Re: Is there another website that does everything chordie does? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The first thing I would like to say to Z G thank you for letting us know about your search to find a better site, I am pleased that you no doubt after a good search found no other site that can do better. ZG this site is not a Business Corperation or Government it is a place for people doing things for people in an unselfesh manner.. So if your frustrated that is fine but please dont expect people on here to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. As the technology gets better no doubt the things this site can't do will get better.. If you are onto better ways of doing better things than please let Chordie know. I am sure everone will then use your learnings to improve what we have.

Re: Where is everyone? (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am not as diligent or regular in my computer habits when it comes to visiting Chordie. I am pleased to read these posts knowing that Chordie Land citizens are not being sent into exile or are going to another place when i havent been around. I wont bore you with what keeps me distracted doing other things. Though we are geographically distant in this cyberspace there is a close collective spirit here on chordie. Recently my health has required me to be on lots of medication so I have not been that clear of mind. This is why I havent posted much on my infrequant visits. When I am here I do give the ones that are current at the time a read.There are many gems of wisdom on here from all you folks that make interesting reading. Thank you to you all who keep this site running.. I hope what I have writen makes sense.
K I R I am sure we all here thoughts are with you. My condolences on your loss.

TF ,,,My Dentist must know your Dentist . That is why they play those awful songs in shopping malls to get rid of people they don't want there. Barry Manilow music is very good at scaring people away from areas around New Zealand where they are not wanted. My 96 year old mother has told me one of the advantages of her lack of hearing is even bad music sounds good to her nowadays, Just take the hearing aid out and its all good.. My wife's dentist is good he asks her what she wants to hear .

Re: Trying to play. (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Joeyjoeyjoey
I am in a tempory situation where I have needed to rely on other people because I am recuperating and cant do a lot of things. Apart from obvious factors like my faith that gets me through, I found the hard part is having to rely on others. My biggest obstacle was taking the resentment out of my life. Example resenting the fact I had to get my wife to help me get dressed among other things,
Since this is chordie I will mention not being able to play guitar or piano frustrated me. What has helped me was when I started to enjoy what I could do and forget about the could not part. Apart from the pain I can't drive due to medication I am on. When I saw what happened to Tiger Woods it made me glad I have other people to transport me. My friends and fami;ly all offered valuable suport and made me feel their love in a way I havent experienced before. Having musician friends saying Peatle tell us what you want to be played on guitar, piano or any other instrument has humbled me. So my life changing expirience for me has been accepting things don't always stay the same but we can learn to enjoy our day in other ways. I hope that makes sense,
Bluejeep I like what you said keep laughing and the fact there are people worse off than us. Aside from that I am an 18 year old inside an old man's body.

OZ has produced many a fine country artists plus poets such as Banjo Paterson.. I wrote these words about the body slowing down about a month ago. Looking at your post I thought I would share them.
Worn Guitar.
The guitar I use to play has grown older and plays better than me.
It's body batterd by time just like me.
It can dance with anybody I can just dance with me.
Poems and songs once familiar I have forgotten.
Put in the right hands my old six strings and wood remembers them all.
The doctor looks at my body worn and battered.telling me thats your destiny.
My voice is still singing while my body's melody has lost it's harmony.
Young hands pick up my old worn guitar in the same condition as me.
With a gentle caress my guitar sings better off for it's age than me.

Re: What is Talent? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
TF I think the thing with having talent is it is something people are born with in differant degrees. What most probably is the add on is how hard you want to work at your given talent. Is this something you do for yourself or others. I know talented muscians that love music but their passion to work hard at something takes them in other directions. One of my Aunties was an example she was a very gifted painter. Her passion was teaching young women Science and Maths. When she retired from teaching she started to paint pictures to sell, She made more money doing that than she did teaching. I asked her once why didnt you sell paintings when you were teaching. Her answer was, When i was teaching it was something I loved and the paintings I did were done with love. I would give the odd one away to someone but I would never sell any of them. Now Im retired from teaching I have developed expensive tastes and I know my paintings sell. I paint with the dollar in mind to fund the things I truley enjoy. I enjoyed my teaching career it was my vocation in life and I would never had swaped it to become a full time or part time artist. My point is just because a person has a talent for music doesn' t always mean that becomes their main focus in life. I heard an interview on the radio a while back with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. The interviewer asked him what sort of music does he listen to relax. His answer years ago I could answered that with a wide selection of music. Now days when Im not working doing music when at home music is the last thing I want to hear. I have developed other passions.

Re: RETRO BUZZ RUMBLE (4 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
As a promo for your band I think your video works extremely well. The lighting effects and way you introduce the Band very nicely done, You can see you are all getting into what your playing making it fun which creates a good visual and listening vibe. What stands out to me is you havent gone for the band members outside of playing approach which spoils many a promo video I have seen.
