Beans, Beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel so eat beans at every meal!
Laughter and music are great medicine.
Oh, and it feels good to toot once in a while!
The tid bit was sent to me and I thought I'd share. Glad to bring a smile to your face. AL

Re: 2 old songs (10 replies, posted in Recording)
Hiya deadstring,
I tried to listen to the links but I don't think the url is right as it takes me to the Mediafire home page.Kenny
SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! Technology has left me with 8 traks.
Try this one.
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=6407 … 7f10aaff85
This fits me to a T except I have never had my own business.
I thought about the 30 year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures and communicated with Facebook and Twitter.
I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world.
My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife as everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. Seems I have to take my hearing aid out to use it and I got a little loud.
I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-ul-ating" You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then when I would make a right turn instead, it was not good.
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.
To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused but I never remember to take them in with me.
Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.
I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot."

Funny stuff!
Travis Tritt had a line in his song that went
" I spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e"
A little girl was singing it as "I spilled Tea all over you and me".

Believe it or not,to break the ice, this was the first song I sang for them at Christmas. I understand the humor in the above posts and Lord knows I have a sense of humor but I guess the reason I care about these men is that if it were not for the Grace of God I would probably be one of them.Enjoy.

Re: I'm going to prison (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Sorry for misleading you folks but I had to beg out of my plan. While showering my wife turned wrong and something popped in the back of her knee. She can't put much pressure on it and after church I had to run down a walker for her to use. She doesn't think anything is broken. She wouldn't go to the emergency room so we will see what tomorrow brings.

I am going to take a guitar and go spend some time inflicting my noise on the prisoners tomorrow. They (the ones who wanted to participate) enjoyed it at Christmas. I was received well and blessed. If they don't let me out you'll know it didn't go well.

Re: Google Chrome (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am having a problem with Chrome!
For an example, I was answering Russell's post on scam artists. I typed up an experience I had and went to the BBCode page to change the color of a sentence. When I tried to get back to my post there was no working arrow to bring me back. I couldn't find out how to get back and lost the whole post. Any ideas?
Also the spell check I used to use isn't working. I may just have to down load it again.

I real bummer!
I know it wouldn't be the same but what about playing in an open chord tuning perhaps using a slide? That would beat nothing and do away with the thought of selling.

Re: Ive lost my man to Chordie (18 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Secret to a lifelong marriage:
If you write or sing a song make it about her.
Name your boat after her.
Name your guitar after her.
Don't give your dog her name.

I recently saw a picture somewhere of a boat that the wife wanted named after her. He named it "UGLY ANNE".

Re: Thanks arkady, I have samples to be heard (11 replies, posted in Recording)
Hey Deadstring, very nice, very soothing and very nice cabin. I'm a rustic kinda guy. Mike
Thanks Mike.
The cabin is on a farm north of Bossier City, La. It belongs to a man I met before I retired. My part time job allows me to see many sun rises and sun sets and one morning I had my camera in my shirt pocket to capture the sunrise. I had to drop off a couple of men to the farm and I took a couple of shots of the cabin. I need to check back and find out the story behind it.

You have a mellow voice which is soothing and compliments the songs you sung.
Blessing to you.

Very nice indeedy.

Thank you Kenny. I have no original material to do but I like the old Hymns a lot anyway. I do a decent job on a song written in 1933 by Red Foley and Arthur Willis called "Old Shep" but I don't know if I need permission to post it.
