congratulations, and what a wonderful picture of a beautiful baby, she must have said "yes" after you went to all the trouble of getting the T shirt?

hi easybeat,

loved your song, hope you don't mind but as i read it this addendum clogged up my thoughts so in the hope that you'll add it to your already great song i've stuck it down

heaven is only a beer away
nirvana  a pint of pure pale ale
paradise found is a glass almost full
regret is the girl when your drunk that you pulled

hell is your head when you wake-up next day
there's some fool playing drums and he wont go away
there's bile in your throat and a chunder is near
still it's not closing time, so let's have one more beer.

when i was on holiday in turkey, they had a local beer, or bira locally, called efes, which is quite nice. but it appears that after all the brits holidaying there they must have been asking for "dark beer" known as mild here, they brought out a dark efes, one taste was enough. funnily enough i haven't seen it since...:)

over the years i've had lots of pedals beginning with a wem copikat, a cry baby wah wah, chorus, reverb/echo, fuzz, all individual pedals by the way. i then graduated to multi FX and never looked back. it all began with a korg acoustic pedal, cos i didn't like or want distortion as i was using an acoustic on stage. when i began using backing tracks i used my strat so i needed distortion i could control so i got a korg with distortion which eventually broke so i now use the boss ME50, but i secretly desire an ME80...don't tell the wife.

the pedal you buy will obviously depend on the sound you want and the ease of use to suit yourself. as have a good look around before you jump in only to regret it tomorrow.

you will be very welcome KIR.

i've done a little travelling and sampling of local delights. i once tried a cardiff beer called brains SK which i'm told stands for skull attack....the guy with me drank it too fast and deposited his lunch in the toilets. i couldn't finish my pint, so glad! tetleys had the same effect, and i believe they're now in partnership...go figure?

we had another little party on my patio tuesday night, with nibbles. i ate a whole pizza my self, which didn't go down too well with my family, it did with me, heavy on the pepperoni and cheese (welsh extra mature of course) and the weather has been brilliant for the time of year, people keep asking the wife if she's just come back from abroad she says no, just out the back!

thanks to everyone else for your kind comments. i had no plans to make it into a song, but if anyone wants to take it on please do.

hiya grah.

of all the comments above, yours is the one i'm most happy to see, no offense to all you other guys. hope you're getting better. and thank your mate for keeping us up-dated and to keep posting for himself.

thanks again phill

of late i've come up with a line or two and maybe a bit of a tune. i may return later that day or next day with a different tune or rhythm. i find that doing one verse today and the chorus tomorrow stops the song being the same thing all the way through. i then try and stick to 3 verses a chorus repeated several times and if i can think of one a bridge or middle 8 as we used to call it. digging bits of failed songs from my scrap book helps when i get stuck.

thanks for the listen and comment dino.

hi easybeat, i've never actually stopped writing, i just haven't posted any of my newer song, maybe their not good enough in my mind. it's a strange one for me as it's only 2 and a half minutes long! so a quickie
