Phil O'Keefe Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Who would toss their guitar into a waterfall? Now if it said "accordion" or "banjo", I could totally understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 Over Niagara in a Martin. Now there's a folk song waiting to be written, Johnny Cash style. I have a melody in mind but for now here are some lyrics: I'd go over Niagara in my guitar Lie down, get run over by your dad's car I might run away but I couldn't get far Your love near destroyed me and left a huge scar I can't run and hide And I can't get away 'Cause I need your love To get through the day. I'd live in a bucket if you said I should Climb trees like a monkey or live in the wood I'd give everything if you understood And I'd leave in a minute if only I could I can't run and hide And I can't get away 'Cause I need your love To get through the day. I'd drink all the raindrops if you gave the word I'd take to the sky like a great big ol' bird I'm dizzy and weak, my vision is blurred Don't need to be first, just second or third I can't run and hide And I can't get away 'Cause I need your love To get through the day.

Members DeepEnd Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yeah, sometimes I have a thing for lyrics, especially Country. Other times I can't write a lick. Fortunately, this wasn't one of the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emory Posted July 27, 2018 Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 Alright! Thai signs! (where I live, BTW).Those Alpine dancing girls are great. Their job title here is "pretties". I've seen help wanted ads asking for say "2 pretties"... "made from same plastic as your dashboard".... one may be a guy, FWIW...

Members Grant Harding Posted July 27, 2018 Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 I don't think guitars are a problem in the OP, just values from the guitar field in the foam table. Geek humour- snork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted July 27, 2018 Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 Only number 3 does the 'air guitar' move from 0:12 to 0:16 but they do get together for vaguely synchronized head nodding later. Sure it ain't Busby Berkely but who's complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted July 30, 2018 Members Share Posted July 30, 2018 Over Niagara in a Martin. Now there's a folk song waiting to be written, Johnny Cash style. It took a while to sit down and record it, and I made some changes to the lyrics but here's a quick and dirty recording of "Just To Get Through The Day": http://kiwi6.com/file/l0tm7eu8y4. I'd like to hear yours if you decide to record it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted July 30, 2018 Members Share Posted July 30, 2018 The second is a mistranslation of the Russian word for "dough": http://www.cetra.com/blog/translation-blooper-russian-menu-mishap/. "Dough" is "testo" and "father-in-law" is "test" so it's easy to make a mistake, although only one makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted July 31, 2018 Author Members Share Posted July 31, 2018 That's logical enough. Pig in a blanket - just as lurid though.that leaves "Happy Family in hot casserole". hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted July 31, 2018 Members Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hey good work deep end. Most people ask me not to record my songs. Johnny Cash is the complete opposite of my style but since you made a great effort there I feel honor bound to give it a go, just waiting for the new power supply for my Delta1010 interface, (which btw has been a sod to find [ 9v 3.5 amp ac/ac] ) so by the weekend.

Members DeepEnd Posted July 31, 2018 Members Share Posted July 31, 2018 "Happy family" is usually various meat, seafood, and veggies. The Chinese version is stir fried but "casserole" implies something baked, at least to me. Probably the same ingredients but baked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted August 5, 2018 Members Share Posted August 5, 2018 OK (Not my kind of song at all) but I like a challenge. here is my one take effort. If you are expecting production standards you ain't gonna get em. LoL VIDEO PULLED BAD YOUTUBE SOUNDTRANSFER TRYING AGAIN hope this sounds a bit clearer :-) [video=youtube_share;b50ZTQ9DGv8]https://youtu.be/b50ZTQ9DGv8 Adjusted Lyrics: Now a boy called Billy He had a guitar Wouldnt trade for a filly Nor a Chevrolet car A martin guitar - Good, wood Wouldn't let go of that old friend Rain or snow with it till the end Which was closer than he thought Now he played that thing On a river boat trip The dancing got wild And the boat began to tip Pandemonium Most held the rail He gripped the neck Jumped on the tail As he slid off the deck Floatin' Well the boat went down And so did the rails But Billy didn't drown cos a Martin never fails He plucked that ol' e string- still in tune Now the river got faster Swept him along The current was master No time for a song Hangin' on The river disappeared On round the bend A mighty roar he hear'd Was this the end? Niagara- Falls But Billy had trust In the old six String The bottom or bust It was a brotherly thing Big- Drop Over and down Under for a minute But Billy survived On the air that was in it Deep, breaths Well they pulled him out Guitar in hand He'd began to shout Lets start a band! And he played that martin Like never before PS a guy called Mark Redman just posted on the Martin site today, synchronicity "I paid more for my first Martin than I did for my first car. Wouldn't trade it for anything." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
