Hi guys, thanks for your listens and brilliant comments. I'd like to reply to you all individually but I'm rushing to get ready to go on holiday, packing and stuff. I hope to find a pub with Wi-Fi to keep up with things.
See y'all in acuppla weeks.

just remembered one, you have to use your imagination for this one, it used to get a good laugh;

cop stopped me on the way home, he said what's your name?

i said nuttall

he said what make of car is this?

i said vauxhall

he said, what you got in the boot (trunk)?

i said ffffffffootball boots

this side of the pond we can buy just plain old lemonade in a bottle or on draft, like beer. assuming that you cant your side of the pond it's like 7 up or lilt, which we have to ask for in spain etc, cos they don't do lemonade.

i make that point because i've seen US movies where people sit on the porch drinking home made lemonade from a pitcher! personally, i like bubbles in my lemonade/beer and as cold as ice.:P

I'VE GOT A FEW IN THE FRIDGE, BYE

hi jandle, i'm so strapped for time at the moment that i haven't had time to get around to it. i'm hoping to start tomorrow (monday) the one thing about delaying the start is all the different arrangements i'm dreaming up....i'll let you know when i post.

hey bill, the program is called "chopro" and if you read the stickies at the top of this forum it will tell you how to make it "all purdie like"

but basically it's just;

[song*]
{t: song name*}            shape of the brackets are imperative
{st: your name/tag*}
chords must be placed in brackets in capitols [G*] thus
chorus...{soc*} = start of chorus
{eoc*} = end of chorus
[/song*] =closes the song off and activates chopro

hope this helps. include the asterisk's out as without them chopro would activate and it would all be useless

I read a lot of historical fiction, stories based on fact. I also love history, but the old saying is true; "history is written by the winners"

When you think of all the wars, massacres and decimations that have happened since man evolved, it's a wonder that the human race has survived this long.

The Romans wiped out half of Europe in their bid to civilise it? The catholic church continued that policy world wide for hundreds of years.

Now we have dictators and terrorist leaders that want to wipe out humanity in the name of God. Is it any wonder that I'm becoming an atheist?

Rant over. Thanks for looking and commenting, a recording will follow shortly.

Thanks Phill

going back to major/minor chords for a sec, one of my favorite bands namely YES, seem to end a song or two by going from a minor chord to a major chord which has a stunning effect.

there's also an old yardbirds song called "she's not there" where the song is in a minor key then changes to a major for the chorus then back.

the americanism; OK comes from the scottish; och aye meaning well yes!

our jelly is your jello

your chips are our crisps

your french fries....well they're just awful, we (in wales) call them skinny chips

your beer is our lager, beer to us is mild or bitter (it's not really bitter, or warm)

our plectrum is your pick

our bonnet is your hood, our boot is your trunk which to us is what an elephant has hanging down the front end

and ref mr harding; a harp is a mouth organ and slide guitar is bottle neck...go figure

who cares anyway, musos don't need to talk to be understood

Hi Jim, so profound, I'm just at a loss for words. I hope I'm included in those sentiments?

hi ryme, first post, not bad for nine years. don't worry you're very welcome and join in with the conversations.

it's very true all creation is art in one form or another and we all build on what someone else began.

Aw, come on Bill, it was funny? Wasn't it?
