Chicken Scratch....a guitar lick made famous by Jimmy Nolen who went on to play in James Brown's band. You hear a lot of chicken scratch in 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag' One of Nolen's first examples are on this J. Otis record. You will recognize the 'chicken scratch' once you hear it.

Dear darling Linda, You have become a huge part of this board while you have been on your nicotine free journey. On every step of the way, you have shown your determination to quit and your care of others. I know it hasn't been an easy year for you. Life has given you some real struggles and sorrows but, you have persevered and come out the other side a very powerful woman. This metamorphosis has been extraordinary to witness... here are some excerpts from your introductory thread, posted August 1, 2018: "...I have been experiencing so much depression and feelings of helplessness lately and a big part of that is the fear of what smoking is doing to me. I have been ashamed of my addiction for a long time and just want to stay home to smoke. I have lost all motivation in so many things that I enjoy. Sometimes I feel like I would just like to give up. I don't feel I can share these feeling with anyone close to me. Today is a new day and I am starting it with the challenge of not having that morning smoke. That is a tough one. I will lean on you all and pray that this time I can have some success! " Well, you have built a most sturdy and successful quit, indeed ! Thank you for not giving up on yourself ! We love you so much and are so very happy to celebrate your first year with you. Thank you for sharing your support, your love, your humor and your quit with us, thank you very, very much. Others have used the metaphor of a chrysalis in this celebratory thread, it is completely apropos. Oh, hope you celebrate wildly ! We are all here with bells on ! NOPE-ly yours and with all love, your friend, S
