Hello Phil,  Looks as if admin and I were doing the same thing at the same time.  Hope the changes meet with your approval.  James McCormick

Hello Kraml - There are plenty of 'tabs-only' songs here in chordie's index.
To simplfy your hunt (eliminate songs with chords) do this:

1) Go to an artist's page in the index.
2) In the upper-right corner of that page (right above the Wikipedia synopsis) is a button that says 'Showing All Songs'.
3) Hit the 'change' button there, and then specify 'Show Only Tabs'.

This will sift out all the non-tab listings for that artist.
Good luck learning to use tabs - hope this helps!
James

The armless guitarist in the videos is in a band now - here is their website:

Lady and Gentlemen, thanks for the positive feedback!  In telling this little story, I really didn't want to come across as some kind of crusty old perv - because I'm not.

It's just that seeing a lovely young lady now is a totally different experience since my own daughter is also a lovely young lady.  This little story really did happen and the moment is still quite vivid in my memory.  James

Hello Mark - this is a dandy love song.  Uplifting emotions honestly portrayed are always good fodder for songs - I really like this one's vulnerability and enthusiam.  Ain't love grand?  James

I can agree with Altex's statement regarding the usefulness of learning piano.  You don't have to become a piano whiz - just use it as a learning aid.  It is a great tool for grasping basic music theory and becoming familiar with essential knowledge.  Even if you have no dreams of performing piano, it is worth learning your way around a keyboard.

Having a 'real' piano is nice, but even a little cheapo plastic keyboard is useful for learning about music theory.  You don't need to learn how to read music (although it is good to know) to benefit from knowing piano basics.

Google up 'on-line piano lessons' or 'free piano lessons' to see what is out there.

Also, if you have a piano that has been sitting around for years unused, or has been moved to new residences repeatedly - the instrument could probably benefit from a professional tuning and regulating.  Every area has professional piano tuners and many of these pros also deal in used and re-conditioned instruments.  James

Exquisite!  One of my favorite outdoor activities is to sit quietly and just observe with all my senses.  Watching bugs and birds is endlessly entertaining and mysterious for me.

We have owls that habitually roost in our trees just before dawn.  We can often find 'castings' that contain all the undigestable bones and bits from the critters they have consumed.  A friend of ours is a hummingbird lover - we can sit in their yard and be serenaded by the thrum and zoom of these wondrous acrobats.

Beautiful poety, Old Doll . . . thanks!  james

Hi Blake!  Such a lovely song - beautifully conceived and executed.  Like the chords since they seem to lend themselves to a whimsical yet bittersweet melody line.

When our daughter was first dating and beginning to learn about boys (not that there is a whole lot to know) my wife would always ask her "Does he love his Mamma?"  Seems silly, but in my wife's wisdom, she knows that any young man who has a healthy relationship with his mother is probably going to be a nice fellow.

From reading this song, I'm guessing you love your Mamma - and that she knows that.  Congratulations for a very nifty song.  Hope to her you sing it.  James
(Oh  - I put the voodoo codes in for you.  Open your posting with the 'edit' button to see what the voodoo codes are like for next time.)

I don't have alot of digital images of my own, so I used Google Image search to find what I am using.  After finding something suitable, I copied the image onto my desktop.  I then simply marked out a small chunk of it with the mouse, copied that little piece, and that is what I use.

I wanted something that was simple, graphic, and essentially meaningless - hence the black & white dots.  James

Roger & Donna, thanks for the feedback.  Donna, I do not have a myspace yet - will get around to it soon.  Bigdummycide is not in the dictionary (yet) but it probably should be - I came up with while riding my bicycle and mulling my friend's comments. 

Roger, I'm glad that the moving part of your move is complete - now you just have to deal with getting your stuff and your cats re-deployed.  Glad that my song could motivate you to get the guitar out from under a pile.  James

Thanks, Rooster3 - I had a blast writing this one.  Hope to do some more fairy tales soon.
James
