Green Bay is not in yet- Lions could ruin their season with a win.  ( Doubtful, but possible.)

Steelers are gonna surprise someone - IF - they cn some support from their D- Line.

So sweet of you and Jim !!

That looks like a super nice Fender!

Thanks everyone
It is cool to have something go from how I play it and sing it to what Jim and  Rachel can do.
Jan I told them about your Dolly and Ken comment - they loved it. 

With that  being said ... I love it just as much when the talented people right here on chordie do covers of my songs as well.  I certainly wish I had your abilities to sing and play.

I wish all of my Chordie friends a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, safe, prosperous, and LOVING New Year !

I left you a new msg on soundcloud - but I gotta say here as well --- this is bloody brilliant - so many things going on in this song - a true masterpiece.
I keep listening to it, and it gets better each time. I truly hope that whilst you are out doing your gigs you are including it in your set - it needs exposure so all can enjoy.
It might be a good idea for you to wear a Santa cap and hold a little mistletoe over Ann's head during the performance  smile   Thanks again for making the Holiday more enjoyable !!

Ha hahaha

I said in another post this morning that since the weather is so crappy it'd be a good day to stay in and write a song. 
10 minutes later I'm writing one - got sucked into my my own delusion ! smile

Anyway - here is a little cute one that popped in my head.  Hope you like it.

[Song]
{T: That ‘Ol   Guitar }

[G]Sometimes life can get you down
And [C9] turn your  whole world upside down
And [G]everything around you just goes [D]wrong
[G]When melancholy days set in
And [C9] you can’t seem to  find a friend
Just [G]grab your ol’  gui[D]tar and write a  [G]a song

Chorus
[G]Oh find your groove on every fret
[C]Move it up and down that neck
[G]Tap your foot to find that perfect [D]beat
Oh [G]hit that baseline with your thumb,
[C] Pick those strings and make ‘em hum
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound  so[G]sweet

[G]Seems that days slip by so fast
And [C9] nothing good seems to last
it’s [G]hard to keep a  smile upon your [D]face
[G]well don’t you worry, have no fears
with[C9]cowboy chords  and a couple  beers
that [G] ol’ guitar will [D]be your saving [G]grace

Chorus 2x
except in second time through the chorus to end it .....
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that sound  so[G]sweet
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C]sound  so[G]sweet
slow it down......
[G]Find those perfect [D]chords that [C] sound  so[G]sweet

That is great guitar playing.
So simple, yet so complex.
Love the 12-string sound.

Thanks for sharing Badeye - on this lousy snow stormy day.
Good day to sit inside and play and maybe write a song.

Thanks for sharing

Yep, when I saw that set up with the HH I knew that was the one I wanted.
Ironically - I haven't even played a note yet as I have been so busy with basketball games ( I coach a high school team) .  I'm looking forward to Christmas break tomy be getting some time in to play around with it.  I am using a Fender Frontman Amp  so it should sound decent.

Thanks for the comments from all.  They only drawback was that it did not come with a bread machine.    JJJ I have many more buys before I can come in to your level !! smile  You are the guitar NGD King for sure!
