Bob Crain replied to Mike Rawlins's discussion Baring my soul in the group Songwriters"Mike, you will find in reading some of the current discussion that the object of songwriting and especially on this type of occasion is to get laid..... hope it works for you! LOL Actually the lyrics are nice an excellent effort, keep on writing!"
Bob Crain commented on Dan Gabel, Editor & Group Publisher's group Songwriters"Jud, Now if you can just figure out how you get laid in the deal, it would be a real sweetheart deal."
Bob Crain commented on Dan Gabel, Editor & Group Publisher's group Songwriters"That's nice Bill, the incident certainly deserves a sad song such as yours.

Thanks for you kind words, and you are right - I just gotta keep doing my best to express myself, without worrying about putting myself out there. Keep in touch!

Edward Sparks said… Hey Bob,
I went to your page and saw some of your pics...there is one from a visit you made to the Martin Museum and took a picture of the exhibit with Crosby, Stills and Nash...in the bottom right hand corner is a miniature guitar (000-45) in a little case that I created! Here is your picutre:
Here is the story from the Sounding Board Newsletter about my miniature.

- Oops, that S was a typo...It's a standard D28. My D28-12 is in the shop right now getting a neck reset and refret...when I get it back it will be kept tuned an whole step down for songs I can't sing that high on...like McCartney's "We can work it out." I have a 1980 Guild 12 string I kept strung with extra lihgts and tuned to pictch, but the double truss rods in the neck keep it in check! Edward

Hi Bob, welcome to the songwriters group! We look forward to "talking" with you there about songwriting! I have a 1976 Martin S28 and a 1980 D 28 12string. Although I play pro, I have several guitars I use on stage but my D28 6 string is my home guitar for writing and recording. Maybe you could post some of your songs here. I have become pretty good friends with another guy from Australia named Ken Brodie, he is from Darwin Northern Territory...don't expect you to know him, but he is a great writer and player/singer...you might want to get in touch with him. So, welcome!
Edward
