Now write a response, ark. 
IMHO, those people are not worth the energy you spent writing the poem, although it does show us their way of thinking about what is important to us.
So those soldiers guarding our monuments may have to keep their eyes peeled.
As my wife would say, EWWWWW! I hate that phrase!
Bill
Okay, that's fine. I worded it in such a way that he knows we appreciate his development of the site. So no harm no foul, and if Mr. Kummervold monitors us then he'll know we appreciate him, as the first post was meant for him anyway.
Have a great time taking pictures and a safe trip home, Roger.
And thanks for the Whoopi cookies! Nice of you to think of me and my joke!!!!!
Bill
He's the guy that furnishes this site, Roger. Or so I thought. His name is right next to the copyright 2002-2006 right here at the bottom.
Bill
I just thanked him for providing a place for us to hang out. I went to his site and he appears to be a technological genius - I couldn't understand any words longer than 2 letters that he wrote.
I hope it was okay to write him? He's not like Howard Hughes was, is he? 
<<<<< joke.
Mazzy
Great to see ya putting your songs here, Welcome.
We should rename Chordie `Wellington Songwriters`
there are 6 of us now.I`m trying to get some of these chordians writing now.
good to have ya onboard.
Or the Chordie Kiwis.
okay, I'll stop
Forgot to tell you, mazzy, that from an intermediate player's view, that song looks really hard to play. You're changing chords in mid-word at one place. Soo.... that leads to the question: How long have you been playing?
Thanks
Bill
Feel free to add to this. I see it as just a few chords and no singing, just talking - Hank Williams style....
======================================
Well, hell yeah I'm lonesome
What did you think
I just sit here [all day] waitin for a gal to wink?
If lonesome is as lonesome does
Then I must be invisible, cuz (cousin)
So hell yeah, I'm lonseome
What did you say?
======================================
All I got so far. I have it bookmarked, so I'll be back to work on it. I need to make it funny though.
Yup, I used to be Siggi65, named after my bro. I had forgotten that so many of you and I had interacted before until keep it real reminded me of it with a question he had. Back to being the Strummerboy now though. But first, I think it's meaningful in some way [shrugs shoulders] that we got together again and are the same friends. Any meaning to that for anyone else?
Bill
EDITED TO ADD: I guess I'm still as big a motormouth as I was back then, aren't I?
OMG!!! Peter's got a new one up????? Gotta go see it! BRB!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rlBK6IwOAU
And here he is: Mr. Peter Benson with just as pretty a version of this song as Dion......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqdvFLGwFEM
Oh and mazzy? THIS is the place for comments and advice. If you'll take a look at our "Chordie at Burning Butt" you'll see some folks just sitting around and then all of a sudden some really fine-sounding music comes out of their mouths.
As I have said before, Neil Young wouldn't have looked out of place on that back porch.
Trivia: Did y'all know there used to be a group called The Back Porch Majority? You did?
Okay, extra points if you can name which Rock and then Country Superstar was involved in it?
Right: Kenny Rogers and he was also in The New Christy Minstrels. Here's a song that features the Minstrels, before Kenny joined. That's Barry McGuire on lead vocals. Remember him?
Because those folks at the "Burning Butt" fest twisted my arm, I just had to finish 3 big bottles of my German Bier.
Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. After all I am a 65 year old frat! 
Going to bed now. Everyone looked really pretty on the movie, although I would like to have seen names, as everyone was sitting. I got Roger (mostly out of view), someone's Grampa who did a killer version of Kansas City; DE who can belt out some story/ballad songs and I wish I could have heard them better, Jim (Mr. Mekidsmom), Amy in her pink mulies (or whatever ya call those things) and the Shel Silverstein-looking Gentleman on the far left whose name I sadly did not catch.
Amy, you and your Jim did really good in organizing and hosting your event which I, instead of "The Burning Man" have called "The Burning Butt" - just for a laugh.
Y'all probably didn't see my note, but Dondra had asked for y'all to sing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" as a kind of finale. Maybe We can do that when we host our own "Hootenanny".
Good Night and We Love Y'all!
Bill and Dondra
This cute little guy is named Betram (Bert or Bertie for short) and we just had him seen by the Vet and he has Diabetes. We don't know what type yet, but cats are pretty much like we are.
Right now he gets 1/2 a tab of 10 mg Glipyzide (Sp?) . Just as adults who are diabetic do.
Bert is very important to me because I "kitnapped" or "catnapped" him away from some folks who were waiting on him up north. Short story: He was gonna be relay/transported to Maine from GA in 2005, but was given to me to "foster-socialize". He and I bonded and the rest is history.
I had not remarried my Ma-Dondra at that time, so he was my pal and when we did get remarried he moved in with us.
Anyway, he's lost weight, a lot of his coat and we are no longer feeding him dry food. If you have a cat, stay away from dry food and feed them what their carnivority needs: meat.
Anyway heeeeeeeere's....... Bertie
How did your procedure go? How are you doing?
Bill
My cat when I crash a cymbal....
Well, the reason I started this thread, is that my cymbals are mostly Paistes with a couple of K z's, and even though the Paistes were a set (meaning high hats, a crash and a ride), all the guitarists I've jammed with since I got them tell me they're too "thick" sounding and I don't know how to fix that for them, because I'm behind them and not on the listening side.
So Graham and anyone else that has a crazy drummin' fool running around, would you ask them what their set-up is, please?
Much appreciated
Bill
Too busy typing messages to y'all.
Can you get drunk offa root beer, y'all?
Okay, this begins my "review" of "Live At Gdansk" ---- it will have many parts and stops and starts, but hopefully just this ol' fart ----- a'writin'
1. The Beginning
a. For more than a few times, I kept hearing, "I want my....I want my....MTV" at the beginning of some of David's stuff, but that only happened a couple of times, so because of who he is, he is forgiven
b. I didn't know he could play the saxophone, could our David ---- AWESOME, DUDE!---- And while we are on the subject of saxophones think about this; no electric guitar sound effect has ever really been able to accurately reproduce the sound of a sax. I know: matter of opinion, Bill, but still, it's what I believe. Same with any reed.
Secondly (we're still under letter b --- I have forgotten how to properly stage an outline --- sue me. ) what if we never had discovered special effects for guitar? How would this lovely work of art have been produced?
c. Just thoughts: I cried a little when Richard stood up. What a precious man! And I'm not gay, but I'll say it again: What a precious man. He made it all so synchronistic. It's like when they were Floyd, they were meant to be Floyd. [shrugs] I don't know how to put it any other way.
As you know, I like to "review" as I listen, and I have not finished listening yet, so there is more to come, but inbetween, I sure would like to read what YOU think of the music of whom we both love so much
SIDEBAR....... I was just thinking about how my favorite composer of all time, The Maestro Ludwig Von Beethoven, might react to hearing der Herr David Gilmour ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (you know what those are by now, right?) ~~~~~~~~~~~
"GET OUT off here du SCHTINKER! You are HURTING meine EARRRS, und I am schupposed to be deff, Mensch!"
Then------ after David leaves, our Louie hurries to his piano forte and quickly plays and writes down several notes our David has played for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And with that little vignette, I'll stop the review of "Live At Gdansk" for now.
More to come.
Your Friend,
Bill
EDITED TO ADD: This post has had MANY edits, including semantics, grammar etc. So if you read this inbetween edits, then yes, I know it's not THE Pink Floyd and I know Mr. Richard Wright has passed. If you see any other mistakes, please point them out and belittle me until I correct them. ----- Thanks
Then post here more and teach us something. Music's music. Don't matter what the fargin' age span is.
^Yup, I said "fargin' " up there^
Join us and musicate!
I think what folks might misunderstand is: there was talent in every chair we saw, and even if a superstar like Neil Young stopped by and sat down, he'd be just like one of these people; just strumming, trying to find some common chords, humming and every now and then one of them performing something they brought with them.
THIS is what it's all about, my friends.
Bill
And you know? My life is pretty much an open book. All anyone has to do is read the blog and there it is. Anything else?
I'm right here.
Bill
I can sure understand about the neighbors, my friend. I bought rubber pads for ALL of the drums when they complained. Even the bass drum and the cymbals! You coulda heard a clock ticking, dude!
I was sitting there with my headphones on, playing along to Radar Love, and not a sound could be heard from my drums.
Of course, I also kept my head down, so I couldn't see the swinging cymbals and stuff.
Bill
Well, Dino
If It helps someone to become less offended, why shouldn't I do it.
Is it the right thing to do?
I don't know. I guess I could PUSH and see what it would take to get me out of here, but I've rethought things a lot over the years and so this is the way I am now.
Plus, it's nice to be in a board which doesn't allow people to call each other names.
Thanks
Bill
........ watchin' y'all! Hope everyone had a great time --- it sure looked like it!
See ya!
Bill
Dino
I am so sorry to hear that, my friend! How are your hands these days? Can you play guitar okay?
Bill
