
good thread. made me think a little
I do a little of both. When I finger, I like to use a thumb pick to really thump it. A friend of mine (who has since moved back to Germany) had a thumb pick with which he could strum. It had a very narrow pick area, and was separated (split-like) where it joined the thumb so that it didn't fly off of his thumb on the upstroke.
Pretty cool pick, I need to find one...
Would it be easier to play the songs as written and use a capo to get "in key" with the wifey?
