Zurf, You can put a Baby Taylor in a large briefcase and its light and plays loud, I don't think there's a legitimate excuse now not to take a guitar with you.
You could use it for a paddle if you go to a river camp too.

Topic: Pick up for Resonator (0 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
I play a one man band show and am about to use a triphonic resonator for rocking blues and the (all brass) resonator sounds great without a pickup off stage and I want to amplify the same sound on stage. At present I am using a Seymore Duncan Woody on an old acoustic cheese grater and it sounds good. Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Is it weird to miss your guitar (38 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I feel I'm totally rude, I take my (Baby) Taylor wth me and pack my wife. My children like me playing to them at bedtime, usually making up prose they can relate too. We visit friends and I play my baby in their company, I think they think I"m weird, but I don't really care. People usually ask me to play, besides life's to short not to play. When I met my wife I was playing. She often quips about my guitar being my first love, but without her I could not play or grow and because of this I love her. Shit I gave up work to play. I know I'm weird.
I know a girl bass player who has written quite sensual songs about her bass. How it was big and strong etc. I don't think she was weird.

Re: Looking for lyrics or ideas (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Everyones got a story or a dream, most people that listen can relate. I start many songs with lotsa words, and I think they are corney, then I distill the essence of the song into lyrics. A song may be 40 verses long but after drastic surgery just the essence is there. Ive written a song about waitin for a train, another about dog poo another about Coal Mines, gat yerslf a life etc. In all cases peole have enjoyed the song and at a recent festival I played I heared people singing lines out of one of my songs. Instant Headswell!
