Re: Christmas Gift

Very nice, Easybeat ... getting younger ones interested in music is a passion they can take with them through life. Thanks for this!

Re: Christmas Gift

i agree with TF, and of course your sentiments. all my grandkids will sit and watch me playing the guitar and i wish i had the patience to teach them to play but being self taught i think it would be better for them to teach themselves as they wont pick up my bad habits.

the song is great, cant wait to hear it.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
