How songwriter's came up with lyrics to songs that will live forever. I wondered could this be a talent or could it been something in their soul and life that gave those the inspiration to write lyrics that touch the soul of millions. Perhaps a personal side of their lives put those into the words to those songs they wrote. I often wondered before,but recently more so. Thanks to Blake Hawkins who was kind enough to send me the lyrics. and I'm certain that many of you have a certain song which brings back memories of another time and place in your lives. I know they do to me and there are others who have a special meaning to me too numerous to write here. May the sun shine on your back and warm you as you walk through your lives and the light of Jesus shine in your eyes to show you the way. I know,I saw that light.Why do you think I'm here. God Bless all of you for trying to help me and you have.Special thanks to Reece Anderson for his support for me and to Mrs Jody ( I quit again) Carver and still another.."I CANT HELP IT IF I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU. the main reason I am here If you think I am corny you are right but the corn comes not from the corn fields but from my corny ole heart.
My Thanks and best wishes to all of you with or without pedals. And I really dont care what you wear when you are playing. TO EACH HIS OWN.. BE WELL. PS I broke my promise.Promises are made to be broken so the saying goes. Just keep Donna away from me with that Hi Speed hand piece with a 557 fissure burr. edited to say Please Help Me I'm Falling. I'll See You in My Dreams Joey A.Thanks for all the e mails I appreciated every one of them.edited to look for my brains,,I cant remember when I last saw them.oops I just found them. Thanks for helping "Make It Through The Night. The Knight Of Fender Tweed Has Spoken. (again). [This message was edited by Jody Carver on 19 February 2005 at 07:45 AM.] |

Thanks Jody for sharing with us again,,,and yes we DO know what you mean! When we hear those certain songs we think, "man that's the exact way I've felt before,,,why couldn't I have written that?" I also wonder why hearing a sad song makes me feel "better", I guess it's just knowing someone else has felt the same pain. And yes we KNOW you will get through this thing,,,,you have His promise! |

Jody-How great to see you back where you belong again. That was a facinating post! Those songs were all so meaningful in those days. I loved them and enjoyed playing everyone of them in those days, and even got paid for it! Both Pedal and Non-Pedal. I played some of them in my music room last night, just to see if I still could. And what do you know? I still could! Amazing!....al ------------------ |

CC Thank you but it's easy for you to say. I get complaints that my posts are boring and toooooo long,,so where's the mid point?, I told everyone I thought it best for me to leave for personal reason's and then they come back and do the same thing over..My e mail has a few calling me a preacher. If I cant make myself comfortable here and make a fool of myself,I'll just chuck the whole thing..Its not worth it..I have checked out twice before and Im back but I can assure you and the others after this...

Welcome Larry Dont beleive all that you hear. I am greatly overated as a steel player and any other things you may have heard. There is a western swing band back east here in Connecticut by the same name as your group. They too call themselves "GunSmoke" and they do some real great western swing. You dont have to call me Mr.Carver it makes me feel old just as everyone else does call me Jody OK? I do want to commend you for the respect you show.But Jody will make edited for spelling Thanks and remember the name is JODY [This message was edited by Jody Carver on 19 February 2005 at 07:26 PM.] |

Jody: In answer to your question about how songwriters come up with lyrics, I would refer to Hank Locklin, who in my opinion is one of the greatest. He belived, as I do, that the songs come from a higher power, from God. One just has to be attuned to that wave length. His favorite saying, "I don't write 'em, I just write 'em down." |

Thank you for the welcome Jody, I ran across this bands web site while trying to set one up for us. First thing I checked was to see if they had a steel.lol...I think they are a 5 pc. and we're only 4. We don't do as much swing as I would like, but we do a couple of Bob Wills tunes, and Ginger, my wife and our bass player does a terriffic job on Patsy's version of FADED LOVE,tons of Ray price and Merle. Now that's COUNTRY!! Looking forward to a lot more fun playin, and a good time here on the forum. Larry S. |

Larry Gunsmoke does have a fine steel player in Jeff DiMaio,he plays an Emmons pp guitar and he and Scott Tyler who is the lead guitarist do some real tight twin guitar work.They are well rehearsed and overall they are excellent. Good to hear from you. Have a goodnight Jody |

Alright CUZ, I've been leaving you alone lately, for reasons we all know, but now is the time for this ole Georgia cracker, to start pestering you again. I HEREBY start trying to CRACK your shell again, Be FOREWARNED ! You've been talkin about all those old standards that we all know and love, so why don't you put your fingers and bar where your mouth has been Why not treat us to your interpretation of those old standards in your own personable style and record us a couple of C D's with your steel (even if you record them in your own home)and please All your forumite brothers ? I think that would be a real labor of love for all of our forumites to have. Can you imagine it folks? New material from one of our heros, and we know he can still do if from hearing him last Sept. in St. Louis.

I'll buy that. "Poinciana" A beautiful song that I like. It would make a good steel solo. I have an LP with David Rose orchestra and I have tried to play along with it. I would like to hear Jody play it with his own style........al ------------------ |

WHAT??? where does it say I recorded Poinciana show me....I do play it but have never recorded it..your thinking of Der Bingle Bing Crosby not me. Show me...edited I guess I did record it after all. Vaughn Monroe 1951 RCA..it paid scale. $2.00 per note,I played 4 notes you figure it out I dont have my calculator. Vaughn Monroe hogged the tune while I sat like a dummy but got paid...the total was $4.75 I forgot the overtime . Your Voice speaks to me of Love.All I did was a glissando where he sings "Trade Winds" and Magic fills the air,,,it was magic they paid me [This message was edited by Jody Carver on 21 February 2005 at 09:16 AM.] |
