Hi - I'm back and trying to access my songbooks and some public songbooks but continually get error message as below

mySql reports that there is an error Got error 12 from storage engine

Can anybody help?  I have tried all of the normal fixes but nothing works.

This one came to mind immediately - It's for my Dad by Nancy Sinatra

I think I have the sheet music around somewhere but it may take a few days to sort out

Hi

Julian Lennon's song Saltwater is very evocative to me with the line "We're so enchanted by how clever we are" contrasted by all of the things we are getting wrong in the world.
Another very powerful song is "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holliday which uses quite striking imagery to describe darker times in the Southern States.

Hi

I don't know a lot about these guitars but I believe they were manufactured from1989-1997, the specs are Spruce Laminate Top, Mahogany Back and 1 Piece Mahogany Neck,
Rosewood Fret Board, Rosewood Bridge CF laminate.  As it is not specified I presume the sides are also laminate. The price is a bit much.  Have a look around they are available from $75 up to $199 depending on condition. I would leave well alone unless you can get the seller to lower his valuation.

Regards

Hi Harold

Welcome to Chordie.  I believe this is a jazz chord notation where a "-" symbol indicates a minor chord and the "o" symbol denotes a diminished chord therefore the chord you are looking at is Ab dim. 
You can find alternative fingerings here http://www.chordie.com/voicings.php?tun … ord=Abdim.
If I am wrong on this somebody will put me right soon enough.

Ian

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas wherever in the world you are and however you celebrate this wonderful holiday.  May you all get everything your heart desires.  More importantly may the good Lord bless us all with peace and happiness.

Hi Allisloth

The chords are already here http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 71080.html although I think the lyrics aren't quite right

Looking back I've done a lot in my time.  Medical records clerk (18 years old and working with 33 women - I learnt a lot!!), small business advisor, customer service rep for Vodafone, purchasing spares for the Royal Navy, purchasing manager for a conservatory company, teacher of IT to adults, teacher of English to foreign nationals (mainly Libyan and Algerian), and for most of the last 10 years a computer network technician and installer of servers and IT systems for small and medium sized companies.  I also dabbled in computer multi media systems providing information systems in a variety of companies such as airports and sports stadia.  I really loved the hands on computer stuff but my employer decided I was no longer useful.  Due to changes in Health and Safety legislation I am not allowed to install network cabling, server cabinets and routers.  In the UK now you need to be a qualified electrician to install cabling of any kind.  I couldn't believe he refused to allow me time to retrain for something I am already expert in.  Currently looking to get back into training as this is something I really love doing.  I have also been registered to provide First Aid in the Workplace for many years.

Hi Russell

So glad that it's nothing more than gallstones.  I send you my best wishes that everything goes well with the surgery.  I'm sure it will be a great relief to be pain free.

All the very best

Hi guys

I'm a lefty and proud.  My early education took place in 60's UK when teachers tried everything to force me to be right handed even to the point of tying my left hand behind my back.  I refused to be bullied even at the age of 5.  As far as the guitar is concerned my parents didn't even think a guitar could be right or left handed when they bought me a KL classical at Christmas 1969.  I tried for 3 months to get to grips with it as a right hander but eventually gave up and threw it to one side.  My dad was put out when I stopped playing but when I explained the problem he disappeared with the guitar to his workshed and a few hours later brought me it back with the bridge and nut adjusted and all of the strings on the right way round.  It was so much easier to play.  The only trouble I have ever had since is with chord diagrams (Chordie has solved that as you can turn them around) and learning TAB - the TAB issue might just be down to me though.
