My favourite things.

Inspired by a post on another forum.


Feel free to add or jeer or cheer.


Thile and Sam bush and jethro on fire
Epis and washburns Sounding higher, higher
Now it’s all done the feeling of new strings
These are a few of my favourite things

Solid bodies with the amp up to ten
Having a jam and you catch up again
Paid in the week that you’ve gigged with your bling
Just a few more of my favourite things

When the pick bites, when the chords barks
When the chops in time
I have many more but this list is a start
And that’s why I feel so fine ...


J d and bela and Noam on banjo
Playing for hours and where did the time go
Cracking jazz solos from don s or co
You think I’ve finished but I haven’t so...

Polishing fretboards and kittens in cases
Feeling the love from the crowds smiling faces
Compton and grisman and Marshall and hull
I think I’ll stop here before it gets too dull...

Nice work!

When my E breaks
When my timing stinks
When it makes the wife so sad
She just remembers her favorite thing
And goes for a ride in her Cad

What's that U in favorite about, mate?

Did you see where he's from, mate? That's how it's spelled Down Under.

The Origins of the Two Spellings of Favorite

“Favorite” and “favourite” share a common backstory with other words in the English language. The word “color,” for example, is spelled with an “-or” ending in American English, while in British English it’s spelled “colour.” There are plenty of other examples: “flavor” and “flavour,” “honor” and “honour,” “rumor” and “rumour.” The list could go on and on.

For a long time, there was no consensus on how words ending with -or or -our should be spelled in Britain. We know that Samuel Johnson, the famous British lexicographer, had a strong preference for the -our versions of words, as is evident from his 1755 dictionary. On the other side of the pond, an equally famous American lexicographer, Noah Webster, wanted to make the English language used in America truly American. So, his 1828 dictionary recommended the -or spellings of the disputed words. To this day, Webster gets a lot of credit for influencing the way Americans write English.
