Hi Russ,

A good song and a fine recording (without a drop of ice cream in site). Great stuff, well done.

Hi Helena,

I hope you are on the mend and will soon be back to your usual self.

Great song, it play very well indeed. Although it is a long time since I let alcohol get the better of me I still remember, and fear, the sensation of losing control of myself. As Ark has already said it is a bad master.

Hi Daddycool,

A very nice way to remember all the things that announce that Spring is here and the warmer weather is on it's way. Thank you,

Hi Jeff,

It is surprising what things we can recall from our childhood and your song made me sit back and reflect on some memories from my youth. Thank you.

Hi James,

I remembered this one from when you originally posted it and I am pleased that you have got round to recording it. Great fun song about the dubious delights of getting old.


James I am alway pleasantly surprised by the quality of your "gloriously raw & flawed recordings", they are always very good. Well done.


I am pleased to say that unlike Daddycool I celebrated my 61st last week but I still feel like 21 (sadly I don't look like I am 21). lol

Hi Jeff,

I too have been blessed with a great mum. She is 86 in September and she can still bend and touch her toes easier than I can, I am sure she is fitter than I.

Lovely song and I am sure she will be over the moon when you sing it to her.

Hi Chuck, 

I like the chord sequence and the lyrics although like Jeff I struggled a bit with the timing in the chorus so I too would love to hear you singing it. I hope you are soon able to get it recorded.

Thank you,

As an ex amateur actor I have always considered your request prior to a performance to be very bad luck so my message to you is "Break a Leg".

Please let us know how it goes.

Strangely enough I have clicked on Russ's link to get here and I am having no problems at all and I use IE7.

Hi Montana,

I assume you mean the 'machine heads' (the winding devices to tighten and tune the strings). If so these are readily available from any half decent guitar shop. Google 'guitar machine heads' if you wish to buy on-line.

Shame Daddycool,

Being the old romantic that I am I was having visions of you, standing outside your bedroom window, knee deep in snow, serenading your belovéd.  My vision has been shattered, I am so disappointed sad.

Hi Daddycool,

Lovely romantic one there. I bet "she who must be obeyed" really like this one from you.

Well done,

Roger.

P.S. I do not think there is any problem putting your song on here that has the same chords as 'Home On The Range'.

Hi Jerome,

A beautiful song and a fitting tribute to both your father and all the firefighters that have lost their lives making things safe for the rest of us.

Hi,

If you are wanting to progress to a chord other than D to start the next line perhaps changing your second line to either D G A D or D A G D will do the trick although this may not be what you had in mind.

Hi Bro,

Another sombre one from from you however it was lightened by the third from last line "Tears in my eyes caused by onions" which did bring a smile. I do not know whether this was deliberate or not but is certainly took the gloom out of ithe songfor me - I like it. Nice chord sequence too.

Nice one Jeff,

Great chord progression and it does often seem to be a female trait that they take things, and life, too seriously sometimes and this is just the song to cure it.

Mind you the ladies probably say that many of us men do not take things serious enough and perhaps we should grow up.

Hi srosanba,

A good start to a song and look forward to seeing the finished article. However I must say that I am a little worried about your 5 year old writing a song that starts "Going to the pub tonight", I dread to think what will he be writing about when he is six lol.

Well done and thank you,

Hi Badeye,

There is a lot of truth in this song, we must take care for the envirinment today - tomorow is too late. Nice chord progression.

Am I right in thinking that the part that got screwed up is a spoken part of the song whilst the verse chords are played? If you break the lines up shorter it will probably display OK.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Danb5,

Welcome to Chordie. If you care to nip into Resources you will see that the bottom item is 'Change Settings', you can save left handed guitar or uke settings there.

Hi Daddycool,

I went in and re-typed the formatting switches 'song' and '/song' and it appears to have done the trick.
