i love gardening so much i planted a garden shed, then another, so that i only have room left for a small lawn.....job done!

on a more serious note; i detest thieves, what they do is true violation. we returned from a holiday in turkey, a few years ago, and we had a car full of gifts, but someone decided they had a better use for them and took the lot! when they opened the bags and found out what they were they probably just dumped them down an alley....

Hi Judy,

Wow! deep or what? Welcome to Chordie by the way, having read both your offerings I can only say wow! deep or what? Very thought provoking and as with your second poem, shows how deeply you are in love with the person you wrote about, hope you visit us a lot and give views on members offerings and of course give us more of what you've given as samples.

Kudos, Phill

hi dino, & bud,  sorry it's taken so long to reply.

thanks bud the title just popped into my head as i was writing the song. as for hearing it, i've been having lots of trouble with my new PC, i've had to change sounds cards 2x, and since my recording studio was for windows 95, windows 7 wont even look at it! i'm trying to down load songs but they dont seem to come through for some reason. i'll get there eventually....i hope
thanks again

hey russ,

glad to hear you're still strumming buddy. to be honest i wont get on facebook as there are too many dick-heads writing nasty things about nice people, i see google has a new web conference for up to 9 peeps! by the way you were right about that HD webcam i bought....no mic, so i've got to use my stage mic...see the panic the other night to get the mic out of the box when roger called!!!!LOL.

this new cam and movie project sounds very exciting, let us know when it's up

this happened to me on the way home from pembroke last saturday.

i was in a bit of a hurry as i needed to get home to catch the last round in my local club.
so the irish ferry arrives in fishgard at around 1 AM. so the road was full of (what i expect were) irish people making their way to london for the olympics! i'd been following one for ages when we came to a roundabout, he went into the near side lane so i went to the outside lane to get passed. but, without looking, pulled out right in front of me as i was accelerating! i jammed on the anchors and managed to avoid pushing his drivers side door into the passenger seat!

the good thing to come from it i suppose is that i still have rapid reactions, at 61!

hi mb2, the beatles were known as the greatest little rock band as there were only 4 of them. they were known for playing VOX amps, i cant ever remember them playing MARSHALLS? i may be wrong. if you listen to their earlier albums, once you get past all the love-y dove-y stuff, there's a lot of raw rock and as the 60's drew on and heavy metal emerged you can hear the influence they had on that music too. most bands even nowadays will admit to beatle influence one way or another.

in my opinion, lennon went a little OTT in the 70's. and just to prove that mccartney is not all shmooze, have a listen to MEMORY ALMOST FULL, it's one of my favs.

PS why the change of name?  cows got the old one?

playing along certainly helps with the rhythm of the song and keeps a steady beat. i've been a guitar/vocalist for about 30+ years, but i still find playing a lead part and singing difficult though playing a rhythm or bass part is natural to me. i guess it's all a case of practise, practise, practise.

i've always loved running... unfortunately, i'm too old and stiff now, but in school i used to compete in all the running events, also the long and high jump, shot put and javelin, all i can throw now is a tantrum!!!! i played soccer and cricket when i left school till i found it interfered with gigging with my band. i also did a bit of boxing and rugby, but those games tend to damage your fingers, guitar won out!

i was in tenerife recently and was offered what can only be described as a fantastic camera, full HD, 4 hour battery digital the works, i think a fuji, or similar. starting price (as UK apparently?) £900 +!! he came down to £80.00, so i left it there, it had to be a copy so i was told....too late now i suppose, but i wish i'd got it, copy or not...

sorry i would need an enigma machine to translate this code....

FYI, deep purple were still recording and touring up until a few years ago, they may still be, sadly without john

hi, i have found lately to my cost that to record onto a computer through USB, it's best to get a USB 2 PCI EXPRESS card, as USB may not be fast enough!!! on the other hand if your using MIDI you will need a sound card with a MIDI socket. if your using a mic plugged directly into the sound card, you will usually find that it's a mini jack so you may need a sound card that is good (as run of the mill sound cards are not that good sound wise)

if you're not going to use your mic on stage, get a studio mic, they are square shaped and are good for vocal and guitar, and i've seen some relatively cheap ones....good luck
