Gilliangirl Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Em7! Thanks for caring about me! I am still kicking! I have been spending hours.... HOURS, every day out at the farm where I board my horse. Bought a new saddle (could have bought a new guitar for what I paid for it), spending time grooming my giant plush toy of her winter coat (she no longer resembles a woolly mammoth), and cleaning up big piles of, well, it doesn't matter. As a result, my guitar playing is suffering, and I didn't have a lot of room for deterioration haha! I did get together with a good friend last weekend for a play 'n sing, and despite slacking off for the past few months, we weren't as bad as we thought we'd be. Notice I didn't say we were good; we just weren't as bad as we could have been. I am sort of working on a picking pattern for 500 Miles by Peter, Paul and Mary, so I haven't completely given up. I bought that Zoom Q3HD with the intention of using it for guitar, but I've been recording videos of Sable (horse) eating cookies instead. Oh dear, where are my priorities!?

G McBride Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The horse is a very soothing animal to mankind. I know because I share your passion for the horses. You will work out the time for both. Â Good to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guth Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Bought a new saddle (could have bought a new guitar for what I paid for it)  I can believe it. Many, many years ago I lived in a town down in West Texas. There were a couple of different saddle maker shops located right downtown. Sometimes when walking by, I'd stop to admire their craft. It looked like a LOT of work went into those saddles — real works of art.  All the best, Guth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack6849 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Karen, Â I too, was wondering where you were .... Monday, I ordered yet another set of bone bridge pins (with 4mm Abalone dot inlays) from Bob Colosi (for my Martin 000-42 Marquis), and at that time I thought about you and considered posing E-minor7's ("where is Gilliangirl?") question to the Forum myself, but he took care of it for me... Glad to hear you're well and equipped with new riding gear. Â The Peter Paul and Mary version of 500 Miles is one of my all-time favorite folk tunes. They fingered it in "D" but it works well in most open keys. Â (Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey often used capos to provide different "voicings" for their guitars in order to play more effectively off one another. In fact that's one of the little "secrets" of the "authentic" PP&M Folk Music sound of the '60s. One key, played in two different fingerings, and at different places on the neck can make two acoustic guitars sound really spectacular together, especially when finger-picking is involved.) Â Anyway, Karen, it was good to hear from you, Jack6849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Fine to hear you are up and goin'. Imagine the horse is eager to get on grass now. Â And congrats on the new saddle (was it adjustable). Leather craftmanship is great. I even get a kick from my guitar straps. Keep swinging those 6-strings ~ . . . and long live Peter Paul & Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so hard to see what they're doing in those dark, fuzzy old 1960's film clips haha! I did the stupidest thing...... I was working on a nice picking routine for this but failed to write it down.
