Hello and welcome to chordie.

Wow such an angry first post. Well written and I hope first of many.

Why not go to chat and introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself. We are happy to help with advice or just discuss stuff. Are you a musician? I expect someone will ask if you intend to make it into a song?

Sounds harrisonesque? At the start then goes haywire😁. Lifelong Beatles fan might have something to do with it.

Hi Brian, for some reason this thread has come up twice so, the butt in question belongs to a lady who was great fun till she beat up her fella. I put it in for that reason, it seems to fit

Thanks for the great comments. The "girl" in the PIC was actually a 60year old woman who later beat up her husband. I took the PIC in benidorm 2 years ago. She was great fun up to that point.

well done nice song and melody. i agree wholeheartedly with the first two verses as i worked in a factory for 20 years doing 12 hour shifts and gigging at weekends. when i started my kids were babies then one day i woke-up and they were taller than me with kids of their own. sad but true. and again great song.

my suggestion?  where did the years go

Well, you haven't met my in-laws yet - we're all (me, wife, mother- father- brother-in-law) vacationing in Yosemite right now, and my mother-in-law - while a dandy guitar player & singer - has been driving everyone up the wall the entire time.

you aint met my MIL(stone) which you should be thankful for, she passed on last year and she used to be the life and soul of any gathering till alzheimer's set in. before that  she would do anything for a laugh, but such a pain in the car, she'd actually cross everything, legs, fingers, eyes everything and she'd be praying all the time and i'm the safest driver i know...honest. my FIL (father in law) was a cornet player and after he retired he bought an organ and taught himself to play it to entertain the crumblies at the local old folks home, sadly, he's no longer with us either.

I read some where that Ringo did it,but begrudgeingly.
He hates drum solos.
Hey Phill i see our song`sad clown` doing great on Soundcloud.

Ringo is a good drummer if you go and look at the concert for Bangladesh you will see he is very good as they show him playing with another drummer. I do think Ringo was the one too do the solo.

thanks, but i have to say that it was jim (TIGLJK) that wrote the words, i just added my take on the music and voice and stuff. it is jims song

in actual fact i'm still trundling along on W7...! but by the sounds of it, i'm glad i missed 8 & 8.1. my daughter is using 8 on her LT and i have to show her how to do a lot of stuff... and i'm old and close to decrepit! no joke, though her kids (11 & 12) are really hot. anyway thanks for the heads up...much appreciated.

there have been lots of beatles conspiracies, not least the one about the replacement paul. mine i think is nearer the realm of reality.

it concerns the drum solo on abbey road... i just cant believe it's ringo playing it. there are so many reports by the other beatles that paul would hang around after sessions and re-do ringo's drum parts. they all agree that ringo plays a mean "rock steady" beat, but never a mention of a drum solo. george martin commented that if ringo put in a drum fill he would half the beat!
paul plays drums on many of his solo records, especially when wings were left in the lurch on the band on the run album. mccartney is an accomplished drummer. therefore i submit that it is paul not ringo that plays the solo on "carry that wieght". what do you think?

having just joined this thread i want to go back to the yes and chris squire post. it was soooo gratifying to see the young members of the orchestra enjoying and rocking along with the band. i hadn't actually seen this concert before so a big thanks to TF. as a FYI, the only time i saw yes live was at cardiff on the topographic tour. and when my marriage finally gave-up the ghost topographic was the only yes album i left behind for the b...sorry ex. i still haven't replaced it as i think the live renditions are better.

NOW GENESIS.

i had all their early albums but i heard a friends "broadway" so i didn't buy another till "we cant dance"

the boy says looking puzzled " whats a radiator?"

my wife puts her head in her hands and i just crack-up, it's not the joke it's the way my audience shake their heads and tut, tut.

FYO, i checked out their name on the interweb and it appears they are a true company! there is a skunk radio and they do do promotion of new and emerging artistes. i checked them and they are on linkedin (like most of us) and they have a web site, but that means nothing. you could be losing a great opportunity here or it could be someone using their name for a scam. don't send your best track, as they ask, but send something and if they ask for money...get out of dodge.

try the "FREE COMPANIES CHECK" if you want to check them. nothing ventured nothing gained or lost

and no they haven't been in touch with me
