hi kenny,

kudos,  i knew you were a great musician, but i never realised how brilliantly you wrote lyrics, and you put this together in a day?....there are no words i can say to express how i feel about this piece, so i'd just like to award you the victoria cross of poetry...brill

mekidsmom, i think were stretching things here with the elton john refference, but thank you, your so lovelly...anal?  na

thanks kenny, are you keeping OK? talk soon buddy

geoguitar, thanks i'm trying...very trying according to my wife!

hi helena, a citog? i hope that's not swearing? thanks, i usually up-load the songs and lyrics the same time, but my-space can take up-to 24 hours before they can be listened to. hwyl

hi brokenarrow, thanks, dont forget, life is just a box of chocolates...what ever that means

hi robert,

please dont take this the wrong way, as i mean it as a compliment, but you could put this on a greetings card, the verse is super-duper...well done that man. have you thought about posting some stuff on the poetry section, you'll be very welcome.

and i notice a liberal sprinkling of minor chords too...

hi stran,

wow, very powerful piece.
i've stood out-side the hospital ward doors too many times my self, it's not a place i like being. parents, in-laws, children and worst of all my wife (4 years ago she had a very serious op) i can even empathise with the lost years, as i met my wife at 16, we didn't get on so we lost touch for 15 years, then we met again, fell in love and the rest is history...
the last part you have all to yourself, i've never smoked or drank heavily and never taken drugs or been nasty to anyone. but it is all there, marvelous, you've captured reality and made a very gritty and realistic poem.

congratulations 10 out of 10

"you gave me inspiration to create my songs
now i share them with all chordians"

dubious and dare i say cheeky little rhyme there daddy?

nice one

phill

thanks for all your very positive comments. sorry i've been so busy the last 2 weeks that i haven't had much chance to get on line and do all the things i want to.

just to say though, it's my pleasure to work with mr harding, i can just throw him a couple of jumbled up chords and back he comes with an instrumental break that'll make hank marvin tremble in his hush puppies.

before i go i'd just like to say that it's such a privilege working with such fine writers and musicians, something i'd never have been able to do without chordie or the internet.

hi ark, you could be on to something, as it seems more and more popular for members to add their songs on video. it's a lot less fuss than recording then transferring to MP3 then up-loading when most computers will record a song while you play it...simples!

hi bud-wiser, your wish is my command, words duly up-loaded, let me know how you get on?

hi stransongs,  OK THEN I'LL SHOUT...only joking, words are up here somewhere.

hi russel,  crock rock was recorded in benidrom, spain last october by my son, who thought he was taking a photo on my sony stills camera! that's when i found out it takes video too. glad you liked my other offerings.

Abbey Road studio's are obviously worth saving, but a cost of £30 million + is licking the gravy train somewhat, dont you think?
As all these multi-national conglomerates can buy out British businesses, asset strip them and throw all the skilled and experienced people out of work, so they can make more profit for the already mega-bucked investors, by opening another factory somewhere that the wages are paid in peanuts, is not only a disgusting practice but should be a criminal offence. Who wins from this kind of business practice...bankers, and the aforementioned investors...may they burn in the ashes of their own profits. As has happened in the North East this week, and all over the country for some years! It brings it all into perspective?
As for Abbey Road, (it was only a small rant) as Lloyd-Webber says, it's one of the only places in the country that can house a large orchestra (Hey Jude) it can update to accommodate the latest recording equipment, and as proved recently, can hold a small audience while a live TV or radio programme can be made.
The company who bought out EMI, are up to their necks in debt, and are using the name, made famous by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and others to get themselves out of trouble, so will push to get the best deal. I suppose we would all do the same in their position?
As a PS, I dont suppose a housing estate would have the same draw, or the same romance as a world famous recording studio?

it's the little things that mean the most
