I've wondered the same thing, Scott.

We have a couple dozen regular participants, and that's about it. I'll often notice a lot of other members logged in at the bottom of the FORUM page, but can't recall ever seeing  posts from most of them. Then there's some who'll join to complain about something, but then we never hear from them again.

My own two-cents worth is that the Chordie regulars are a very respectful and supportive group, which is what I like most about it. Some other music sites have forums, where the contributors trash talk one another, their gear, their opinions ... you name it. If some folk find that entertaining, so be it ... ain't my cup o' tea. Don't know why more people don't take a regular part, but that's just up to them in the end. I find the daily visit to the site energizes me to keep at my guitar, and there's always something to learn.

Love Chordie ... 'nuff said.

Good one ... I like the older "classic country" better than the gawdy stuff that's called country today. This is great!

New PUPs look great in your rig, Beamer. You happy with the tone? I like the way you phased-out (reversed?) the middle pickup, to cancel some of the hum that single coils are known for.

This is spot-on, and hits very close to home ... we have a couple of close relatives with substance abuse problems, and it ain't one bit pretty. Reminds me of Neil Young's "Needle and the Damage Done".  (But every junkie's like a setting son)

Lots o' good stuff here, Badeye ... never heard of "Frogman" before. I'm going to give this a serious listen this evening, while packing fishing gear for next week's trip.

How can anyone keep dry eyes listening to this ... words fail me. This is a beautifully stunning collaboration, guys.

This is a beauty, Mojo ... personally, I like your original chorus, and Peatle's suggestion is also excellent. Are there any rules that say one must sing the chorus exactly the same way all the time? Why not use both?

Hats off to you for embarking on a brave journey. It's often very difficult to un-learn old habits, so as to replace with new habits. Knowing that humor & humility will get you through is a great place to start from.

Congrats, Zurf ... and a high-five to Topdown for his generosity.

Nice arrangement of this Allman Brothers classic ... the band and the audience are obviously enjoying themselves.

MKM ... Thanks for the comment. Tull reminds me of a big ice cream stand near here, where they have 80 different flavors. As a group now heading towards 50 years old, they've gone through so many variations, that somehow seem to fit together. I like a lot of their acoustically-focused stuff, but they can also "rock out" with the best of them. Their album "Crest of a Knave" even beat out Metallica for a Grammy Award for "Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album" in 1989 ... which has been joked about a lot.

TIG ... Glad you enjoyed the Zappa! He wrote about stuff that no else wrote about, and crossed / combined genres with virtuoso compositions in a way that no one else ever has. Not many groups can stand as unique as Frank and the Mothers of Invention.

Sad song, TIG. People who have experienced this kind of hurt will surely relate, and you've expressed those feelings very well.
