Hi Helena,

I made some minor adjustments to the formatting for you.

I am so pleased that my little gift inspired this song. Funnily enough I had seen this rather small quaint building several times before I noticed that the door was ajar one day and, being inqusitive, I looked in. I was amazed when I realised it was a very ancient chapel and ornately decorated inside.

A lovely song that has captured the ambience of this historic chapel.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Charles,

No infraction on your part, a couple of lines for help are permitted, and I am sorry if you saw my message as censure in any way. I was just concerned that someone wanting to help might post the full lyrics here. My reminder was to try and prevent that from happening.

Hi Music guy,

If you look at a version of this song and click on the green 'original song' in the Important Information it will take you to the host site for the song.

Hi Charles,

Sorry I cannot help with this one.

This is just a reminder that copyright lyrics cannot be posted on Chordie (see the 'Sticky'at the start of this section).

However what is send by private e-mail cannot compromise Chordie.

Hi Stretch,

I too have had a listen and liked your song.

I am disappointed that you were not able to post it but  the instrucions are in the 'Sticky' at the start of this section, or if you wish to, send it to me I will give it the once over for you and return it ready to post. If you do you will have to do it direct to: roger4songs@yahoo.co.uk as you cannot send attachments through Chordie.

Thank you,

Roger

Good one Russ,

Great recording and as others have said the mandolin certainly adds to the overall effect. Is this another 'park bench' song or did inspiration come from elswhere? Whatever, it is a great song, thank you.

Thanks for that Riddler,

I have just checked and my sample rate was 44100Hz. I have also added the Wiki page to my favourites, I might need it again - but I hope not.

Twice whilst I have been recording multiple tracks with Audacity I found that on playback the tracks all started at the same point and sounded fine but as they progressed they went out of time and seemed to lose syncronisation.

On both occasions I tried to correct it and even re-recording was as bad so nothing I could do would improve it. In the end I closed my PC down, had a beer, switched it back on and started again. The second attempt in both cases turned out fine.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you a solution please?

Hi Kenny,

Lovely song and who knows, she may be waiting for you round the corner or with the trolly in front of you at the supermarket, and when you do meet her you will have the perfect song for her. Thank you.

Roger

PS any chance of the icing on the cake, ie a recording, yet.

Hi Papa,

Thanks for the comment. As school kids Colin and I fought like cats and dogs, but that was a long time ago now and as we got older we gained more sense. I moved to Portugal  from the UK three and a half years ago as I was getting more and more disenchanted with the place.

Thanks too Ark,

When Colin first started I was the clown of the team for maybe a year. You know the one who always gets in the way, gets knocked down, run over and breaks ramp supports so I had to lie under it to hold it up while they rode their motobikes over it. As the show developed he found that this role was no longer needed. These days if I end up in the ring it is usually to douse things with petrol and ignite it.

Hi James,

I am told that yodelling is not easy unless you are able to sing falsetto. However, if all else fails, I am also told that there is an operation to remove two small parts of your anatomy that can help you get to this higher pitch to be able to yodel lol.

Hi bwriter and welcome to Chordie,

You may not realise it but no songs (except original songs in the Songwriters section) are hosted here. Chordie is a search engine and finds chords and tabs that are already out there.

As you have noticed the facility is there for you to correct any that you find are wrong and if you do so there will be a note at the bottom acknowledging the fact that you have done so.

Hi Helena and thank you,

Our Mum (86 next month) has never been to see him perform live so I do not think she will start now. I, on the other hand, have gone as often as I can, although I have usually ended up assisting inside the ring. I sent him the link to this page last night so he will find it and hear it in due course.

Hi Kenny, Yes the guy with the big grin is he and he is still the official stunt trainer for EuroDisney.

Hi Daddycool,

What's this, two songs about dreaming!!! Make sure the boss does not hear or he might think you are dreaming instead of working lol.

That being said, what would we do without our day-dreams. Good song, thank you.

Thanks Kenny,

The tunnel of fire shown just after The World's Most Amazing Videos flash was a world record in the 70's. Unfortunatley several people lost their lives trying to beat it and the Guiness Book of Records deemed it was too dangerous and so will no longer recognise it.

By the way, don't blink or you'll miss it, but the guy in the white T shirt at the end of the tunnel that runs after him is yours truly.

My brother Colin, or James Dylan as he is known owns and runs Stunt World and does have other drivers/riders that perform with him, one of them, Tony Fixter, has been with him since he started.

Hi Mal and welcome from me too,

Reading this I have just realised that you may possibly mean the chords in the Chord Chart. If this is so please point out which are wrong.

My younger brother sent me a link to his promo video on YouTube at the weekend. I got thinking and came up with this, again a change from my usual style but hopefully more in keeping with his lifestyle.

Hi klbolton,

I am a little confused here as you must have used your password to log in to be able to post this message.

However as you only registered a month ago have you not saved the original e-mail with you password on, but of course if you changed it and have forgoten what you changed it to that is no help. Following the 'Forgotten Password' link in Resources should take you to a page where you are asked to enter your e-mail address and a new password is sent to you.

If all else fails please e-mail me at roger4songs@yahoo.co.uk.
