Topic: For TIGLJK (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I have been following your songwriting tread with interest. I hope that it gets completed as, to the best of my knowledge, it has only been done once before (albeit slightly differently) in 2008.
It started here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9548
and finished here: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9837
and the finished song is still on Myspace if you follow the link.
OK it was my idea, which is why it comes to mind; it was fun to do but a lot of work and much private communication to get everything together.
Good Luck, I have my finger crossed for another Chordie collaboration.
Roger
P.S. There is also a third post, a very long one, explaining the ins and outs of getting it done: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9844
and if you read that you are a real glutton for punishment 
** I just noticed that the second link listed was the same as the first.... 'Senior Moment'. I have amended it now **

Re: Scroll function (11 replies, posted in About Chordie)
It is working fine on my laptop using Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer.
If you are having difficulties please give details of what you are trying to use it on. There are so many different ways of accessing the internet these days that you have to be more specific with what you are using, what software and browser, to enable Per to resolve these issues.

Topic: Artist vs. Artiste (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Selso's question has reminded me of one of my queries. I was brought up with the following definitions:
To me an artist is a guy/gal who draws, paints or sculpts.
A person who performs (be it acting, dancing or music) is an artiste.
The pronunciation and spelling is different, but I have noticed on TV and in magazines/papers this definition does not seem to be used much.
Has it been officially changed? Is it due to laziness and auto spell-checking? Or are youngsters just not taught correct English these days?

Could it be as simple as a screen resolution problem forcing the boxes out of sight? Please try holding the 'ctrl' button and pressing '-' and see if it brings it back in view.

Re: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Hi Ken,
Great to see you about; as Ark stated a rather dark view, but a sign of the times. Only the bad makes the news, the good is ignored and that does not help our perspective on life. You are absolutely right we "DON'T WANT IT, DON'T NEED IT, DON'T WANT IT".
I hope all is well with you.

Re: Backyard Gathering 2015 - Chordie Friends (117 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Amy,
I have been looking into getting to you and I am afraid that it needs two stop-overs and if:
I leave Faro at 11:30, I get to Dublin at 14:25;
I then leave Dublin at 16:00 to get to New York at 23:30;
then I leave New York at 02:40 to get to Syracuse at 04:07 (local time 23:07).
That is 17.5 hours travelling without having to worry about getting to yours from there............

See you in August.

Re: NGD LUST (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
If yours had a slanted bridge PU then it must have had a single and these all have humbuckers which cannot be slanted. Personally I like the SSH set up better than the SSS.
Nice looking guitars; better get putting those dimes away.

Re: Happy NGD to me :) (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Doug rest assured I am not getting addicted. I only have 4 electric and 4 acoustic guitars plus a uke, mandolin and violin. So I am well with normal tolerances.
Looks like I am going to have to learn some Brad Paisley and definitely his 'Alcohol' song for Chordiefest IV.

Sorry for your loss Ken.
You spoke about Steve to me at Chordiestock and how he hoped to get all his buddies together for a last party and for you to sing for him, I am sorry he paddled away up that last river before it could be arranged.
Condolences to you and his family and I hope you and Jen are OK,

Re: CHORDIESTOCK III - 3/13/15 - 3/15/15 - save the date! (204 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A BIG, BIG thank you to Jeff for his hospitality.
Fantastic meeting, playing with and listening to everyone there; great to meet face to face people who I have known for years and never met and to also meet some I had only heard of (the incredible Roscoe to name but one).
Voice still a little husky from all the singing. Jeff's neighbour, Georgia, is a very demanding woman. She got me out of bed to sing a lullaby to her daughter and the following day dragged me to her house to sing a couple of love songs to her mum. (I enjoyed every minute of it, really).
I have just got home after being on the go for nearly 30 hours apart from some very disturbed and uncomfortable naps whilst flying, but, my goodness it was worth it.
Started saving for next years Chordiestock .

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Toney Hall at Jimmy Guana's. I have known Toney for about 10 years on Chordie and have wanted to see him perform. It has taken 10 years but the wait has been worth it. Not only is he an extremely talented and accomplished artiste he is a great guy to boot and has a lovely wife and two wonderful children.
Here is a video of him: http://youtu.be/FMpyDEuVGeM

Re: Larger Font (1 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi there Roy (I think) and welcome the forum,
I assume you mean the size options with each song, the three green A's, if so, they do not give you just three font size options.
The smaller one, on the left, will make the print smaller each time you click it.
The centre one reverts to the default size.
The largest one, on the right, will make the print larger each time you click it.
I hope that clears it up for you, or if I have misunderstood your query please let me know.
