the beatles do not have control over their music.
it was the record company that did not want the lyrics available for all.
As they have the rights to the lyrics they can make money from them. If they are shown for free on the internet then they dont make money.

Per is based in Belgium.
I think he had to block the beatles songs because it was a british company that told him to so it mentions something about british.

I think if it were an american company the notice would say about blocking the lyrics in america instead of the UK.

I dont know much about the programming for blocking certain areas for certain people but I know that Per is working on this. Means I will be blocked but in the U.S. they wont be. I might have to get the U.S. to save it to their songbook, save it to thewir computer as a file then Email me it.

try looking in song requests. It was probably moved there.

I luv them Craig.
If you like live music then they have an album called "HANX" or their album " ALL THE BEST" which is a compilation.
I love all their stuff though. 1st album they done was inflamable material. their latest "GUITAR AND DRUM"

I am pretty sure there is stuff on youtube of them

no exercise ideas here.
I was going to reply something witty and funny but couldnt think of anything that didnt sound too cheeky so instead I will reply wit hthis.

I would have thought even getting on in years you should be able to play OK. I know a few guys in their late 70's and early 80's that still play away without their fingers or hands getting sore.
Maybe this is a cause from your broken bones from years ago.
If I were you I would go to the docs and ask him.

But then other folkies here might have the same problem or maybe did have and they probably have a few answers.

C'mon folk, I want to read some answers here for when I get old.

freebies are always good, everyone likes something that is free, even if it is useless!
this in my experience is more towards the older generation. Now please do not think I am meaning every O.A.P as I know a lot that will take nothing for nothing.

When I worked in A garden centre for 11 years we always thought of ways of getting more punters through the door as does every company trying to make money. makes sense!
The best way we handled this even though not always successful was to advertise in the local paper ( and hopefully get the ad cheap as we pleaded we were a charity run business for disabeld ex-servicemen) We advertised a free bottle of baby bio plant food which would cost us about 20p per bottle since we bought so much in or got it on offer from the supplier.
Our advert would say spend over £10 and get a FREE bottle of plant food. At 9am we would have a queue of old biddies standing with their coupons that they needed thinking we would run out of the stuff.
And when they had enough items to get over the £10 and standing at the till they were telling the staff how they were not to forget the plant food.
This did not happen once or twice, this happened a lot with different offers all free or Buy one get one free (aka BOGOF). Sometimes if we never had a lot of free items the advert would say " while stocks last" if someone came and they could not get it even if a few weeks later they would let us know how unhappy they were, how they feel they have been cheated to visit and spend money to get something free.
My question to that to them was if you didnt need it, why buy it? why buy something just to get something free?. Sometimes they would reply " I might use it but I came here for it, I could have went elsewhere" So no matter they were going to buy it anyway.

I am so glad I got away from the general public, what a pain in the rear end they are. I hope I dont meet any of the general public again
seriously though freebies are good.
And as for mentioning yet again about paying for things here or getting it for free. I like chordie the way it is and the only way Choride would ask for money I tihnk is if it really had to for its survival. But as for paying for advice that most give out in chordie then that is just pure urine man. that advice will always be free in here.

Stopry over

HiTine
Dont know about everyone else but i am doing great.

I would recommend you randomly looking through some public songbooks thats what I do for new ideas. I might look through 5 or 6 books and get one or two new songs.

when i was younger I thought upon those that cried at films and songs were really needing medical help in a big way. I thought only a song, only acting etc.
Now I am older I have different views on it.

I have had a tear or two bucket full when trying to sing one of my own sad songs....I just dont do it anymore. No point in trying if ye cant finish it the nye try to think of a cheery song to lift you up a bit, but the damage is done and ye feel the dried up tears tightening up your laughter lines around yer eyes. and ye have to ram a few roll up cigarette filters up yer nose to dam the mucus from flowing down while ye sing yer happy song to make you forget about yer sad song.

The scottish trad. song I do a lot " hush hush" makes my mum cry or " the masacre of glen coe" so if she is anywhere near I just wont do them.

I do like a right good emotional sad song wit ha lot of feeling, one that makes you sit down and absorb every word with every meaning that goes with it. Or you twist the lyrics a bit to make you think of different things in your own life, past or present.
Ones that usually get me are jacobite songs or others like "the soldier" "streets of london"

but I got to agree with most here about Johnny Cash, his lyrics are just so emotional a lot of the time and whether ye cry or not they really make you sit and get emotional.

good subject
