i have to apologize to TIGs for pinching his Cadd 9 chord, i tried it and i loved it.

also for some reason chopro has put my Dadd Bb chord as a D!. i play it by adding the Bb on the on the G string
sounds complicated....it's not or i couldn't play it

please UJB put me on your map, i've always wanted one of those pins

with just a little encouragement your song has evolved from another "knocking on heavens door" sound alike to "faith, hope, strength; survivor" which is what i think you should rename it. only a suggestion not a demand, another would be to stop trying to hide your voice, take a deep breath and push it out there as dylan does. i noticed you had a few high notes and you reached them with no problem, project your voice as a drama coach would say, do not be ashamed, sing to the back of the room not just to the mic a few inches away. once again....well done

hey jim, just had a listen and i'm so glad i encouraged you to add a chorus or two or three, they certainly add to a very touching and sincere song. and the last line "looking forward to growing old" is certainly a hankey time and means a lot to me. the chorus puts your stamp on a tune that bob dylan and many others, in original form and with their own words, have made classic.

well done.

hi jim,

your lyrics are so very moving, as i would expect from you. when i played it through before i heard you play it, i wondered why there was no chorus? as far as i'm concerned you are the master of the chorus! not that this song needs a chorus, but i feel it would add to the song.

i read somewhere that dylan never plays two verses of the same song the same, if you see what i mean? so if you're going for the dylan feel, you're there. if you want to put your own stamp on it; show us your strength. please don't take this as a criticism i just want to help.

always your pal

ahhh! never thought of that one.

i never touch cola or caffeine drinks anymore after i had a big heart palpitation event last year. so a beer only diet, shame that innit?

I played a VoxAC50 at a gig using a curly lead. The inputs are on top and I had my soft drink on top too. Whilst doing a bit of stage nonsense the lead knocked the drink over and into the amp electrics....

Lesson being, coke (the liquid kind) and valves do not mix.

Congrats on your new amp, turn up an enjoy, but feet only on top!

yep, i watched both matches and i found the NZ RSA game far more enjoyable. the Argentine kicking was immaculate and the Ozzies were organised and strong. but my money is on New Zealand

3 in a bed eh? i hope you and your tuners will be very happy

hi beestie, what time signature have you given it? i've tried it a few times and the only time i can get it to work is in 3/4 waltz time with a different set of chords. you're probably playing a uke? so i'd like to hear you play it so i can see where you are and maybe giving a little help.

having said that, it's a great story, well written.

Hi Jandle, I've seen the film of Gallipoli and the petulance of the English generals, Haig in particular really insenced me. The terrible waste of life and disregard of those lives just to prove a point! I hope he's still burning in hell....if there is such a place

Hi Dino, it tickles me when I hear Moslems say "Jesus Christ" one for them one for the rest of us. As a great American once said; I may not like what you say but I'll defend you're right to death to say it. Or something to that effect.
