JX3 - I will add you to Skype now... but I won't be "presentable" on camera until a bit later in the day (was working till midnight and just on coffee cup nbr 1).  But we'll try it out at some point!! 

USUALLY, yes they do... but remember it will be growing back in from the top of the nail (the cuticle area), and they grow very slowly.  some of the old nail may also stay attached to the live nail bed as this is all going on too.  If you've damaged that area in particular where the nail BEGINS to grow, it is POSSIBLE that you may never have a nail again - but it's not that likely.  If it's still hurting pretty bad, you may want to go to the doctor sooner rather than later.  They can put a hole in the nail to release some of the blood underneith the nail - which is likely causing a LOT of pressure/pain.  Good luck.

FYI... Katie dropped a can of whipped cream on her big toe on Christmas.  It is STILL black under that nail at the cuticle area.  It hasn't fallen off, but it's still working it's way on growing out.  So, when I say it takes a long time.... it takes a LONG TIME!

If you're asking about copyright music, the answer is long and short at the same time.  The short is, the site name is "chordie" because what you will find is mostly chords and tabs.  So no, you are not likely to search for a song and only come across lyrics without tab or chords associated.  The long version is... none of that music is even hosted on this site.  Chordie works more like a search engine, finding the information hosted on other websites and reformatting it all pretty like and making it easier to find here.  There are some major copyright lawsuits going on around the world right now, so those who actually host copyright material could be in for trouble.  Therefore, nothing is actually hosted here and copyright lyrics cannot be posted within the forums either.  If what you're looking for is posting your own lyrics to your own song, then check out the songwriting forum on this site, or the poems section.  I hope my answers help.  Please, feel free to ask if you have other questions.

Oh... and welcome to Choride!!

My lesson, along with all the above - make sure you change your default sound settings so that you can hear everyone through the computer's speakers... otherwise people could be talking about you or to you without your knowledge as your computer pretends you have a headset on.  OH... and I'm not sure but also maybe turn your computer's sound volume down while playing so there's not a ton of feedback.  I'm not sure how that sounded on your end guys, but there were a few times while I was playing that I was getting a bunch of feedback.  I turned my speaker volume down the one time, and it at least got rid of the feedback on my end while playing.  And - Skype handles USB mic changes pretty well on the fly too!  Just remember those setting changes!

It was wonderful!  I must admit, I had quite a few drinks during the call and was feeling quite well by the end of it all.  It was so much fun being able to sing and play and drink with you guys!  Jim is already planning a song for next week; he was very impressed with how much fun it was and how well it all worked too!  I read a little on the Skype page.  As we suspected, only one person in the group has to have the premium (video group chat) for it to work.  It also says up to 10 people can join, but 5 is suggested for the best quality.  There are also some suggestions on that page for personal system requirements.  Folks with skype on their mobile phones won't be able to use the video feature but will be able to join in as a call only.  I agree with Jeff... milk that free trial as long as possible, one at a time.  The monthly rate isn't too bad, and in my opion it's more than worth it for the ability to get together like we all did!  When we do it again, I'd love for it to be a little earlier in the day.  I'll be working weekends starting this coming weekend - at 5:45 EST (-5GST), plus it'd be great for those 5 hours ahead of my time as well.  I am looking forward to the next one!  Heck... maybe we need to try a couple, Saturday AND Sunday!  LOL!  It was great!

Oh btw - no work Sunday ... so I'll be on as long as the internet and kids hold out

YES - if you have an ethernet cable and can plug it into your router, you'll have a far more reliable connection.  Check with your provider too... sometimes you can upgrade to a slightly faster speed for a nominal fee.  I just called yesterday to upgrade mine.  It was supposed to cost $5 more, and it turned out there was a promotion going on so upgrading actually LOWERED my monthly bill!  SCORE! 

BTW Paul, I haven't played Crazy in a while... so I've been practicing just for you.  As you will recall last June, I kind of avoided the request.  It was on purpose as I wasn't comfy playing it having not done it in a while or perfected it to my liking.  I will keep practicing until Sunday and play it for ya! 

I don't have Pete or Paul in my Skype yet... I think I should keep it that way for the test, then we'll know for sure if everyone has to be added on everyone else's Skype or not.  We can always add people in on the fly! 

also, if you have a mic for your Wii (band hero game)... it's usb and should work with a computer! 

sounds like a little competition... LOL!  Fun fun!  I'm excited!  Here's hoping the kids will allow it and not try to hog the webcam too much!

OH and Nao - you can't be any worse than my husband was at the July Jam.  Not that he was aweful, but he was so nervous he just kept "messing" up and starting over.  No one was mean, everyone encouraged him.  It's just like here online.  You should play something.  With all the guitars you've got, I'm sure you can make some type of music - even if it's wrong!
