TF = great pun !
Thanks for checking it out - I think Russell has a quote somewhere on his comments - getting old ain't for sissies - he is right - it requires a lot of resiliency
Phill, Beamer and anyone else
I am LOL bc you guys actually think I am a musician and understand 3/4 or whatever it is that distortion means.
I am just a pretty bad self taught strummer that can't keep time very well ( mostly because my right hand wants to play every syllable!)
When I write i just plugs words to chords and hope it sounds close to something musical
I am always indebted to the real musicians here on chordie to fix the music part for me.
my wife sleeps on other side of the house and I play soft.
Glad you are gonna give it a go, and as per my usual rule - I don't care if you change it - in fact I encourage it if it makes it sound good - have fun!
I have Never been disappointed by anyone on chordie that has covered one of my songs- they all have sounded great to me.
Thanks for the kind words - looking forward to some versions.

KIR - so sorry for your loss.
Seems we all have busy times and real life issues to deal with.
Just keep posting when you can and supporting each other as we have done in the past.
and lastly, I can't afford another guitar... it's not the money... I'm afraid my wife might beat me !

Topic: Seven Times { revisted} (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This morning my dog woke me at 4:45 and I had nothing better to do than grab my guitar and go through some of my songs. I looked at my song Seven times - and said to my self - that's such a good line to be wasted on the friviolity of the song I wrote - although it was kinda amusing.
So I wrote a new more appropriate song for that line - " I fell down seven times, got up eight" . it may need another verse - I don't know - maybe you guys can give some advice on that
Hope you like it better than the first, I do.
here it is

Re: Prog Rock Wednesdays (580 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
TF
I was always wondering where the term " Progressive Rock" comes from ? Is there a particular progression through the songs or something?
While I am not the biggest fan of it - I do appreciate the terrific abilities of the performers you present each week.
Thanks for taking the time to do so.
While in college I liked the group Uriah Heep that you showcased a couple of post ago.

Re: My Repertoire (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My daughter's boyfriend plays in a duo - it's called Ridgeline. They play pretty much every weekend.
I have no idea how they remember all the words and all the chords - no lyric sheets or electronic screens - just good ol' memory. I am always amazed each time I hear them
(they have a few songs on you tube.)
I know many of you Chordians gig a lot..... you have my total admiration - I am amazed at real musicians like yourselves.
Hopefully one day I will make a Chordie get together and get to play with some of you.( certainly not the vocals )
anyway - Kudos to all of you performers out there
it is something special to be able to do so !

Re: Teardrops in the Rain (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
UJB and Jan
Thanks for your kind words.
Yes I took mine down because I am at the soundcloud limit. I couldn't load Phill's version without taking something down- it was an obvious choice to eliminate mine.
(Trust me, it saved your ears some anguish
I love having the people on Chordie cover my songs because there is so much talent here - UJB - I d' love to have you cover one - you are an excellent musician as well.
Phill is uniquely talented. I never even have to tell him how I think it goes - he and I are somehow almost always on the same page.
Although I have never personally met him, (although we do connect through e-mail ) it's like he and I are old buddies from way back.
Thanks again,
Jim
