I've had electric and acoustic 12's. Love the fullness of the sound but the extra tuning and loss of speed as well as inability to string stretch makes them not worth the trouble except on a few certain songs.

Thank you so much for sharing that, Arkady.
I really enjoyed that. Good "moving down the road" music.

I am so proud you guys got to hear the kids jam. That is mega-fun.
I pray you get in on this many more times in the future.

I like 'em too. I shared 'em on Facebook.
Thanks, Pix.

I used to work with a saxophone player who played two saxes at the same time-playing two different notes. I was a gimmick but he could make it work on a simple song that was not too rangy.

The chord changes are written above the word in the lyrics where they hit. These are often on the down beat.
The chords at the end of the lyric line change every two beats.
You can figure out where the beats hit by tapping your foot along with the recording.

A1S, I liked that a lot. You did good, buddy.
Like yourself, I am a big Cat Stevens fan. His material is a big challenge for most of us.
"Moon Shadow" is fairly easy to do but I could not get a good enough job on "Morning Has Broken" by myself being only a strummer. The chords were fun though.
"Peace Train" kicked my butt but I was happy when I made my brother cry with "Father and Son".

My friend, John Reno bought one and plays it professionally. He has to fly to gigs often and the "Big Baby" in a soft case will just fit in the overhead bin.
He also bought a Bose personal P.A. system (load it in with just one trip). The guitar sounds great through his new rig. I played it and like the action. The sound is comparable to his two full-size Taylors.

The worst of it passed North of here.
Still, the wind blew so hard I saw a seagull have to lay the same egg three times.

Have our schedule firmed up.
I drive down April 27th. On April 28th, we play at the Friendly Fisherman Seafood Restaurant 1-5 P.M. at 150 John's Pass Boardwalk Place
Madeira Beach, Florida 33708-2625 Phone (U.S.) (941) 627-6025
I'm told it is a nice beach bar and eatery right on the beach near a channel where we can see boats going in and out.
On Friday, April 29th, we play "The Nav-A-Gator" 7-10 P.M.
9700 S.W. Riverview Cir. Acadia, Florida 34269 Phone (U.S.) (941) 627-3474. This is the place I told you guys about last year. Has to be the coolest waterfront bar anywhere.
Saturday, the 30th, we have a private house concert 6-10 P.M. Our hosts told me to bring a bathing suit. They haven't seen me in a bathing suit and no one EVER WILL. A portly geezer needs to wear something close as possible to a circus tent.
Hope to see Topdown while in that part of the world. I owe him a beer or twelve.
