hi kenny,
sorry i didnt comment on this before, the subject matter is a little too close to home, ann, my wife went though a year of worry which ended in a major operation, and though she was clear of cancer (thank god) it has left it's mark in the form of her confidence has all but gone! but i still have her, and she will still be here with me for at least the next 40 + years...
as i say, the song is brilliantly written and evokes the memory of fear and joy, for me. well done canuk.

this is such a boring and annoying subject. it was getting up my nose when they started putting rival tracks up for people to buy rather than have an X factor no1...it's all a money making con. by simon cowel and the people who want to rival X factor!
here's a cheaper word of advice to those that might be gullible enough to spend their hard earned cash on this nonsense....
IF YOU DONT LIKE THE X FACTOR...DONT WATCH IT!
IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT'S IN THE CHARTS...DONT BUY THEM!
BE A HERO AND SHOW YOUR INDEPENDENCE, repeat after me.....I AM NOT A FOLLOWER, I AM A LEADER
i have not watched x factor for about 4 years, and i dont miss it. or big brother, or i'm a celebrity get me out of here, or any of those other "reality" shows! it's easy to do; change the channel! there are lots of other tv channels that broadcast a wide variety of programmes, try one.
well thanks, i think... actually it's written by me about me from my wife's point of view, only she's not as humorous as i am...lol. oh and by the way this guy (that i used to be) is out of my life. admittedly i do forget the toilet seat now and then. but my hygiene is much improved! so is it ok if i stay?

hi russ and members,
i just had a little listen on my lap top speakers, and the backing vocals sound awful! in my defense though, i do have a sore throat.
this is my favourite song, russ's voice suits it down to the ground, and as mentioned, the harmonica really works. it takes me way back to my mother who used to sing lullabyes to all the kids, and to me, which is most likely why i love singing...i just wish i could!

hi russ,
that's the trouble with us older guys, we can remember something that happened years ago better than something that happened yesterday!
this is a lovely song the words are so full of love and caring and (may i say) sung sweetly?
ARE YOU GETTIN` SOFT OR WHAT?
get well soon, i'm so looking forward to helping out with this song, it doesnt need a whole lot of overdubs. we'll keep it pure
dont let those nurses give you any nonsense...lol

as a big beatles fan since i heard "my bonny" on radio luxembourg in 1962 (i think) it was freddy and the dreamers that actually got me and my mate jeff davies, to pick up guitars and form our own noise, sorry, band. no i think i was right the first time, noise! but it was paul mccartney's influence that got me to play left hand! it was also lennon mccartney that got me to write songs.
i had to get myself a paper round to pay for my first guitar, which cost £5! and broke within a month... couldnt hold the strings down any way!i bought a book with my next guitar and learned a new key every day. no problems with Bm. but i couldnt get G for the life of me. it took me about a month to master G (the chord not the key).
phill...that's just about my life story. lol
hi daddy,
you rockin' on with some horizontal mambo eh?
nice words...and nothing suggestive at all, in-fact, i was wondering what it was about?
a lot of minor chords in this one....you'll be using Bm soon.... 
phill
hi bob,
i take it this song comes from the heart. it's a shame you feel country music has souled out (pun) but every form of music has to progress...then i ask why? why cant music just keep on when it's good enough? maybe it's because a new generation has to put it's own stamp on the "new" generation. usually killing the genre!
i watched a paul simon concert on tv the other day, he played some of his old songs "boxer" etc, but he'd sexed up the arrangements, killed the songs for me...maybe i'm a traditionalist?
i like your song, recording soon?

One of my favorites is "arriving UFO" by Yes on the Tormato album...very sci-fi

this is the third poem. a fairy tale for hallowen, i know it was last week...
For The Love Of The Faery Queen.
If I crossed the great divide.
From narrow mind to ocean wide.
Would I find a place to hide?
Would her love protect me?
Lightening streaks across the sky.
Ghostly horsemen searching wide.
For the thief whose heart did take.
The Lady of the faery glade.
Minutes pass they seem like years.
Hooded searchers, dread and fear.
Will their eyes befall my form?
And leave me dying in the storm.
I pray to he who sees and hears.
While raindrops fall like baby's tears.
Protect my soul, deliver me.
To the lands where life is free.
They travel on, I breathe again.
Though my body racks with pain.
A ghostly knife has shed my blood.
This sallow earth is turning red.
I lay beneath some hazel trees.
My life's blood running, freely bleed.
Soon the darkness, vision fades.
Ghostly riders claim their prize.
No angel's in a heavenly place.
Underworld behold my fate.
For though I hold the Lady's grace.
Forever damned in this unholy place.

i wrote 3 poems today this is number 2
Life Lived Free.
Time flows like a lonely river.
And I am sealed within my fate.
As the universe around me.
Never slows and never waits.
And I am here within this vaccuum.
Sealed from liquid, air and sound.
I can see the world around me.
Never touching holy ground.
I must follow where life leads me.
Follow blindly, feel my way.
And if I stumble, lose the high ground.
Another plan must come to play.
Until I call you, sleep enfolds you.
Take good comfort in your rest.
For all the while I fight this battle.
When I am lost you do your best.
Here we stand the sad survivors.
Cast back memories of friends.
Heroes all; wounded, battered.
And those that met their bitter end.
And so each year we do remember.
We will recall each selfless deed.
The hero gave his life to save us.
One minutes silence, for a life lived free.
Phill Williams. 5th November 2010.
here's a little poem i wrote today as i had a lot of time on my hands and a mind numbingly boring job.
Number one.
I ask not much of this poor life.
See my children grow, a caring, loving wife.
To work each day, bring home the bread.
To know that I am loved for the life I have led.
I will work for the comforts we should all be allowed.
Enjoying the treats from cradle to shroud.
I shall work hard each day as I've done all my life.
Till I get kicked in the trash, till I get dumped in the pile.
The bankers, the auditors, the investors, millionaires.
They play with my life, they really don't care.
For me I'm a number more fodder for the gun.
When they fire at Will, I guess I'm number one.

it might be slightly exaggerated, but looking back now i dont think i smelt that sweet! i now brush my teeth twice a day, floss and gargle, i shower every day too, but i only shave 3 times a week,(if i can get away with it). i dont know how queen victoria managed, she started a new trend of bathing once a month! previously it was an annual thing world wide i think.
hi jamier
if you'd like to put it to music...be my guest
phill
thanks lena and jamie,
i was born in 1951, post war britain, all rations and poverty. bath night was sunday for school on monday! and when my shoes got holes in the soles cardboard was cut to size to stop my feet getting wet...it didnt work. but that's how things were in those days.
i also remember in 1966, i used to wear my fathers demob suit to the dance! no wonder i never pulled.
ps and in the late 50's and early 60's, tv finished at 9.30!

all too true, i'm afraid.
last year the uk government bailed out the banks after they almost bankrupted the country. so what did the greedy bankers do? gave themselves bonuses! give me strength...
the unfortunate truth is that it's a rich mans world. two years ago they closed the factory i had worked at for 18 years. making a profit, the only site in the group that was. so it was a political decision which the working man has yet again got to pay for.
sorry for the rant....but a very poignant subject which opens a lot of wounds and discussion.

Dear friends,
I have regrettably had to ban Neil Pineda as he has upset a lot of members on this site. Banning him was a long and drawn out process for me, but I feel it had to be done to protect what we have here.
I understand that some of you may disagree with my actions and I welcome your comments, and if you can give me a good reason for reinstating him I would gladly do this, if it is the general consensus.
For your information, the email I sent him to inform him of the ban has not been replied to. He has ignored my other emails and emails from other members too!
We moderators have tried to trace his location from his IP address, he says he's from Kansas USA, but his IP says Qatar! he's even been traced to the Philipines! he seems to be a well traveled guy!
Marcalan, you seem to have a sympathy for him, please feel free to email him if he'll answer you.
In conclusion, I shall be deleting his posts at the weekend, so enjoy them while you can.

hi jamie,
i guess poetry is meant to be deep and inscrutable, and make you ask the question; what do i see here?
in effect we must all draw our own conclusions, whether it be an ode to the moon or a light bulb!
excellent work, i'm sure we will see more from you
phill
russ, i thought the line from "werewolves" was your entry for the song.
phill
I woke-up this morning with this in my mind. It's meant to be from my wife to me, and how she had to nag me to get me to up-grade to a more hygienic bathroom routine! I am a lot cleaner now...honest.
Chordpro error: The song does not contain chords. Please include at least two chords in brackets within the text, like this: [C7].
got to say i checked this out, how brilliant is she? you get all these kids and oldies on X factor, who go on to win, sell million's(?) of records and their one stumbling block is that they are totally under talented.
if this lady entered X factor she would walk it. trouble is, she probably wouldn't get passed the auditions! sad
phill
come on you guys, you cant quote lines from "werewolves of london" that's cheating and may infringe copyright!
my offering for the third line is: "nobody sees the white shark on it's knees"
phill
i jumped....it reminded me of the face in the sunken boat in jaws.....
so the japanese one is good....i'm glad to hear it and glad you like your new guitar.
as soon as i touched mine in the shop i new i had to have it.
so the jap is good...imagine if the germans started making tele's?
phill
good evening friends, meet russel lennon, toe jam football to you all!
they say genius and madness are next door neibours, they live in the same house with russ..(and some others too!) well not the genius part 
smile when you break wind and the world farts with you. 
phill
