Re: I Miss Those Days When Chordie Hopped (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Hey Phill - I enjoyed your additions and agree. There has been so much to love about Chordie over the years and much we all wish we could have passed on by. I also know those days might not be coming back so I'll tend to overlook the not-so-fun times if I may. I am sorry I wasn't able to get your verses into my song version (posted a few days earlier), but they would have fit well, and if you want you can make a new extended version.

Re: Best Advice (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Try writing songs, both lyrics, and chords. It's a great way to learn and express yourself. it also forces you to learn new chords to match the sound you're looking for.

I kind of revised my poem into this song. Missing the old days of chordie that I am sure many will remember. Fun little blues tune that I will try and record before the weekend is over.

Re: I Miss Those Days When Chordie Hopped (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Just an observation from me. I miss all my old chordie friends showing up here, too many to name, that I don't see on here much anymore, and the interaction that started me writing songs. Wouldn't it be nice if we had that here again? I know it might be a pipe dream but I do miss the old chordie days.

I Miss Those Days When Chordie Hopped
I miss those days when Chordie hopped
Music back then never had any end
I could search for songs that were easy to find
Insightful music about blew my mind
And the people I met there, the salt of the earth
Felt I knew them ever since my birth
Sharing ideas without any baggage
Writing new songs just like the old adage
Of the pennies we saved and the ounces prevent
Words so wise were heaven sent with some
Sages' advice seemed that never stopped
I miss those days when Chordie hopped

Another song I wrote for my wife after another shooting, this time in a small town in Texas not far from where we used to live. It was supposed to give her something more positive to think about on a sad day.

Re: Untitled (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Thanks, Jan and Phil - I like the idea of The other shoe to drop as the title. Now how to find the right music. Sounds kind of Prine-like in my head but I'll figure it out.
