Good one Richard I like it when I go to gigs and musicians have CD for sale. I'm still a CD man and don't buy any music online. I have never shopped online I wouldn't know how. I also enjoy a bit of Merch such as T-shirts and hats if the artist has those also. I enjoyed the track Prelude to Solitude it works really good.

Richard, thank you for your feedback. I agree the reverb on the guitar and vocals were out.

Jan, thanks for your kind comments. It was a while ago I had a mate lend me some gear to play with and that was what I came up with.

Cheers Piri, it happens to me often that blank look from people when I think I'm been funny. My humour is a little too warped for some to get.

Brian, I was surprised to see this post come up again as it was something I posted about four months back. I had to check out my recording again myself as I couldn't remember what it sounded like.

Season greetings to all of you chordie people out there.

Good one Jim you are keeping very fit and healthy with your running. I miss being able to run.     Your right laughter is also good for you Laughter it increases the endorphins that are released by your brain. When we laugh, it doesn't just lighten our load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in our body.
All the best to you and your family.
Pete

Richard, I guess living in a country that is periodically scorched by catastrophic bushfires becomes a consideration when looking at a location or suburb to settle in when buying a house.? I hope that you and your family are keeping safe.     

Excellent, Jim.  You a have a wonderful ability to write songs. I like that line about keeping a song in your heart to keep troubles away.     

Richard, it is good to hear Jai is developing into a interesting and good creative young man.

Good one Grah I did the test with my headphones on which I think helped.  I got 13 out of 15. the two I got wrong were questions 1 and 15. I was expecting to do much worse as I don't have what is known as perfect pitch. That was a good bit of fun. I think I might have fluked a couple.     

Good one Jan you are good value. I love those words adorning and pouring, mooring, flooring and clawing.  The cat and the boat morning yawning after a night of a husband snoring.
Take care of your voice I hope you get over your cough soon.     

Thank you, Richard and Jan, for taking the time to have a listen, watch and comment. It would be good to see some others give FSOTM a shot.     

Here is a quickly put together song with the word broken in it. I thought I better give this month a shot in the hope it will inspire others to have a go at CSOTM.

This kid could be cheaper than a dentist.     

Jim, you know how to capture the pain that someone feels in a relationship that is going of the rails. A heart been torn apart while trying to find some light in the dark. Your song communicates the turmoil that this person is going through in a song that many will empathize with.

NIce one Peatle, you seen to be playing your guitar with better movement, you were playing up and down the fret board and looked pain free?  Good topic, I think we all have those times and I for one, love to walk by the sea, go to the beach or go off walking in the woods.  Good soul food.

Cheers Jan, it is wonderful to see you back on chordie. It is good to be pain free when playing the guitar. Now I don't have the dexterity I use to have in my fingers I have been working on different ways of playing the guitar. I agree walking by the sea or in the forest is good soul food. On clear nights checking out the sky always fills me with awe.

Cheers Richard, When I brought the guitar brand new. I had the shop set it up for me. I think that maybe I should get it checked out by a luthier and see if the action needs lowering. I am not that technical also I am not sure how or where the truss rod is on my Ibanez. I will have to over summer sometime take my guitar into the shop for a bit of TLC.

Here is a song I wrote about relaxing and enjoying myself by the sea.

Jim, your lyrics tell it good and many will feel they are about their own relationship breakdown. The sleepiness  and that feeling bout half past dead.

Richard it is good to have you put another song on here from you. You cover a wide range of genres it's good to see that you don't limit yourself to one style. .
