Love Ripple - I tried it a long time ago, but at the time struggled with the Hammers / Pulls - I just printed it again and will work on it. Great tune!

Deep Ellum Blues is a simple strummer I enjoy. I play it in E, with an E7, A7 and B or B7 tossed in. Again - I'm just a strummer but if TubaT or Pix anybody else can add some lead licks, it's a fun jam type tune.

Pix - Another song just came to mind - Didn't you post that you were working on "The Girl From Ipanema" some time ago? That's a song I'd like to learn - what chords / tabs do you use for that one? Remember - I've only got 5 fingers on my fretting hand.

^ Sorry to hear about your wife's family member. I've told you earlier, my wife works at Forsyth and our home is only a few miles away - If we can help in any way, just let us know.
I sure hope you can make it on the 20th - the wife and any other family are also welcome. Don't worry about your ability, Pix and TubaT are accomplished, but I will just be strumming along.

Sure toots - bring whatever you can fit - The only thing I have in the way of electronics is a 15W Crate acoustic amp (rarely used) - but I'd love to toy around with some amplification. If it's too big for the music room, we'll move it to the garage which is right besides the man cave. I've got a friend who plays the drums and I'll try to get him to drag down his kit and join us.
Feel free to email me any time.

CAM - Are you out there? Sure would love to have ya.
Toots - I hope you can make, and if you can bring your tuba, do it! If it's easier for you to drive up a day ahead of time, we can make that work.
Pix - I'm not all that much better than the last time you visited. I can almost do barre chords now, and I am certainly more comfortable playing in front of others. Blues in the key of E - I will strum the hell out that all night.
Zurf? C'mon man, it should be only a 4 or 5 hour drive.
Anybody else? Southpaw?
Actually, it would be good to learn some common tunes. Pix - I'd like to learn Bananna Pancakes - what version do you use. And TubaT I'm sure has an awesome repertoire - I'd love to learn some of the comedic songs in his book.

Re: Chordilina Jam (77 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I've been hoping to hear from Cam, but so far nothing. Let's go ahead and firm up the date and since 11/20 works best for Pix, that sounds good to me.
Any others interested, just post here. The location is Lewisville, NC - just outside of Winston-Salem.
Looking forward to it!

Topic: Chordilina Jam (77 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A few North Carolina Chordians have discussed getting together for some time now. Pix visited me a few years ago, when I was just re-learning guitar and he taught me a ton. Cam is another member that lives within driving distance and we have talked about getting together, but it hasn't happened yet. I don't get to play with other folks often, but when I have, it is always lots of fun. Zurf went out of his way to visit on his family vacation a few moths ago and that was one of the best guitar pickin nights of my life.
So... What's say we try to make this happen again ? Pix says he's easy and is ready to travel. Cam - c'mon man, your like 30 miles away. Anybody else interested in a get together before the holiday's kick in?
I see 3 weekends before T-Giving 11/6, 11/13 and 11/20. I am more than happy to host a pickin' party and can accommodate quite a few. We can do a campfire outside if the weather allows, or my man-cave / music room / garage will easily handle several of us (8 or 10 even if I have to re-arrange some furniture). I've got 2 couches and 3 extra beds for anyone who wants to (or needs to) spend the night.
I know it's short notice, but I think at least a few of us could pull this off. Pix, Cam, anybody else interested? If you can make, reply with your preferred date and we'll go from there. Let's try to firm up the date by the end of the weekend, 10/31.
Family, wives, kids are welcome!

Peavey bought the remnants and rumor is they are in production and are going to re-launch at Winter NAMM (Jan '11). But, unless you are looking for a Cargo, you'd be in the used market anyway. And a "pre-peavey" CA might actually be more valuable.
We do need to hook up again, maybe get Cam involved. It's been a long time. I've got plenty of time on my hands (out of work) - let's make it happen. I've got family in Raleigh - maybe we could arrange a meet there?

Re: Picks Around the World (412 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
WOW - I received the package late last week and spent the weekend going through all the goodies. What started out as a handful of unused picks has turned into a treasure trove of musical goodies. This just goes to show the good nature of folks here at chordie. Below is a photo of the contents including the items I will add to continue the package on it's way.
I also burned copies of the CD's (Thanks Dirty Ed and unidentified others) and believe I will take the harmonica and instruction book from bolleauxp (thanks!) - I've been wanting to learn how to play the harp and this should get me started.
I added a bunch of chordie picks, a couple of static temporary pick guards and a handful of odds and ends.
The map has been updated and the package has traveled over 70,000 miles now. This has been a ton of fun, let's keep it going! bensonp - get me your address and you'll be next (unless someone else emails first)!

Like I said, I measure a QB success by his rings - from the list you provided, I see Manning, Brady, Ben, Brees as better than Romo - The rest can all be lumped together until they bring home the Lombardi. Flacco? Schaub? Ryan? C'mon man - These guys have alot to prove before they can carry Romo's pads.
