sorry i guess i'd gone off on one.
i don't think they're odd at all. it's a story of a fella going off to work (i think he's not running on a full tank, if you know what i mean?) and the story tells of his day; picking up after others, looking at "glamour" photos in the daily paper etc. i think it's as good as elinor rigby in that it tells a tale and has a good melody. lets be fair, after nearly 60 years of song writing, he must be having difficulty finding new themes, musical and verbal.
as for paul simon; i bought one of his recent CDs and though the musicianship was top notch, the songs don't really hit the spot. i tried to find it but it'd buried deep amongst the other "also ran CDs"

Great question.
I often wonder if the greatest writer, Paul Mccartney
has got a great song left in him?
I`ve spent a lot of time thinking about this,the only answer i`ve
come up with, is many of his great songs were about every day subjects.
I think he now lives a less than humble life(& good on him he`s earned it)
also he does everything himself with out arrangers & song writing partner to bounce off.
So no i don`t think he`s got another great song coming.
Don`t know if this applies to Paul simon.
look forward to your opinion.
i have Pauls recent CD "New" on it is a track called "On my way to work" give it a listen i think it ranks up there with his best work...IMHO
i have 3 of those £1 shop stack-up racks, 2 of those drawer thingies and loose stacks. one of the racks holds my Beatles CD's and their solo's so i have a shed full of mccartney.
as keepitreal says, i seem to play the same dozen or so and the rest are what i thought i wanted at the time.
i must have bought the last car made with a CD player in along with the MP3. my son bought his car (same make) but his had an MP3 and sat-nav....i grew up on maps why should anyone want a sat-nav? or MP3 till i found how easy they are to use...
thanks amy, yeah i am enjoying W10 somewhat, somewhat because i haven't been able to try it out much...things, ya know?
any hoo, i had more or less decided after writing my last post (sounds ominous?) that i was going to keep vista, better the devil you know when you're fumbling around for the next track with 200 half-cut wedding guests waiting for the next dance?
i much appreciate the advice.

talking of laptops....i've got win10 up and running on my PC and apart from having to look for everything (as you do with something new?) it's going great guns.
now i'm running VISTA on my laptop which i must admit i only use for gigging now (if i need a quick on-line thing i use my tablet) so can i update to W10 on my LT? and if i can is it worth it? i need help. thanks phill
hello and welcome MUSICSPEAKS. i see you've waited a long time to make your first post. now that you've broken your duck, please come and join us more often.
i'm sorry i'm like your dad and know nothing about autoharps, but i hope you enjoy learning and playing yours.
phill
i would also like to welcome all the other first timers too...
I'd forgotten about it till I was speaking to a friend then I ran and switched the PC on and it downloaded straight away and that's what I'm using now only 4 hours after switching on. Still a bit confused but I guess I'll get there. Why isnt there a clock?
Game set and match. The twist in the tail got me there. Well done I likes it. BTW it's a well known fact that tennis players have soft balls 😂
It happens to me most of the time! I usually get great lines while I'm in the shower or bed. Funny how those are the best ones you've written if only you'd actually written them down?
I started taking a pen and pad to bed but the wife complained about the light coming on all the time and waking her up😴
Now I just write them down when I remember, which is why I have a backlog or my songs sound so disjointed. Never mind it's better to have a load that you can pick the best bits from 😇
so sorry to hear of your troubles. i cant imagine any of that happening to any of my kids. my thoughts and best wishes are with you and your son.
phill and ann.
only if it was really bad.
i cried the first time i sang "honey" i was reading the words as i sang it and decided not to sing it again...good plan.
i didn't want to read the link before adding my 5 pennorth. i bought the 25th anniversary CD last year and it's near the top of my play list and i cant understand why i didn't buy it at the time. i must say though that each time i listen to it, visions of him jamming with those great musicians and using their performances and claiming the writing plaudits does rankle. but once i get past that i can settle back and enjoy some of the best music of my generation.
i've read stories of lennon getting stuck for a word or line and whoever happened to be there chipping in with something but never getting so much as a nod. i guess all writers pinch stuff from others, some get away with it, some don't...eg george harrison and "my sweet lord"
great idea, unfortunately i'm struggling to draw a pension though i still have plenty of lead in my pencil 
dondra, are any of us strangers? we are all joined together by a golden cord which is love and the love of music. i have never met any chordie members yet i feel that they are all friends yet to be met. i so hope you're feeling better and i'm glad bill is doing such a great job of looking after you, and i dare say you looking after him too! be well

TF waxing lyrical! you transported me to that place with those words, i could feel the gentle rain on my face as i was reading. i suppose i could imagine this to music, but would it spoil the vision? it would have to be a great tune to do it justice.
thanks amy. billy joel and sir (madam) elton, some great company here
i think he may have a point. last night i played a gig in pembroke and there was a young lady there that was displaying a rather nice sitting down compartment (trying not offend amy here!) and every time i played a bit of rock she rolled that thing about just like....well, a nice butt being rolled around.
the clip was very funny. i thought i saw a bra being thrown

I hope you're not inferring something Russell?

Thanks Beestie. I was hoping for rocky

Thanks Jim
Thanks bill I'm reading this just before heading out to my gig and you've put me in the stratosphere mood wise. Give my love to Dondra and my best wishes to you both.

Yes I am. The pianist is my granddaughter Darcie. The bare bun is female and comes from the north of England. And about as erotic as a pigs buttock. Thanks for the like. Phill

many thanks for listening to my other songs and giving good comments, would you please do the same with this one. it's quite a poppy (that's pop music)
thanks
