I don't know why but rubbing BioFreeze on a cramp will stop the cramping almost immediately.

I tried making backing tracks using BIAB and was able to make some that were decent. Then I found https://www.karaoke-version.com/. They have hundreds of songs that you can customize by mixing the instruments/vocals any way you want and they cost $2.99 a piece. I found that much easier than trying t...

Usually at this time of year I would be getting my sailboat ready to be launched by May 1st. Since the marinas are temporally shut down that has been put on hold. A friend suggested that I try to create a song in my downtime and this is what I came up with.

Jeff, thank you for your post I have never thought of it that way. I do have a question about the common chords that G and A share. As you mention the Bm is a common chord but it appears that the D chord is also a common chord. Would it be permissible to use that as well?

Thanks,
Jim

I just purchased an 8 string lap steel from Ryan Rukavina that was very reasonably priced and should last a lifetime. I called him up and told him what I wanted (scale length, bridge and nut material, pickup etc.) and he built it for me. Jim https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/672_Lap_Steel_...
