Thanks, DC.
It's up on my site now. Not real happy with it, but I'm working on it. I'll probably replace what's there soon.
Appreciate the comments.

points well taken, UYK.
I am glad you didn't start throwing rotten to-mah-tos at me!
Maybe we should all just speak Esperanto - much less confusing. A very precise and logical language!
Hey, welder music guy...
There is a pretty good set of destructions here

These guys really look out for you. Can't wait to see something!
New Kids in the Sink - another fan of VeggieTales I see. VeggieTales are great. My favorite of them is Lyle the Kindly Viking. That whole sendup of Rogers and Hammerstein is hilarious. My wife and I have watched it when the kids were in bed. If you get the chance and have it on DVD, you should watch Jonah with the running commentary. Larry and Mr. Lunt provide the commentary. The porcupines were out of work Swedes Mr. Lunt 'discovered.' Hilarious.

um...
is that the one with the cucumber? I think he's named after me (Larry?).
My daughter had one of their movies, I think, but I'm not as intimately familiar with them as you seem to be, there, Zurfie...
Maybe someone ate too much paste as a kid?

Hey, James! I stopped by your space and was surprised with this one! love the words "Either you are eating, or else you will be eat..." That's awesome.
Really cool song. love the idea, the lyrics, the music, and the playing.
Kudos!
Audacity is perfect for me.
Don't need the expensive bells and whistles, and cant afford actual studio equipment, so I just play around on the PC, and, at least, I can record and replay myself, which I think is very helpful.
And you gotta love the price.
At the risk of dating myself again, Cake Walk used to be "the" program. I ran it on a 386 computer back when having Prodigy was cool and the internet was a rumor!!1
That's how I remember it too, so we will both reveal our ages!
We were running a Tandy 80286!
It had a HUGE, never-to-be-filled-up 10Mg hard drive! (I think it cost like $4k)
Those were the days!
Yeah, I think that is the mental struggle this song talks about:
Whether we direct our hatred at the people or the act.
It is hard to exact vengence on an act, so people often tend to get in the way.
We are told our entire lives that it is bad to hate, and that people are people, and a bunch of other cliches that mean "turn the other cheek", but sometimes what we need to do is not "hug our brother" but punch him in the neck.
I think a lot of people are struggling with that.
When is it okay to be pissed off and act on that pissed-offedness, and when is it not?
So, instead of burning buildings and blowing up cars, I write a song. Not very heroic, but safer.
I had this problem with mine, que.
I found that if I loosened the truss rod (which allows the neck to be pulled more when the strings are tight) it went away.
This will raise your action some, so you need to find the right balance between no buzz and playability.
I had thought about filing a fret, but didn't have the guts. (I'm scared to do anything like that with my box, because, if I screw it up, I can't afford a new one right now).
I'm not sure you would be able to see a neck that was slightly bowed. Maybe just loosen it a little and see what happens.
Edit - I just realized this was in the "Electric" forum. Sorry for that. I was talking about my acoustic. Maybe the same for electric, I don't know. Never had one.
Zurf!
We must be kin.
My aging rotund behind has been known to cut a mean rug listening to my daughter's "Aaron Carter" and "New Kids In The Sink" CDs. (curtains drawn, doors locked, of course).
Crap, how comfortable have I become in such a short time to share this? I guess the anonymity of text is liberating!
And why did we have to get our beloved "MARATHON " bars changed to SNICKERS to go in line with everyone else?
and not just things you eat, Oil of Ulay is now known as ???????? whatever they called it.and I never call tomato sauce "ketchup" it is tomato sauce, always has been always will
and why pronounce it "to- mae- to"? it is "to- matto" always has been always will be
ye even call alluminium slightly different. Is it Allumium or something like that? it is alluminium, always has been always .....
Ken
Okay... (so many inequities to rectify here, where do I start?)
First - The Marathon bar was nothing like a snickers. It was a lump of caramel covered with chocolate. Called "Marathon" because it took a long time to eat one.
Second - Ketchup is a sugary, nauseating blend of tomato (say it with me, "Toe-May-Toe") and spices. Not "tomato sauce". Tomato sauce is what is used to make spaghetti sauce and pizza. If ketchup (or Catsup) were ever used for this, the perpetrator should be drug into the street and shot.:)
Next - A-l-u-m-i-n-u-m. That is the appropriate way to spell this word. It is pronounced "Al-oo-min-um". Your version, aluminium, is a "British Variation".
Also - Why must folks put unnecessary and useless letters into perfectly good words? Examples are "catalog" (why catalogue?) and "color" (not colour). This only serves to alienate and confuse the Americans (which isn't very difficult).
We are a simple folk. I think that we Americans have simplified our language because we realize that there is little chance the Queen might pop in for a crumpet at high tea, so why worry with all the high-sounding rhetoric?
Our biggest concerns were not dying of malnutrition or disease, and being able to communicate with the Native Americans while we weren't killing them, while the Brits were worried about soiling their ascots with a bit 'o Earl Gray, and what were those infernal colonists up to now?
Now that we have this all figured out, we Americans will continue to bastardize and hack up any language we can get our hands on to fit into our narrow, but accurate, view of our world!
We're like that, you know!

Welcome from the east coast, Tone Freak!
I am sure, like I, you will find this place interesting, welcoming, and a lot of fun!
Enjoy!

Me likey.
Back in the day, I used to work for a church bell company. We had some electronic systems that played a sampled bell for those who couldn't afford our "real deal". We used a program called "Cake Walk". I thought it was pretty user friendly, and could do a lot of cool stuff. Don't know if it is still out, or how expensive it is, but maybe worth a Google?
Thanks for the input, geoaguiar.
My current is a "Jasmine" by Takamine, and I think it is a good quality instrument, for the price (about $150?). The enjoyment I have gotten from it has made me look to Takamines first.
Although, there are some other great sounding guitars out there...
Please to be posting.
music good.
Okay, I have received much pointed criticism for this song, not for the composition, or the music, but for the message.
Keep in mind, this was written (as a poem) just after 9-11.
I don't apologize for my feelings, but I am sorry that it is so long.
Ark,
Got it.
I had gone to "Webfetti" before, but couldn't figure out where to put the code. The pimp site gave me very clear destructions!
Thanks!
Thanks, Ark...
I have been wondering how to make my space all purty-like!
I'll check it out.
Yeah, SouthPaw, that's it! Pe-chew-li; Pu-chiw-lea... dang it. I'll get it
Do you have some beads I can borrow!? (I assume you have already picked out your wicker coffin? If not, I'm sure Old Doll knows someone!)
Thanks, Phil. I'm still fidgeting with my very modest set up. I'm going to shop for some mics this weekend. I think the software I am using has some reverb option, I will look into that. I recorded another one (Lonely Man) a while ago and used a little reverb on it. I like how that one sounds (much "bigger" sound, I think).
And despite your wanting them all to move, I'm sure it's nice to have them close by! You must have done something right with them. I know the first thing I wanted to do was move as far from my father as geographically possible! (Went to CA right out of boot camp!)
Is that like wicker?
I envision a large (very large, for me!) hand-woven dried grass box.
Interesting.
I guess I'll have to start growing my hair out, and wear flip-flops!.
I need to get some of that stuff that makes you smell like dirt. What is that called?
daggone hippies.
I am glad you like it! I don't know if I should be the "go to" or not, I just hit on one that I liked, and you got me started with the Em!
I would be excited to take a stab at anything you need help with!
I have noticed, though, some of the chordians questioning the posting of music-less lyrics (aka poems), so maybe you should e-mail me anything else, and, when I post it, I will give you the lyrical credit, or I can send it back to you for posting!
I didn't know if anyone actually looked at the lyrics or not. On your advice, I will post them today!
Thanks, so much, for your kind words. (Yeah, I get a little impatient!)
I'm a nightowl! I can sleep when I'm in a pine box!
Man. That's nice, jets.
It's cool to have someone there for you.
I have taken the liberty of recording this. It should be on my site soon.
I kind of like it...
