Re: Glen Campbell RIP (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
he had a roller coaster life. Great musician
His daughter has become his standard bearer.
I loved all of his songs - but the performance I like best is this

Re: Love is Not Love (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you TF !
I just think it has a really sweet sound to it - and I like how the chorus goes. To me it's filled with a little certainty and uncertainty... the stuff love is made of in our everyday lives.
I wish I could sing because when I play it and it's my inner voice singing ( which always sounds great) it feels so good - but when I record myself - not so much 
I have it now in my chordie songbook - this is the link for anyone that wants to use that form - I like viewing it there much better.

Thanks again for the kind words TF !
Jim
ps... my wife likes my inner voice a lot more than my outer voice as well !

Topic: Love is Not Love (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I don't why this got in my head - but i started playing it on my twelve string and the harmonics just sounded so pretty to me as they matched the words. ( a least in my head)
Anyways - the song is...
[Song]
{t: Love Is Not Love}
[C]Love is not love, if it changes with the [G]wind
[C] love must always comes from deep [G] within
[C]Love is not love, if your heart isn't [G] true
[Am]Love is not [C]love, if I don't have [G] you
[D] [C] [G]
[C]Love is not love if you can' t spread your [G]wings
[C]yet it's constant, no matter what each day [G] brings
[C]Love is not love without sweet [G] harmony
[Am]Love is not [C]love without you next to me [G]me
Chorus
[G] So what is love, can you tell me please
Oh it [D] seems it's got me on my knees
They [C]say love hurts, but oh that can't be [G] true
[G] So what is love, don't you know
It's [D]why I never want to let you go
[C]I love every second that I spend with [G]you
[D] I love every time you [C]kiss me like you [G]do
[D] I love every moment that [C] I'm in love with [G] you
[C]Love isn't love without honesty and [G]trust
[C]Love will never tarnish or turn to [G]rust
[C]Love is not what you say,it's what you[G] do
[Am]Love is not [C] love unless it's with [G] you
Chorus
[G] So what is love, can you tell me please
Oh it [D] seems it's got me on my knees
They [C]say love hurts, but oh that can't be [G] true
[G] So what is love, don't you know
It's [D]why I never want to let you go
[C]I love every second that I spend with [G]you
[D] I love every time you [C]kiss me like you [G]do
[D] I love every moment that [C] I'm in love with [G] you
[D] [C] [G]
hope you like it.

I think it could be :
they are holding out for more money !
their fingers are so sore from strumming that they cant touch the keyboard to load pics
they are so full from Amy's good cooking they can't move
they are all in JJJ's car riding around Oneida - having to much fun to check in
they built a bon fire bigger than last year and set central NY on fire - they are in jail, but used their one phone call to order pizza
they have drank a few too many drinks - forgot about us
or.....
they said - heck if they didn't come, they don't get to see or hear the fun!

Re: Some times it is how you play (28 replies, posted in Acoustic)

Were you at Nassau Collesium in the late 1980's when the Dead played in Long Island. I was there - it was awesome.
I was staying in a hotel about two blocks away - they locked the doors because all the " dead heads ' infiltrated and took all the TP out of the lavs
Inside the Collesium, the "smoke" was so thick - people in the shit nose bleed seats probably couldn't even see Jerry and the band by mid-concert.
Great times , Great friggin times !!

Great story. So sad he died.
This song by him and Australian Paul Kelly is beautiful, and ironically the line
" was blind,but now can see" comes to fruition for Gurrumal
It is such a beautiful rendition !

Garrison is one of my faves. My kids used to make fun of me because I used to watch Prairie Home Companion.
There is a ton of great music hidden in that hilarious song.
Thanks for sharing. Since its raining here all day- I'll probably look up more PHC videos on youtube.

Pretty funny stuff. Love the dialect, I had to listen really carefully to catch everything... a few words I had to look up !
Thanks for the morning smile.
