I switch my guitar position all the time - being small and having some shoulder issues myself.  I believe the video of me playing "in my daughter's eyes" shows me with my dread in such a position, Zurf. 

Glad to hear you've got enough instruments laying around that could be used to help you with the Martin.  Funny thing - at first I kept going back to my dread because I liked the "boom" more in it - but after I stopped being so gentle on the Martin (it is a guitar after all, not a baby), I can get a good solid boom out of it.  I'd hate to get rid of my other guitars because they look so nice on my wall... but I hate knowing someone could use them and they just sit there.  LOL!  If the music teacher at school felt comfy teaching guitar I'd donate them.  Sadly, he's self taught in guitar and won't offer lessons.

Zurf, if I lived closer to you, and I thought it would help, I'd hand over my Epiphone and my Ibanez to help you with your trade in money on the Martin.  Your comments on it helped cement the deal for me and I feel like I owe you.  Good luck!  I hope all goes well for you.  I honestly don't ever pull my dread down off the wall anymore.  The Martin is just so comfy.

I like simple songs with simple chords... the words speak clearly.  Lovely... now, we need to hear a recording so we know how it's supposed to sound/be played! 

1. mostly with a pick - unless fingerpicking, or doing a combo of fingerpicking and strumming
2. over the soundhole
3. not yet
4. not yet

Here's a link to a direct pdf download of the Juniata River Water Trail - Lower Section.  Perhaps it will help you in decision making Zurf.

Sorry I missed it guys!  Friday I came down with this nasty cold... but was still required to do all mom duties.  Yesterday, Jim came down with it and was "incapable" of getting of the couch.  Somehow, although I still have the cold and feel like pooo, I still had to do everything.  Couldn't have sang if I wanted, and the kids wouldn't have let me on.  MISS YOU ALLLLLL!!!!  NEXT TIME!

I'm just hoping my darn cold is doing better by then.  Of course, a little Jack might help it out! 

Gentleman Jack... mmmm... good stuff! 

Hoping to see you all there!!

My fingers are getting soft.  My guitar has been in it's case hiding.  I need to get it OUT!  On the other hand, I do have plans for most of Sunday (morning into the afternoon - my 7 year old is on a competition dance team for the first time and apparently we need to dish out MORE money for EXTRA REQUIRED occasional classes.  What did we get ourselves into?  ahhhh!).  But... let me know when, and I'll do my bestest to be there.  I don't care if Skype/Microsoft listens in, as long as they aren't watching when I get drunk and rowdy and start taking the extra layers of clothes off (LOL - kidding guys - if you've been with us on skype, I generally start with a sweater and move down to MAYBE a t-shirt if drinking enough Jack to warm me!  ha ha).

Very sorry to hear that the cat had to be put down.  It's a sad feeling.  We had to put one of our kitties down a while ago due to illness, knowing what the vet would say I meanly sent my hubby to do the dirty deed.  I had to take his dog into the vet to put the dog down when he was to the point of pain causing him to snap at the kids and losing his functions in the house without getting up from where he was laying.  Neither of us looks forward to doing either of those things again any time soon.  Glad to hear that Guppy is taking it fairly well.  Sorry to hear your wife is not.  Furry family members. 

Sounds like kitty's getting old.  All good advise above.  Check to make sure her belly doesn't seem to be getting bigger while everything else points to weight loss, as that could be a very terrible illness.  Vet is a good idea, but it sure could be that she's just annoyed with the dog being in her home.  Cooked or raw meat is a good idea.  If she doesn't get excited about that, I'd be quite concerned.

if anyone were to hack my webcam, they'd see me sitting in front of my computer while computing.  Funny thing about laptops, they have a TOP!  I always close mine when I'm not actively using it (and I don't keep my laptop in my bedroom where I undress).  Jeff, I think we're safe.  I have a funny feeling they may possibly be targeting those living in dorm rooms, not us old people! 

FASD - It looks like you've placed this link to a direct download of a song.

I have found a link for the song to be listened to directly online here instead:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LK48dtjRl4

A direct download may scare some members away from helping you.  Hopefully this youtube link will get a little more help instead.
