russ, i'm not complimenting you just cos wer'e friends, i really do like the track and if it's about what i think it is....then the story line will be good too

nice little tune there russ, i love this type of blues which i would call heavy rock, but i've been wrong about a few things before, like when i called slide; bottle neck, remember? anyway, you've done a great job here, i'm glad you didn't stick to a 3 chord riff, and the story sounds good too, would you be about publishing the words on chordie?

phill

thanks for all your great comments. i knew this wouldn't appeal to a lot of my friends on chordie as it's a bit rocky and not so country.

thanks jeff, i try to write down any ideas i get for a new song, so some of these lines are quite old, but i think they fit together quite well? the rhythm kind of fitted in with the first few lines, then expanded, so it became the intro part.

hello ken. i never had a stepmum, as far as i know my parents had a happy marriage, so the story was made up, but i like the plot and even though most of the words were written at different times and don't at first seem related (different stories?) i think they gel quite well after listening a few times and getting the gist of the tale.

hi there tony, i put the sound quality down to the DP24, it's a truly awesome machine, and the fact that i'm happy to re-do tracks a lot more than i used to as i've got more time.

hi jimmy, it's a telecaster. this is actually the first song i've done in a while that doesn't feature acoustic guitar, even though i wrote most of it on the acoustic.

i shall put the song sheet up on a seperate reply box.

thanks again for all your kind remarks.

simply beautiful russ, loving the gold furnishings. the humbucker on the trem looks cool. cant wait to hear it.
wish i had the guts to pull my old strat apart and refit it, i'd love to stick a maple neck and new pick-ups on her, i bought her after seeing the bangla desh concert, so she's white. green looks nice.

hi amy, yep i agree with ken, it does play well as a reggae tune as it gives it a kinda "happy on the beach" feel. i like it, when will you put it up on myspace? i had a look but didn't find it.

phill

really rather beautiful ken. i'm really taken with your guitar playing and the chord sequence and your finger picking is excellent. your voice suits the songs to the tee, having said that i could hear simon and garfunkel in my mind. fab job, cant wait for next week.

hey UJ, sweet guitars there man, a friend once had an F hole guitar dont know what make, but the sound was gorgeous, i've been trying to reproduce it ever since with standard round holers, no chance...lucky man, and get that inlay fixed or i'll send the guitar police round to see you...:lol:

jerome, i seem to have down-loaded dropbox without knowing it, i haven't installed it as i'm getting a little nervous of what i'm getting myself into these days. so can you recommend it?

beamer, no it's not a Packard Bell PC, it's one built for me to my specs, now i wish i'd bought one off the shelf, live and learn. the external hard drive is the P/Bell, so now i know why i cant get anywhere, next stop....trash can!

my first puter was 9 gigs! that's why i bought the H drive. anyone remember windows 95?

i had a recent entanglement with the kitchen sink plug, i won! cheap fix, went to my local iron monger and bought a new one...sorted. we don't get much problems with the dishwasher, the wife puts them in the sink and i wash them...simples
