hi yaall,

sorry it's taken so long to reply to you, but i've been away for a week or so....

selso, i had a look and it was there are you looking on myspace? click on the web button to your left. thanks for the interest.

hi ark, i listened to the song again yesterday and i found so many flaws and mistakes it made me wince! i even thought it sounded like all the other songs i've written in the last few months (apart from the ones i've done with you and my dear old mate russ)
thanks for the comparison to ian anderson, one of rocks greatest voices in my opinion! not that my pathetic attempts come close.

hi bud, thanks for the thumbs up. it's funny how things dont sound the same the next day? maybe i'll come back to it in a couple of years and like it again!

hi geo, yes it is me, i do all the recording stuff myself unless i'm working with someone,russ or arkady. thanks for your vote of confidence.

hey daddy, sorry to hear about your tower, not too serious i hope, and you get it back ASAP.
ta, yup, there's a lot of relationships going boobs up lately because one or the other is a user or a cheater, so it's nice to hear about people like you and me who can stay in a relationship for years with-out cheating or simply using our other. cool it is.

hi jody, it's a kind of eternal triangle, you love her, she loves him, he loves himself! i guess i added the physical abuse as an afterthought, but by the time i got to the end i hated the guy my-self so i made him more hateful. you can tell by that statement that when i write i start at the beginning and work it through to the end.

thanks to you all for your kind words. please go and vote for russ and me on the harding/williams web page....thanks again

as i said on poems, this is a cracking little number, i could just about imagine it in bluegrass time, but i think you should be the one to record it and let us know how it's meant to go. any time soon?

wish i could think of a clean joke....

Hi Ray,

I think we've all been there and done that. My first wife was murder, this was before credit cards, thank God! even when we got divorced she still kept sending me bills for her clothes and stuff. I told her she gets money from me for the kids not so she can go out on the razzle!
Fortunately Mrs Phill no 2 is great with money, and the bills get paid before they hit the mat.

Great bit of writing, tells a story and puts a point across with style, though I will admit it would be hard to put a tune to it.

hi ya-all, i'm rushing to get this down quick. the song is now on my-space   click to your left. i'm still not happy with it. i ended up singing and playing piano together, never a good thing.
gorra go tara. and thanks for your comments and for listening.

phill

I apologise for the fact that it's in Eb, but I wrote it on piano and that just happened to be the key that came to me...sorry.

it is easier to play the piano in C ...hey ho

Chordpro error: This is not a valid artistname. You will have to specify an artistname in the form {st: Artistname} in the beginning of the code.

marcalan,

apologies as i've been away from my post for a while.

where the poem is excellent, and the pro's and meter are also excellent, i dont feel you need to insult or offend any other members or moderators to get yourself noticed! i like most other members who have been on chordie a while know your avatar and will read your words. but it seems it's the same few who take the time to comment, which is sad. i wish more members would take the time. unfortunately they may not for fear of getting abused.

i would ask you though, in the nicest way possible to keep your language in the polite as we are encouraging youngsters to follow these simple guidelines when posting their poems and songs.

this is a great piece of work

hi jerome,

i've been looking for a new guitar for about a year (i'm not easily swayed!) i looked at ibanez as i wanted a guitar with a tremelo. i've had a strat for 30 years and never been completely happy with it! i tried just about all the guitars in south wales, and in the shop in swansea in particular...(i play lefty by the by), i'd seen this tele and i thought...nah! but having reached the end of their stock i said ok pass it over. as soon as i picked it up i knew i'd met my new life-long partner. it felt right in my hands it nestles nicely into my belly and it plays like a dream. no trem but i get a crisp sound i've been looking for, for ages, along with a sweet mellow sound when required.

all i can suggest is...try one, if it fits; buy it. if not get a gibby.

phill

i'll go to that concert too! there have to be enough chordie members to fill a medium sized venue?

helena, oops! sorry about the chorus opening...senior moments all round, keeps us all on our toes?

so, we've done some ballads, we've done a rocker...any suggestions where we go next?

ps. doesnt russ sound angelic?....yeah right!

phill

thanks helena,

grand praise indeed from the mistress of the story poem

hi kenny,

been away my friend so now i'm seeing this. it did make my laugh, i chuckled till my chuckle muscle cramped.

very tongue-in-cheek. excellently written. it doesnt need a bridge in my opinion but to diversify it a bit you could maybe change key for a solo. it would be interesting if you went down a semi-tone? or just added an alternate chord sequence? just thoughts, not criticism.
is this the product of a miss-spent youth?

hope your well over there in canada.
