Phill
my preference is stripped down recordings,but nothing wrong with the big production
it is a skill in itself,and something you excel at.go for it.

Re: Two Or Three Minute Song. (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I used to get bad comments if i did a 2.10 min song,a lot of people cant think out of the box.
They think a song is verse, chorus 3.00 mins etc
well i guess if you are trying to write a hit this may be the case.but if you are telling a story
well it takes as long or not as it takes.
its a bit like looking at a painting and saying the creator you`ve used too much red.
of course we all have different preferences and opinions.

Hey Jets
dont take it down,im a huge fan of your usual stuff,good on you for trying something different.
not a fan of over 3 mins ,but hey its your song.
a couple of words felt forced to get a rhyme,so yeah not one of your better songs,but still pretty good me thinks.
others will disagree with me and thats great,its just my opinion and im probably wrong anyway.
keep im coming

Jets
i usually love your songs and performance,but for me this one
is not quite up to your usual high standard.
hope you dont mind me saying this.
i always look forward to a new Jets song.
Of course this is only my opinion and who am i to comment anyway.

Re: THE GIRL THAT DID TRICKS IN THE AIR (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Sir Phill
it`s been a real learning experience,as i didnt have a clue what to or where to start.
the book started with a simple song/story which took 5 minutes.
the publishing side took 8 mths.this simple story i used as a way to see if i could do it.
I have other stories a wanted to publish,but thought i`d start with something short and simple.
mainly it was a legacy project for my grand daughter.

Re: THE GIRL THAT DID TRICKS IN THE AIR (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Sir Phill
yes i would love it if you made that donation.
In NZ i am selling the book with all proceeds going to the local hospice
as they do such great work.
Fund raising is going well.
I hope the books i sent you, arrive early in the new year.
in the book i have a colour in page and also a wee song,my aim is to
maybe get the song sung in Childcare/kindergartens as i have licensed it
and can claim performance royalties,another way of raising funds for the hospice.
We`ll have to wait and see how well all these ideas work.

Re: ISC song writing contest (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Phill
in that comp my song wasn`t very good but i think it did ok because it was ``on theme``
which was one of the requirements of the comp.(connection)
it also broke all the so called ``rules`` which hopefully they found refreshing.
it went 2 lines of verse then two lines of chorus .repeating.
hopefully comps want ``original`` songs not the usual broken heart/ love ya love ya stuff

Re: ISC song writing contest (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yeah Phill that was a year ago.the best thing about that comp was it truly was about the song.
they realised not every writer is a good singer or musician.Also production and quality of recording
were not taken into consideration.It was good to be judged on ``the song`` and not all the other stuff.
Other songwriting comps ive looked at seem to be more a talent quest,the song being only a small component.
