Hey Doc I hope that you mean that you can make the Quebecers speak english and not french under hypnosis. The first time I read the post it almost sounded as if you were saying that most quebecois cannot speak french. as you know we are a french speaking provence. out of 7.5 million people here close to 80% only speak french. As you know my mother tongue is french and english is a second language for me.
Je suis juste un petit peu confus, je croit que la sytax de votre texte porte a confusion.
Bonne journee mon petit cousin Belge et bon week-end.

I don't know if you could call this funny or mean on my part but I was a teenager and a little drunk at the time. Some friends and I went to a local club to watch a band play. We slowly worked our way to the side of the very little stage and I found myself standing next to the drummer. The drummer always put foot powder on his hands to help stop the sweating. after the first set we noticed that one of the local guys who always managed to party on everyone elses dime came in. This guy was a pain in the a$$ as he never had money and would mooch cigarettes, drinks and stuff from anyone. So I get the bright idea to take the footpowder put a little on my pack of cigarettes and shape a few lines with it. Sure enough here comes our begger looking at the lines with envy. I asked him if he wanted to party with us and offered him the pack........... lets just say I've never seen someones eyes water and nose bleed so much. He never asked me for a single thing again.
As and adult now I see the danger in what I did yet it was a story that circulated in our circle of friends for quite a while. At the time we really got a good laugh over it!

Press 6 repeatedly if you are obsessive compulsive!

Great fishing here in Canada. Lots of wilderness and the salmon is great on the BBQ. I was salmon fishing in British Columbia quite a few years ago, when you leave in the morning with the boat you put out some crab traps and when you come in for lunch you have fresh crab to boil right on the shore.......mmmm yummy!

How did your move go?
...Badeye.
Hey Buy,
Haven't moved yet. Official date is sept. 4th still packing and sorting. Yes we do have a beautiful country. I've never had the pleasure of seeing the cabot trail yet but it is one of my plans for the future. Many friends and family have and have nothing bit praise for the region. I can say that I have been from coast to coast though and love the country so much more as I discover new people and places. Too bad some idiots want to split the country up. We have so much to share in such a wonderful country.
Michel
No not Rosemount I'm on the southshore of the island. I a few weeks I'm moving a little further, about 40mins away.
TO is good to avoid. I used to go there for work at least once a week. Montreal to TO has to be the most boring drive. 5 hours of trying not to hit deer on the 401....lol
Michel
Ah I'm in the suburbs of where the Habs play.
How are things in TO?
Michel
Great song and great pictures that make us Canadians proud.

One song from that era, which I took to heart, was "Cats In A Cradle" by Harry Chapin. I followed the lyrics to a tee and made sure that I did not fall into that rut described in the lyrics...I always made sure I had time for my children....
Hey Boris ,
What part of the great white north are you from?

Zurf wrote:I love Jim Croce music. I also love Gordon Lightfoot music, and was intrigued to discover that there was a connection between the two. Apparantly Gordon Lightfoot was already pretty big and caught Jim Croce's act somewhere, then to help him along by providing studio time and even asking his bass player to help. So if you're listening to some early Jim Croce and think that the bass playing sounds a lot like the bass lines in Gordon Lightfoot music - there's a reason for that!
With all due respect to DavidGrant, the only Jim Croce song I don't like is Time In A Bottle. In my junior high school, the choir did that song at every event. Ruined it for me.
Some favorite tunes, "Box #10", "New York's Not My Home", "Rapid Roy", "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues". As a side note, I am now a business executive and I STILL don't get to smoke on a big cigar and talk trash to the secretary. A few decades too late, I guess. Good thing, 'cause I'd make a lousy chauvenist pig.
I've got this two-disk collection of Jim Croce released by his widow on what would have been his 50th birthday. It includes some tracks recorded in his basement you won't find on any other album. A cover of Cigarettes, Whiskey, and Wild Women, a practically campfire raw version of Copperhead River and a version sung with his wife of Turn, Turn, Turn.

Hey Zurf I"m a Big Gordon Lightfoot fan also. I love to play Canadian Railroad Trilogy. He is a fantastic storyteller. Songs like The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald inspired me to take up guitar as a youngster. Also another artist that should have recieved more public attention.
Michel
Of all the artists we tend to write about seldom do we praise Jim Croce. Many of his songs may be considered cliches but as a singer/songwriter he wrote beautiful songs and inspired many.
Thoughts?
Michel
I have always found that the best way for me to figure out a pattern is to listen and then play the song with my eyes closed. It takes away other stimuli and helps me focus on the music.

How would you represent that? Like a timeline with 6 lines like written music and the different era's represented by notes which become progressively more modern until we reach chordie? You have some great ideas!
Thanks maybe I have a future in marketing. LOL

Hi Doc,
To "fret" over something means to worry or be concerned about something.
"Let it slide" means to let things go, or not to worry.
Michel
Thanks for the info Zurf. I know what you mean, too many great songs. I always tell myself that I should write down the titles when I hear them but never do. I guess I should at least try to record the title in my cell voice recorder......
Michel
Some songs we just forget about but a little reminder sometimes brings them back into our playlists.
Recently I have rediscovered
Fool On The Hill - The Beatles
Another Saturday Night - Cat Stevens
Fun to play and great songs .....
Have you rediscovered any songs lately?
Michel
Thanks Ken,
I like your idea. Now we just have to decide on which cord how about Bm7b5?
Michel
Daughters- John Mayer
Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan
Wanted Dead or Alive- Bon Jovi
Looking out my Back Door- CCR
I Will Survive- Gloria Gainer

Cool.......I can see the headlines;
Cricket Eating Contest---They're Churpin'/You're Burpin'--
Thats very funny......
Last years winner ate 2563 crickets in 5mins 32 secs. This year he is looking to break the record by 15 crickets or 7 secs. Unfortunatly his trainning season was cut shot as he had to move because the neighbors were complaining about all the birds in the area.

The image would have to be just right. I like Nadines idea about an abstract image as we have more then just guitar players on the site. Ukes, Mandolins, Banjos, ...... a general image would be good.
The Chordie logo could be on a pick.
I have an image in my mind of a cartoon. A chordian brings his guitar to a luther and explains that he has to have the internet connection on his guitar fixed.
or
askes about the cost of the same model with a USB port factory installed
well something along those lines.
