TIG the last time I had my hearing checked I had fifty percent hearing in one ear and normal hearing for my age in the other ear. I have no idea why my tinnitus cleared I just thank God it did. Every now and the it returns in short burst but usually I am ok. After I have been on a aeroplane  flight it usually returns for a short while then clears up. Maree complains that I turn the Radio and TV up  too loud. What Maree hears as noise I hear as music.

Tinnitus it is hell at night the ringing in the ears when your tired and trying  to get some sleep, Fortunately for me after a few years I woke up one morning and the ringing had stopped.

Zurf that was fun. You had me tapping my foot and chuckling along with you.

Minimizing, distorting, or disregarding what people are trying to achieve is not helpful to anyone, The assumption that anyone on here thinks they are good is very unfair. On Chordie we do  sometimes make the wrong trade-off by thinking that boosting a person's  self-esteem is going to boost their performance,  I think most people see chordie for what it is, just  every day  people having a bit of harmless fun looking to learn. I do accept that empty praise of telling someone they’re great, or pretending they are can  become a problem and give them a false sense of their talent.  I see chordie as an international party with  a diverse range of people having fun doing what they love. Classical Guitar your posts on chordie I  have enjoyed.  You leaving chordie  is a sad loss.  All the very  best for the future to you and your family.

TIG your Mom what an inspirational lady. Your song is  an exceptional piece of music. This one would work great with a piano a choir and someone with a great voice.  I played part of your song  on my piano and I found C E and F went real good with your lyrics. Where you  play a G and and a D  I was playing an E and a F. On guitar your original chords work good.

I will  also attach this link below of Barry Mcquire been interviewed with his guitar . He  got known as a Jesus type folk singer. He is highly entertaining and a man who thinks alot like  I do.  He is not what I would call a holy roller but still a man of faith and fun character.
