Sorry, but I'm going to pick on this statement, because you *do* have the talent, it's up to you to use it ....

Cheers

Pete i note a lot of your observations on life happen in bars?
really well written,theres a lot of sheep in NZ not all have wool.     

well done Tig,great to see an original in song of the mth.     

Peatle
for a simple little song that had a lot going for it.
the only thing missing was a drummer playing with brushes.     

ok i`ll kick it off.i recently had a coffee with Jan,she encouraged me to try and ``sing``
instead of my usual kinda talk sing.Im no singer but i
bumble along to get my writings recorded.
this is my ``attempt`` at singing.

thought this may be of interest to writers on chordie 

Neo
its excellent that you commented on each song,good to see a critique also.
as for your comments on my ditty thanks, what you said is fair.
as for it being a bit short,well a song is as long or short as it needs to be.     

congratulations everyone who submitted a song for July
i`ve enjoyed them all,as of the end of this mth there have been 40 songs or comments
on CSOM.More comments than 6 mths of all the other categories put together.
well done,i look forward to hearing your songs and reading your comments in August.

Someone said something similar to me in the early days of learning. His words were; "Don't try to sound like the original artist. Make it your own."

I've lived by that little piece of advice ever since. Thanks Mike.

yeah i know this sounds so obvious,the original artist is who they are, and you ,who you are.
there are hundreds of different versions of most songs other than the ``hit`` one.
