I could write a song or I could write a book
it dosnt really matter I never get a second look
I might change my mind but not my point of view
I dont know why I am sitting here talking to you
it dot make no difference when the day is through
most of all these people well they aint got a clue

C                                 G          D                                G
about where their going about where they've been
about the world in general their living in


some folks say it will be all right
while others sit and worry and cry all night
me myself I just dont give a damn
to many things in this life we dont understand
so I grab my guitar and go along for the ride
tell my little stories round the country side

about where I'm going about where ive been
about the world he world in general and the shape its in


well its time for me to be moving along
nothing much is left here for my next song
so ill get my self on the very next boat
across the river Styx my soul will float
when I reach the other side and step out on that bank
I may drop down to my knees and I may give thanks


maybe ill have questions about where ive been
about the world in general and the shape its in

I my self have not been around much, so guilty as charged. I some times write entire post then delete them before I post because I remember the best advice I ever got. better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. and like Doug said my intrest comes and goes.

Well that's a mighty fine gadget I`d say
Take it anywhere , any day
No big set up
I hear a few hiccups
As you settle down and play

First few songs and strums
Going really well , using your thumb
The keg getting lighter
You sound a bit brighter

You got a monster rock and roller
Now you just gotta holler
With mic, amp and guitar
You strut your stuff, your a star
You got ya mojo on

Songs are getting longer
Words getting slower
Keg half empty
Legs wobble plenty
But that rock and roller is steady
It's all set up and ready

Last couple of songs now
This gadget has it all
You emptied the keg completely
head feels like lead
Think it's time now for bed
Go rest your head
And dream of your rock and roller


Jan good one , cracked me up
did I mention this thing has a bottle opener on it to????

I use paper plates all the time. Dixie cups, only when there is a party or gathering. Not on a regular basis. Paper plates mainly because they don`t have to be washed.Just the cheapest paper plates. Dixie paper plates are too expensive


hmmm thought I hit the report button but this box popped up.

JJJ that is some funny s@#t I dont care who you are. I am with you on the dixie products way to expensive but my wife insist on the good stuff and she says the wal mart brand colors clash the cool whip serving bowls.

TF thats the one ,about the only thing it does not have is a dixie cup holder on it

Hi Peatle, great story and unfortunately too true!

I have to correct you on a couple of points...

1. This might have been more at home in poems?

2. Here in the UK we now have to pay for dental treatment, there are NHS dentists but you can never get in to see them that's why British teeth have gone to pot.

As you eloquently say; all medical establishments are run by private businesses with the sole aim of making a darn good profit at our expense of course.

My dentist is a very nice chap and the music is easy listening stuff....no choice, there is also a map on the ceiling and occasionally some of his holiday snaps...nothing to excite the patient too much!!!

I love the way you can put your thoughts and adventures down in an entertaining way...keep them coming LoreMaster

say it aint so you have to PAY for dental work? and the guy that worked for free did a better job?  lol i suppose we will have to start paying mechanics and plumbers next. smart a@# remarks aside that is a great story Peatle. i opt for classical gas when i go to the dentist.

10 gauge strings or maybe 11's i wouldn't go lighter than that or heavier. maybe the action needs to be lowered? take it to a guitar doctor, ask at your local music store.

thats true phil lighter strings can cause trouble. my taylor wont take any thing lighter than 12,s 11,s make it buzz not enough tension on the neck

I'm probably going to bring Tiny if I get the chance to do the fret work before I come. Otherwise, it'll be the Tak Jeff gave me. It's been feeling homesick.

As for you JJJ, bring whatever you like. I don't know what to tell you to bring.

Dirty Ed, I can't imagine a ChordieStock without a beach jam. I also can't recall Jeff ever having planned one. Those have been pretty organic so far. So I'd say if someone just picks up a guitar and says, "I'm going to the beach to watch the sunset and play music," that it will put anyone watching in mind of the fable of the Pied Piper.

the fried piper is probably more accurate.
