Sorry I missed this, my bad!!

I keep two acoustics Nashville tuned and two normal and yes the string tension is different for the Nashville strings and needed a truss rod adjustment.

As Doug has pointed out there are no restrictions (apart from new Members not being allowed to add links). As it is a couple of days since you posted this have you sorted it out or are you still having difficulties?

There was an update to Chordie earlier this year and there some Songbook issues mainly due Members not understanding the changes so it you search for 'add to songbook' you may find an answer posted previously, if not, post again here and we will see what we can do to resolve your problem.

Wow! There are some great and different versions of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright". Now I have completed  mine I have listened to them and commented on Soundcloud but I was unable to access the one from Easybeat. Well done all.

I will listen to "City of New Orleans" songs after I have recorded my own.

Hoping your venture turns out to be very profitable Bill. Take care and give Dondra a big hug from me.

The Beatles "Yesterday"

Someone not so clever -"As thick as two short planks"
Someone who is silly - "As daft as a brush"
Someone very slim - "Like a beanpole"
Someone who is poor - "Hasn't got two ha'pence to rub together" ( ha'pence = half a penny)

It has been a little hectic this month and I have only just had chance to listen to this month's songs. There are some great covers this month. Rickyjack's use of the harmonica, Peatle Jville's unique style of performing it, Jim's personalised verse (which I also used so he would get mentioned in it ), Amy's Axl Rose impression with the Back Yard Gathering, Mojo's and Joe's offerings are all impressive, Great job by everyone.

'Tom Dooley' is a song that I often use as a  first guitar lesson song as it is only two chords (of course I remember the Lonnie Donegan version) so here it is in 'G' for you. G and D7 are the first two chords I teach, then a student can go home after his/her first lesson and have a song to play, I also use 'He's Got The Whole World in His Hands' which is another two chord song.

Dino, it is not a competition, and no one is going to put you down if your singing is not perfect but, if you really do not want to sing, I see no reason why you cannot play the song and get a friend or family member to sing for (or with) you. It is all for a bit of fun and to see how different people interpret a song.

It would be a pleasure to hear something from you but no one would take umbrage if you do not.

If you reported spam by writing to a Moderator, the chances are it would have been dealt with by the time they received the message. If you use the 'Report' tag at the bottom right of the post then the post is flagged for all Moderators to see, then any one of us can ban the scumbag to prevent him posting any more garbage, but it has to wait for the section Moderator to be on line to remove the message. We try to have section Moderators in different time zones to get the best coverage but all of us are volunteers and we do have other commitments, so we cannot have 24/7 coverage.
