Hi Martin,
I'm into all sorts of music. Mainly Country / rock. But a bit of everything.
A couple of us get together on a Sunday eve and learn a few new tunes. Mainly easy singalong type tunes.
As for talent. I am the opposite of you. I'm not too good of a player.
David
Anyone around the Blantyre, Glasgow, Lanarkshire areas looking to get together on a semi regular basis to try and improve?
I can strum along to most things and would like to get together wilth fellow chordians so we can all improve.
If you are up for it drop me a line and we can arrange a get together.
David
Hi chordies,
I have two Staggs an acoustic and an electric.
The acoustic is one of the best I have played and I cannot tell the difference between it and one costing hundreds more.
The electric is awesome. I bought it simply because it was a stagg. However it looks great and plays like a dream.
For my money some of the best value guitars you can get.
Merry Christmas
David

UYK,
Do we still have pound notes?
I haven't seen one for ages.

I think we should have a british football (can't really bring myself to call it soccer) team. However it should be composed entirely of amateurs. Bit like Queens Park or the SFA.
There are enough really good players in the various conferences / juniors to make it happen.
But then at the start of every season i believe that Rangers will win the League, both cups, the champions league, the super cup and be recognised as the best team on the planet. All of this while playing football that makes Brazil look like a bunch of Sunday league hackers.

Reading the posts about rain and eyes. Got me thinking about another one.
Songs about states. Not emotional states but United States and not towns or cities that could be another one.
In fact are there any states without a song about them.

If you were to form a band what would you call it and why?
My band
Cillit and the Bangs - After the all pervading advert on UK TV
or
The Sweet Gene Vincents - After the Ian Dury & the Blockheads song about Gene Vincent
or
The Offside Rule - Because no everyone will understand it.
or
The Geometric Joints - Because it's Hip to be square.
What's yours called?

Craig,
You are not reading Fly Fishing by J R Hartley are you?

Recently I have started learning the Solfa system for music training and I have to say it is very impressive.
http://uk.geocities.com/exeteryoungstri … system.htm
I had tried other traditional teaching methods before and got nowhere fast. After just a few weeks I can play in different keys, understand and read standard music notation and recognise the structure and layout of songs. (all quite badly I must add but it is getting much much better. Give it a few months and it will be like night and day.)
Does anyone else have any experience of the solfa system and what do you think of it?
David Grant
Either SHA or Freebird would be a worthy winner.
However how about something a little bit more commercial like Hotel California or Take It Easy by The Eagles

Today (Sept 20th) is the 34th anniversary of the untimely death of Jim Croce.
As we have this topic going already why not play / listen to your favourite JC track and rememeber a great singer / songwriter. Like so many taken way too early.
David
Depends where I am.
When I am in Dublin then it's Country Mix 106.8fm plays a good mix of country / irish / easy listening.
When I am in Scotland then it's usually BBC Radio 2. Great presenters, great music and best of all NO adverts.

Hi Eagle Eye,
I didn't know George Strait was a rodeo star. I learn something new every day.
The only other great singing rodeo start I knew was the late Chris Ledoux.
Excellent artist.

There has always been a discussion about what makes country music. Back in the 80's I remember Barbara Mandrell ( i thinkit was , may have been Lorrie Morgan) having a hit with "I Was country when country wasn't cool". In the 90's Alan Jackson sang "Gone Country" all about pop starst jumping on the country bandwagon.
If you listen to some of George Strait's early albums they are totally different to the material he produces today. But one thing runs through the entire country music music genre. Good songs, sung well and in every single song a story.
Maybe that is what makes it. Country music is the storytellers music.
