Hey this is a neat song and I can't wait to play it.  You have done well hinder_rox07.  Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys,
Agree with everything that has been written.  I am not a big fan of the internet but this site does it for me.  I love the songs that you guys write and the people here are neat.
I was born in 1958.  My mum was Scottish, my dad Samoan and we lived in both Samoa and New Zealand.
I train horses (trotters and pacers) and do security work at nights.
I was a soldier for many years and served in Asia, Africa, Middle East and a heap of other places that no one remembers
I have been playing the guitar on and off for a millon years and still muck it up.
I love music - any type.  One day I will post some of the songs I have written (Old Doll - it's not as easy as I thought!!!!  I am not great on the computer!!)
Hi to everyone in Chordie land.

Hey Rockerchick,
Yes 13 is a hard age for all the reasons that the others have said.  I have 4 daughters, 7 god-daughters and a whole heap more that I consider daughters and each and everyone of them has been 13 and each and everyone of them has found it hard.  So you're not alone out there.  If at sometime you find it hard to communicate with your folks, then put into a song !
Us parents get a bit mixed up also and we do and say things that we didn't mean to say and do.
You say you're been smart so far, that's cool Rockerchick, keep being smart, keep being honest and above all keep smiling.  Because before you know it 13 will seem like a distant memory.
Keep coming back to this site, the chordie people will help you.

Good Stuff Roger, I was - still am, a fan of Peters and Lee.  I too fell head over heels with the beautiful blonde lady!!!!!  No one does "The Crying Game" like Peters and Lee.

Couldn't agree with you more Zurf.  I too have been playing and singing heaps of songs that appear from our many talented chordians.  One of my daughters,a week or so ago asked what song I was playing and did I write it?  I answered no a friend of mine from Ireland wrote it (Old Doll).  Classic!  It could of quite easily been, Texas, Mississippi, Portugal or a number of other places around this beautiful world of ours.  Well done all you songwriters, keep them coming.

My favourite guitarist was............my dad.  No, he never had a number one record and he never performed in front of millions but he played and played and played for his family and freinds.  Each time someone asked him to play publicly, he would smile and say, "Hell No!  No one wants to hear this old Samoan."  But everyone did.  He could play anything.  He learnt on a a "coconut guitar"  Thats where the shell of a old dried out coconut is used with other peices of wood and made into a guitar, very similar to a uke.  They still make them the odd time but they are only good for one session!!!  Then you make another one!
Outside of my dad, I have many guitarists I love, but probably my favourite is David Gilmour.

Hey 25Frankster,
I am the same as you, self taught, and awhile ago when my 15 year old son asked me to teach him, I was at a blank!  However, going through the CAGED theory that acmecorp suggested was a great begining.  That got my son very interested and motivated.  Like everyone here on chordie, the amazment of oneself when you play those first few chords is infectious.  Especially when you realise that after all the practice, some things come esaily.  The main thing is to keep it fun.  Now my son plays with all his new musical friends and they have a ball.  He is now teaching me!!!
Good luck and you have a very rewarding project ahead of you.

Hey Old Doll,
Thank you for the link to The National Stud.  Beautiful Zen gardens and really complements the horsey side of things.  I just been racing a couple of mine up the island and I needed the atmosphere of a Zen garden, after they raced !!!  Hit in the pocket.  But worse was to come this morning when I sat down to watch Ireland play France in the Rugby World Cup.  I put what little I had left over on Ireland to trounce France.  But alas, it was not to be.  Samoa have been beaten by our neighbours Tonga.  Its the first time Tonga has beaten Samoa in years.  Oh what the hell...................its only a game.  However the All Blacks are doing well (because they have a lot of Samoans in the team!)
It's Saturday night here in town and while everyone here parties...................I am working.

Hey Old Doll,
I have been away a few days and return home to find this really romantic song of yours !  Love it and have been singing this for the past hour or more, crack up.  Well done again.

Hi David,
I am resonably new here too and I love 'popping' in and reading whats happening here.  Welcome.  And hey, no, I am not from Texas but I have heard of it!!!! LOL

Too hard to choose.  Both BRILLIANT !

Hey Daddy cool,
Neat song and I always wanted a rocking horse but never got one.  However, I am a horse trainer now so I am making up for lost time.  A few of my horses are "rockers" too.  Neat song well done.
