I am told it is vodka and ginger beer, I do remember it was pretty tasty. like I said ive  only drank them on one occasion.
I truly appreciate your humble opinion. thanks for the compliment.

Vodka, ginger beer and a splash of lime juice is how i make 'em. Properly served in a copper mug. Yummy!

Nice song too!

A heck of a band that aged well - sounded great last time I saw them as well as the first - and those 2 shows were over 30 years apart! I bet I've seen them 8 or 10 times in between!

Happy NGD Dino - Tak's are at the top of the list for offering most bang for your bucks guitars - My first purchase after a beginner guitar was a Tak and I still enjoy playing her. Well done!

Happy NGD JX3! I really want to see this ceramic kangaroo - is it life size? Does it play the guitar?

Wayne knows the blues or folk and traditional

For Breaking News or Upcoming Events - whatever - Per has offered to promote chordiestock IV, so I think a picture of the banner would be cool

Pretty cool - thanks for sharing ujb

Zurf - From what you've told me about Garuchi, he will fit right in and I'm looking forward to meeting him!

Rockey - Sure hope you can make it. If you like having a good time, I can pretty well assure you, you will find it at chordiestock!

BGD - Joe - This party needs you and you need this party. Got a feeling chordiestock IV is gonna be the best one yet! (Until V of course!). Be sure to invite Matt and his wife to join in.

Last year we strayed a little from our roots and had a plugged in jam on Saturday for several hours. This year, I have set aside Friday for those who want to plug in - I'll set those folks up inside so we don't blow the neighbors too far away. Acoustic pickers can still have the back porch on Friday and Saturday will be an acoustic campfire jam as is our tradition.

Kim Carnes was not the original artist of Bette Davis Eyes, but made the song popular in 1981 - a version is hosted here on chordie

Our friend Bax recommends a drop of Super Glue on the fingertips to help? Have you tried this, Top?

Bill

Thanks for the recommendation SBB, but I'm going to take my punishment like a man - no superglue, no nylon strings - I'm gonna play until my fingers bleed and earn my calluses back!

Had so much fun today playing with Toney, Wyatt, Steve, Roger and Roscoe! (Chordiestock folks know these guys). Shame on me for neglecting my guitars - they bring me so much joy, I vow to never let this happen again!

And Zurf - I wasn't blaming you at all - I was stuck in a rut. After playing with Rosco tonight, I'm newly motivated and determined to learn some bluegrass (I think those are the ones with B chords smile ). 90 yo and still going strong - love that man.

For about 8 years I've been playing guitar pretty steadily - almost on a daily basis - at least a few times a week. This is the first time I've ever neglected my guitars. Since the June camping shindig with Zurf, I probably haven't picked up a guitar for more than a couple of hours total. No real reason, just busy I guess.

Later today I am hosting a mini-chordiestock and have been playing a little last night and this morning. Yikes! my fingers hurt - calluses are GONE! Lesson learned - don't let this happen again!

Jeff. Madeira Beach, Florida

Bumping this post back up - 4 months or so away - so far the only chordie probables are from Dirty Ed and Zurf (well Zurf is a given). A few maybe's - beamer, uncle joe, wayne, strummerboy. Anybody else making plans? I sure hope BGD can come this year and that Normtheguitar can make it again! It sounds pretty likely there will be an extra special guest star this year, Hint - he is Norwegian, his name starts with a P and is primarily responsible for enabling this wonderful family of chordians to meet one another.

I'm going to publicize a previously private tradition. As a frequent traveler, I have an abundance of airline miles - more than I will ever use. In years past, I have always treated a couple chordians to free airfare. (Unfortunately, these are with Southwest and do not apply to those across the pond). I plan on doing the same thing this year, so if you are on the fence and the cost of a flight is what's holding you back, please send me a private message - I'll see what I can do smile

Post a link or a send me the chords you are using. I could use some motivation  - I've picked up my guitar for less than an hour since our last visit. I need to learn some new songs badly!

I need to stay a weekend next time I'm in DC and go tasting and jammin' with you.

Yes you do.

I want in on this party. Just sayin'

Just want to bump this post and gauge the early interest. I've created a facebook event page and sent invites to those who are friends there. If you are on facebook, and haven't friended me yet look me up. Jeff Taylor. Hope some of those folks from across the pond can make it again this year. I figure I can squeeze 8 guests or so in the house, plus maybe a few outside in tents - let me know if you need accommodations. I'll make an airline run to Tampa on Thursday afternoon / evening and again on Monday morning -there are cheap shuttle options if those dates / times work into your plans.

Ask anybody who has attended any of the first 3 - this is a party you don't want to miss and gets better every year!
