A few days ago I launched a new section on Greasy Lake. It can be found under the Songs section of Drop the Needle and features chords to just about all released Springsteen songs. The section is actually the much celebrated Springsteen Chords site which from now on will be part of Greasy Lake. Springsteen Chords has for a long time been praised as the most extensive collection of Bruce chords anywhere and it's been featured in Greasy Lake's link collection under Top Sites along with such brilliant sites as Backstreets, BruceBase and Lost in the Flood. However, Josef Schefel who created Springsteen Chords decided to hand the reins over to someone else, and that became yours truly. However, unlike Josef I'm not a musician myself and know next to nothing about chords, so you won't find me transcribing chords to all of Bruce's upcoming albums. Not that it was Josef who did it before. In the future as in the past it will be up to all the musicians out there in cyberland to help maintain the chords collection. And I know there are many of you. I'm always amazed at how many Springsteen fans play the guitar themselves and who have been inspired by his music to pick up the guitar in the first place. I'm sure, if Bruce is aware of this, it's something he is extremely proud of.

So check out the new home of Springsteen Chords and also Greasy Lake's forum for musicians, Union Street. And thank you Josef for showing the confidence to give away your baby (if not any of your real babies :-)) to Greasy Lake.
