It's funny - I've seem to stumble upon a link to these great shows a few times a year. I don't have it bookmarked, so I never remember to check on a regular basis. I think the last episode I watched was with the Bacon brothers. Very cool shows! I'm watching the one with Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek  (from the Doors) right now.

Thanks for the reminder Wayne!

Kaitie - there is no need to post the identical message in multiple sections, therefor I deleted your message in Chat. This is the proper section if you are looking for bandmates. Good Luck!

Here's the lyrics for you rockroll:

I searched for chords, but had to quit looking before I O.D.'d on cheese

Welcome to chordie! Don't be a stranger.

I was privileged to see Willie open for Dylan a few years ago on one of their tours playing minor league baseball venues. Willie literally brought tears to my eyes as I was so touched seeing this American Icon. The Smithsonian is definitely where Trigger belongs. Right besides Elvis' jumpsuit and Sinatra's microphone.

Like Nelson himself, the guitar is weathered, slightly the worse for wear, and one of a kind. Both have a sweet song inside. On the cover of his new record, "The Great Divide," Nelson poses almost like an afterthought behind the battered face of his Martin N20. It is covered with the etched signatures of the country singer's most esteemed colleagues and is missing a good chunk of wood right out of the front.

"It's a classical guitar, and it wasn't designed to use a pick on," said Nelson, who opens tonight for four nights at the Fillmore Auditorium. "Normally, if you're going to use a pick, they have a big plastic pick guard. But this one, over the years, without a pick guard, a lot of picks and fingernails and 'Whiskey Rivers,' the hole just gets bigger every year. "

The nylon-string guitar has been an integral part of Nelson's sound throughout his career. He has owned it 35 years and doesn't play any other guitar. He plays the thing with a touch as unique as his singing, and he has no interest in repairing the hole.

"I think it helps the sound," he said. "I've had to reinforce it inside over the years a few times because the hole sorta weakened the woodwork inside. "

Martin Guitar's Dick Boak agrees. "He has had some epoxy glopped on it to keep it from falling apart," said Boak. "The guitar really does sound great, and he's probably right in not replacing the soundboard." Martin, in fact, made a special Willie Nelson model replica -- "you have to supply your own hole," Boak said.

Great recording Ken. John Prine style is right on. You could be an impersonator (and I mean that it with mucho respect)!

I believe only a moderator of the songwriting forum could possibly modify the thread title.

Never Forget - I believe that the TV networks should air, every single night, the video of the planes hitting the towers. This cowardice, terrorist act caused the most civilian causalities in the history of the US - more than any fire, hurricane, war on our soil. Almost 3,000 innocent civilians were killed including several children.

I choose to HATE these zealots of this so called "religion of peace" for what they have done to the US and many other parts of the world. Peace, schmese - these scumbags have no place in my world. Forgiveness, peace - yeah that's great...until it happens again.

Keeps better time than most drummers:

Zurf - Thanks for the sentiments, I've posted the story before and thought most folks knew the story. Chris fought childhood cancer for over 7 years after the original diagnosis / prognosis (at age 10) gave us less than a single year's expectation. He was a joy and although he had a hell of a fight, he appreciated every day and taught a lot of people (myself included) how important every day is. It's been 5 years now since he left us, but I still think of him and remember this lesson every day. I wish I had a shot of Chris behind his drum set - I know he's keeping the beat every time I pick up my guitar.

Please don't let this take away from this thread. I choose to dwell on the time he was here and the positive lessons he brought to many. More pictures of members please!

^ great job Wayne - One of my long term goals is to learn the harp. Any advice as to brands / products? Is this cheap pack worthwhile for a beginner to learn on, or would I be better off spending the bucks on higher quality instruments?

What about holders - are any brands better than others? How bout ya Toney - got any advice?

Happy NGD (new guitar day) mekidsmom!

Just got back and it was an excellent show. Nantucket played a short 55 minute set, but it included most of their popular tunes from back in the day. Brought back good memories hanging with 5 very good old friends. My friends and the band have all changed hairstyles (a lot less of it and more gray in it) and have put on a few pounds since the days they were playing in the local bar, but we could still sing along on every tune.

The Wilson sisters did not disappoint at all - they were fantastic. Ann can still hit all the notes and Nancy is still incredibly hot (and they must be pushing 60 I'd guess). Along with their many classic tunes, they did 2 Zep covers with Nancy on the mando that I really enjoyed as well as an excellent cover of The Who's "Love Reign O’er Me".
