I can't sing for shyt. I play and sing for fun and my own amusement. Jerome posted a long time ago that singing is 95% attitude. So I try to sing with a attitude that shows my enjoyment. I hope folks enjoy my enthusiasm and can ignore my tone.

Congrats BGD - Fatherhood will be the best and most frustrating thing you have ever been through. I've raised 3 and wouldn't give them up for anything.
The first tune that came to mind was "Isn't She Lovely" - Stevie Wonder. Although not really a guitar song, I have no doubt you can do it justice.

At home, a short skirt or naked are both preferred over wearing "pants". Of course, in public I would wear a pair of shorts.

Oh my gosh Jeff! You may need to go buy a pair of pants, and some socks.
You have no idea how much I hate wearing pants when I am not working - It's miserable I'm telling ya!

OK folks - I know I have been bragging about the weather here in The Sunshine State, but we are even getting a taste of winter this week. It's nothing like my friends up north are dealing with, but we are expecting highs in the 40's tomorrow with lows tomorrow night near freezing! I haven't seen freezing temps since I've lived here - I have to search through the boxes in my attic for socks! Even worse, I have fresh tomato and pepper plants in the ground and may lose them if the temp gets below 32 for too long. Yikes!
No worries - back to the 70's this weekend

Please email Per if you find the site is down: admin AT chordie.com. Sometimes the server freezes up and he simply needs to re-boot. As chordie is just a hobby for him, it is not regularly monitored. Typically, when I email him, the site is back up within 5 minutes (unless he is sleeping or out of town of course).

We had a PA last year and it never got used. No - like Zurf and DE say, this is more of a campfire circle. There might be a few guys plugged in to provide electric lead licks and I suspect a bass player may plug in as well, but it is very much an acoustic jam.

Re: A Rock Group Plays With Music Stands (35 replies, posted in Electric)
Don't kid yourselves - popular bands have been using teleprompters for many years. Those things on the floor that look like monitors (speakers) - guess what - many times they are monitors. Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Bon Jovi, yes even Paul McCartney (and even I know the lyrics to most of his songs!) use them. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me!
