Afternoon all,
I recently put a page up on myspace and have been amazed at the amount of untapped talent that has music up on the myspace community. There is also the opportunity to listen to music that you would otherwise never hear on the radio from all over the world. You've gotta love that fact alone.

Anyway this is just a wee message to say that I have managed to put 2 new tunes up on the myspace page recently,
'Reach Out' and 'The Hungry Line' now join 'Mia Culpa' and 'Chase the Blue Sky'

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the tunes

I've just been on the prince fan site Housequake.com and it appears that Prince is sueing his fans for one reason or the other. The 3 main ones have formed a coalition of sorts called PFU (prince fans united) to fight back at the somewhat crazy allegations etc.
Does this mean that he could sue chordie for having tabs/lyrics to any of his tunes that are up on the website.
I know that it sounds kind of silly but if you read the main press release from PFU it may make some sense.
Kind of strange

PRINCE FANS FIGHT BACK AGAINST ATTACKS
In an extraordinary, but not unfamiliar move, the rock legend Prince is using an army of lawyers to launch attacks on his own fans. Several of the largest web communities dedicated to the artist have received notices to cease and desist all use of photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince's likeness. It is our belief that these threats are not made in an attempt to enforce valid copyright as Prince alleges in his threats, rather we believe they are attempts to stifle all critical commentary about Prince. We strongly believe that such actions are in violation of the freedom of speech and should not be allowed. Prince claims that fansites are not allowed to present any artwork with Prince's likeness, to the extreme that he has demanded removal of fan's own photographs of their Prince inspired tattoos and their vehicles displaying Prince inspired license plates. Prince's representatives have requested that the fansites provide them with "substantive details of the means by which you [the fansites] propose to compensate our clients [Paisley Park Enterprises, NPG Records and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG)] for damages..."

The owners of the three largest fansites supporting Prince: www.housequake.com, www.princefams.com and www.prince.org supporting Prince have come together to fight back to what amounts to an injustice to the fansites and the very fans who have supported Prince's career, many since the very beginning nearly thirty years ago.

It is their hope that Prince will reconsider his position and allow these fansites to continue their existence without constant threats from Prince and his attorneys. Should this not be possible, the fansites are fully prepared to defend their position in the proper court of law, as well as fully prosecute any claims to which they are justly entitled.

The owners of housequake.com, princefams.com and prince.org acknowledge that, while Prince is entitled to control of his copyrights, it should be within the law. The law clearly provides for displaying of images of a celebrity's likeness for newsworthy events or matters which are considered to be public interest. All three websites feel that the photographs and/or likeness displayed on their websites clearly fall within the public interest category. Additionally, the use of photographs is legal based on the fair use doctrine, i.e. the displaying of album cover art, or the collage headers created by website members using a variety of different photographs.

Ok, here is the Question.

I decided to defret one of my old acoustics as i wsa bored of my acoustics and I'm looking for tips on what gauge strings to use and any tips about how to go about getting the most from an acoustic that happens to be fretless. I've still to put fret markers on.

Any tips folks

Just a quick post to let you know that I have posted a new tune on my web page. It's called 'Reach Out' and is an attempt to play using DADGAD tuning, I don't have many of those lying around.

Also, thanks to anyone who's went and listened to the tunes.
