I am in the process of opening a rehearsal/recording studio here in beatiful downtown Cornwall Ont. Canada. The emphasis will be on a safe, hassle free, and quiet place to rehearse, with recording facilities.No pressure for the amature and able to accomadate the semi-pro. Equipment rentals and consignment, concert promotions, a stable of acts, including my own band, CHAMPAGNE WHISKEY, lessons and repairs will all be part of the mix.Any suggetions on marketing, soundproofing, set-up arrangments, etc. I figure that this is a great source to get a wide range of ideas from a wide range of artist and experienced music people. Every chance a person recieves to obtain a respected opinion is another opportunity to succeed.

               thanks

Does any body out there have  songbook of Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show material.Something a little more than "Sylvia" or "Rollingstone" I'm looking for stuff like "the Ballad Of Lucy Jordan" or "Years From Now". It sure would be nice to get this in a song book so I can edit and transpose etc.        thanks

Hell-o to my friends at CHORDIE.

This is a letter of thanks and appreciation to all those who work at, and contribute to Chordie. About a "hundred" years ago, back in the late 60's- early 70's, I was the front man for a rock'n'roll revival group called "Johnny Vitalis & the Brylcreem Kids, featuring the V.O.5's + Conditioner" We had quite a bit of local success, with some tours in southern Ontario, Canada. After that life grabbed hold,things moved on, marriages, carreers, etc..For the last twenty years I have picked up a guitar a dozen times and attempted to learn. Not being able to find music, lyrics, chords, trying not to scatch the shit out of albums for lyrics, buying $40 books to get two songs etc. became too much hassle and would get dropped again.About Five years ago I got married for the first time and lo and behold this fine young lady had a computer.Stumbling through sites one evening I stumbled upon CHORDIE!!!!!  I know this sounds kind of "corny" but it has changed my life!!!!!With the help of CHORDIE, being able to find songs instantly with chords, lyrics, transposing, and the help of people like James McCormick(simply the best) I now can hold my own as a decent rythm player, have about a two hundred song list, and my wife and I have begun playing local venues as a dou.(she plays piano)We have quit our "reg" jobs and opened up a small buisness from our home. This was only possible becaues of the extra income from playing, wich was only possible because of CHORDIE. Our stress levels are way down and our fun level is way up.So again, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, to every-one at CHORDIE, keep doing what your doing 'cause sometimes it effects people more than you know.

p.s.

did I say thank-you

Has any-body out there ever heard of this guy besides me? He played guitar for Jerry Jeff Walker for years and put a a couple of albums in the late seventies. I'm looking for one song in particular. "I LIKE TO SLEEP LATE IN THE MORNING" and anything else that any one else can find.I need the words and chords together.

                thanks JOHNNY V.
