Sorry I'm running a bit late, but for Octobers suggestions, I'm going to stick with what I did before, as we seem to end up with a good degree of randomness. If anyone has any feedback, happy to discuss either here or in PM.

For October 2024 suggestions you'll need to follow these steps:

    1) Got to https://randomwordgenerator.com/

    2) Generate 4 random words

    3) Put those words in our topic here!

Note you don't need to pick the four in the first generation, any four will do!!

Look forward to reading what you all RANDOMLY SUGGEST.

READY ... SET ... GO!!!

Nice tune, but totally different to how I heard it in my head ...

Heh - nice song, I was thinking about waking up my teenage son, but we were out late last night at a performance, and he came along to support me (and now it's a Sunday) - so happy to let him sleep in for a while ... in my head I'm hearing it with a jug blow, mouth harp and slide guitar, so I'll be interested to see how it sounds outside my head smile

Cheers

Hi,

If you get the chance, write the words of the last verse down on here so I can have another listen.

I don't know what else to tell you, it was a story from long ago, we all survived, except the spider and a chain saw that was thrown. The chainsaw kinda stopped, I was glad for that feature, the spider was dead, she no longer moved, but her children came out alive ...

Thanks for listening in!! The recording was just on my phone, and my son took a few happy snaps as well.

Cheers

Hadn't heard this one, but we had the same situation in Australia - breaking out and writing your own songs was a rare thing, but became more common in the 70's and was somewhat of a norm by the 80's ...

neophytte, that was great, really enjoyed it.  Liked the lyrics, the way you sang in it, including the little speaking bit haha and of course guitar wise, it suited the song very much.  Look forward to hearing the next verse.  Maybe you could right more about your reaction in the 3rd verse or make up something that happened for a 3rd verse smile

Thanks - it took a bit of extra effort to set up, mix down, and do the video editing; but it does make it look a bit better. I might try and mix one of the other songs I did the same way ..

Cheers

I wrote this song last year which is somewhat comedic, based on a true imaginary story of a spider jumping on me:

I'm still missing a third verse, so suggestions are welcomed!
