As far as this thread goes, the next time I touch a Guild I'll be playing something by Greg Sage and the Wipers or something of my own...

I grew up and played originals around Portland when the Wipers were getting going in the early 80's - Greg was an amazing presence and did alot for music in P-town. Our band was more grunge than punk, except we didn't know it was "grunge" -we had just dressed that way since 3rd grade :lol:

Another new guy here, I like to start off with Wildwood Flower to see if I even need to keep trying.
Great site here, will try to keep up with everything. Lots of great information and fun.
I have a '79 D 25 CH, that I absolutley love. Had it for over 20 years and wouldn't take anything for it.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who played "Dance With Me". I sing that one to my little granddaughters. I also like to do "Pamela Brown", and another Kottke tune capo'd up 3 and played in "G", "Louise". In fact, that's what I named my electric guitar, "Louise".

Currently working on "Shot Full Of Love", and Cohen's "Alleluia" :D

I love you guys, but I can't stand the blues. Can I still post here?

Anybody else remember a song called "I Hate the Blues"? Can't remember who did it but some great lyrics...

I'm tired of rain songs and pain songs and blow out your brain songs
Songs about born to lose
I hate broken heart songs and torn apart songs and fell off the chart songs
I just ain't in the mood...

We all have steel string acoustics, curious about what different people play...

For me, right now:

I'm messing a lot with Leo Kottke's Pamela Brown, slide-free of course. Just a song I always liked. I don't play like Leo (duh), but I sure do sing like him... "Goose farts on a muggy day", I think it was.

Tom Waits, Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You, just a nice simple story song with all kinds of space to make interesting.

Also Tom Waits, Cold Cold Ground, taking that as nothing but simple chords and seeing what I can do with the right hand. Gotta love the song.

Been just beginning to play with a Dave Matthews song, Two Step. Always liked it, but just popped on the Live at Luther College version and thought "damn, I wanna play that". It's gonna take a while, but worth it.


Like I said, curious to hear what others are doing with these guitars we talk so much about...

Ritchie Blackmore blows me away on acoustic!
