You sing this song with a ton of attitude. Very enjoyable and great to hear you sing and play again, you got the uke/voice mix perfect. You may not believe this but I've only recently heard this song for the first time? Well done.

Solidarity my kiwi brothers. I haven't eaten NZ lamb for over 50 years. Nor Welsh lamb come to that, I just don't like lamb! Give me a good beef steak every time with chips and petit pois!

Re: Old Mc Ronald and the Beasts of the Fields (5 replies, posted in My local band and me)
that is so funny and so true. supermarkets are rationing eggs! milk prices are 50% more expensive than a year ago. and now chickens and turkeys are dying from bird flu.
there was an american on youtube yesterday complaining of having to pay $7 a GALLON for petrol (gas) while we pay £6 a litre and there's 5 litres to a gallon!
so thanks Graham for a little light hearted sarcasm on an otherwise depressing day.

Re: Xmas Carol (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Just got the chance to hear it. Big thumbs up my friend. Now here's a remedy that might help...
Pint of water
Tea spoon of salt
Teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
Teaspoon of sugar, don't worry you don't swallow it!
Gargle several times a day and suck a jakemans in-between.
I know you've said it's your lungs not your throat but give it a try. And rest your voice as much as you can.
Christ mass has very little to do with religion any more, it's all to do with the rich man's profits.

Re: RAIN (10 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
it's hard giving up something you love doing or even taking a back seat. i've been doing it for 50 years and i always said once i stop enjoying it i would stop. to be honest i haven't stopped enjoying it, but my knees just wont stand the 2-3 hours of standing then carrying the gear out; house to car, car to stage, stage to car, car to house. then there's the performing and the driving maybe not getting home till 3 o'clock.
i guess you have a pump to help clear you lungs? the punters just don't realise the stuff performers have to go through.

Re: RAIN (10 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Thanks Graham. I never thought of trying it in reggae style, may give it a go?
Sorry to hear about your voice is it an effect of COVID? If so it may come back in time. I noticed my live voice was very rough and unable to reach the high notes I used to after I had my second bout. Another reason to thank the Tories.

Re: Walking on Water Song I Wrote (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I know and understand the feeling Jim.
Try this for your bridge:
Em This water's D deep beneath my C feet Am
Em There's only D one inch of G ice A7
Em Together D we make this C heat D
C Together G we'll pay the A price D7
Just to break the chord sequence on the last line play C G D on the verses and maybe also on the chorus?

Jeff I can imagine sitting out on the prairie around a campfire at night after a day in the saddle rounding up cattle hearing you sing and play that song.. It works real good, lyrics and guitar.
Pedr, you forgot to add layering ointment on your haemorrhoids. Enjoyed the recording Jeff

Re: Rustler's Moon Tonight (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nice one Jeff, I could imagine the way it goes which is probably wrong so let's have the recording to see how far out I was?
This side of the pond we'd call it a smugglers moon as we had last night for Guy Fawks night, to be honest it was like being in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine bangs and flashes everywhere!
Looking forward to the recording.

Congratulations on your new arrival. I do not understand why makers don't set up guitars before despatching them? I hope you have many happy hours of disturbing the neibours as acoustic bass guitars are LOUD! Enjoy.

Re: It Takes a Lot to Love a Good Woman (Recording) (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
hI Jeff.
A hell of a cross section, blues format with a bit of rock & roll mixed into a country song? loved the hook "takes a lot to love a good woman but nothing to let her go" great piece of writing.

Re: Rain. (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Pedr, saddened to hear of your friends unfortunate and untimely passing. I'm sure they will live on in your memory.
Hi Jim, just waiting for the new month and deciding if the full works or the bare bones recording would be more acceptable?
Thanks Richard, I never thought of thunder fx just rain...we get plenty of that!
Thanks Jan. It's your invite and request for song to do with water got the juices flowing. Strange how it works sometimes?
