And been on my mind . I contacted chickenbone the last time and he did join , here is a few of his guitars that he has done , I was thinking of building one , so I contacted him again , I played one years ago (over 25 ) and back then I thought it was a sort of joke , I was to young to appreciate what it was !! But I do remember the cool sound it had ( vaguely ,was in a cloud ) so I thought I would see if anyone had one or two here ?? if so please share . I think I may try to build one this month and put the vid up on the whole thing , if there is enough interest , hell even if not , still will do it Anyway here are a few pics of some of what he has done

wish I had all of them still with me over the years , little over a year ago , I was broke into and some of my nicest where stolen , really sucked , the equipment that was taken was no big deal , it sucked but it was only equipment , but you steal a guitar , it's just low !! call them my ol' friends cause .....they don't talk back , they don't take hours to get ready , , they don't have a shoe fetish , they don't crash your car ( whole other thread !!) they don't ask if they look fat in these jeans, and they are always fun to be around !! http://forums.songstuff.com/gallery/image/1263-im000631/ http://forums.songstuff.com/gallery/image/1262-201086875565-0/ http://forums.songstuff.com/gallery/image/1261-3033637s/ http://forums.songstuff.com/gallery/image/1260-ol39-friends/

david , that brought back memories for me , the old guy that taught me, well not taught , guided me , said " if you wanna make love to you guitar put down the pick !!" good stuff !! rock on !!

the cause isn't important really , the way I see it, it effect is what is expressed , think it is a pretty solid write !! rock on !

oh I'm a sneaky devil I am !!

wow , lol let me jump in here , the metaphore is fine , and been around , good use !!! down fall is not putting a beat to it , firstly , even those who know nothing of rap , but are good at lyrics , can follow, training wheels, and you want that for the fact , they are good at their craft , like you . and are stepping out of their box to read and critique the best they can , kudos for that !! onto the next , lyrics, some good stuff , but some lines just a word or two would make it more powerful , more on meaning then the stressed syllable or word . all three can take it to the next level, lol , we all know a simple word can make or break !! like the no purity line , fits well . but do a good read thru it and I think a word or two may jump out at ya , again if beats was added it would help , tho it is flowing well enough to grab the beat , reason , is you have 1000 of years of talent here , may not know your side of the craft , but know the craft , feel me ?? think this is a damn solid write , just a tweak on a few things would bring it up a bit rock on !!

my oh my !!! can I

firstly , is the song out there ? that is the first question ? if it is and it is a style of this company (some do scan ) , nut still , raise flag, !!! 350 , was there a contract , some do send them , mostly fraud , if stand they would come to you , and say "blah blah blah_ I am so and so , but it is not heard of , depending of a few things, if it seems to good ...... it more then likely is ,.

hey all , found this little tidbit on line and thought it was pretty good keep or sweep http://www.musicclout.com/contents/article-163-why-no-one-is-listening-to-your-music.aspx

thanks tom !! the guy is good and it was a very hard mix for all of them !! I feel the low end really helped pull things out , but just me , it is a very cool site and a lot of very talented cats there !! not a bad site to be a member of , they do a lot of competes and such again thanks !!! your a funny one !! like me , I hit vote first , but also listened to about 20 mixes , funny how different they are , amazing really that it can vary so much , from all the same tracks, goes to show how little I really know on this subject rock on !!

hey man , welcome to the site !! be sure to critique at least two other posts for every post you post ,cool , it is what makes this site work , !!!1 now onto your song you have a few good lines here , but some not so good ! and I feel your hook is a bit weak , the first line could work in the hook , after that it seems forced , the hook is what the reader/listener will remember , this misses the mark a bit , in your verses the story kind of flip flops , and again seem forced on the rhymes, try to use metaphors and such , to keep the story fresh and not book like , some good lines like I said but also you want to grab the attention of the people and hold them , also on this site if you have a beat to post with the rap , it helps a lot ,for a lot of us here are not familiar with rap, so it helps us follow what you are doing . I think the story if tweaked and re written you could pull it back to where you want it to be http://songwriting.s..._of_song_hooks/ and there is a lot more stuff on here for writing a solid lyrics, look around , have fun , if you need help in anyway , feel free to conyacyt me , rock on !!

tina , we are working hard to make this the best site for every level of artist, We know we will not meet everyone's expectations , but we will try , again , I thank you for your input. And hope you ( we) can move forward and make some sweet music !! as that is why I am here !!! for the music , thanks !!!!

voting starts at 5 eastern time for the public !!! lol
