Re: Picks Around the World

zguitar - I keep a spreadsheet based upon the mileage shown on the google map - it shows 72,449 miles to date (through aquacash). I know there are chordie members from throughout the globe, but truly a small percentage of users visit the forum. I agree, it would be cool to see the package visit some more exotic locations!

Re: Picks Around the World

Jerry - Could you please post or email me a more specific location (more specific than UK) so that I may update the map.

Thanks.

Re: Picks Around the World

Thanks to Jerry I have now a box (this used to be a jiffy bag) with loads of goodies inside. I have CD's to copy and all sorts of stuff to look through, what a change since the first time I had it. Well worth a second look for you guys that had it early on like I did.

Whoever would like it next please email me and it is first come, first served wink.

Re: Picks Around the World

Well that did not take long. There is a new recipient for the box of goodies but it will take me a few days to sift through it before forwarding it on.

It will be heading back across the pond but as for who it is going to............................... well my lips are sealed wink.

Re: Picks Around the World

There was so much in the box and with Christmas as well, I was later posting the pick and things on than I intended. Anyway I posted them on Wednesday so they are on their way back across the pond.

Re: Picks Around the World

Well, Roger did such a good job keeping the intended recipient a secret that he didn't even tell ME it was coming!  WHAT A NICE SURPRISE to find a box of goodies waiting for me at the post office (my hubby thought it was his ink for his tattoo shop and was excited, then let down, then excited again when he sorted through it with me!).

It'll take me a bit as well to go through everything and check out some of these CD's and figure out something wonderful to add to it (perhaps a secret song just for the box????), but for whomever would like it next go ahead and send along an email to me!

Re: Picks Around the World

Sorry guys... I've been holding onto the package for a bit here... my son was using some of the learning dvd's in there and I didn't want to just take any of them out and not put them back in.  Also, I've wanted to add something of some sort of value to the box before just sending it back out (other than just a couple more picks as it's become QUITE more than just a package of pics now!!).  I expect this will be going out sometime this week (by Thursday is my plan) to the next lucky chordian. 

Jeff... I do believe this is going to a NEW recipient!  smile  At least... I think so looking at the growing list on the print out!  smile  I'll update as soon as it's been sent!

Re: Picks Around the World

Since the CDs are free for the taking I am assuming it's ok to copy some of the songs and send the originals on. Ok?

I took these and the reason for taking 3 of the same picks is one for me, one for my son, and one for my grandson. They are both chordie users.

Re: Picks Around the World

As an update and to keep the suspense going I'll just report that the "Picks" will be headed toward the left side of the USA in a day or two.

Re: Picks Around the World

I am surprised we have not  heard from the latest recipient. The box left here on 3-24-2011. (By truck) I sure don't want this fun experience to end on my watch.Hope we hear something soon.
