hi ark,

thinny to thicky...you could get in trouble there!!!lol

if there's a thicky about it's me, but playing Am 6 with F# played on the thicky is a real finger twister for me any way with my fat arthritic digits...or as kap 54 says..."just another brain fart!"
don't ya just love these colonials with their mongrelization of the queen's good english?

hi helena,

Hi guys,

Thanks for the comments.

Selso,  up lifting! I've never been accused of that before...I'm glad you've got back the one that you feel is the right one...that's what the song is about.

Hi Kenny, I am lucky and I'm not afraid to admit it, in fact I'm quite happy to shout about it "I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL GAL"

Hi Ark, I don't understand all the too-doo about G diminished, I've been playing it all my playing life, and it's easier to play than Am6/f#...I know I just tried, but the f# is played on the 6th string not 1st making it easier, then surely that just makes it Aminor6? unless you also play the bass note....I guess this rambling thing does come with the onset of old age...pass my Horlicks, love

Hi Rog, I am in the process of recording it, but as I mentioned before on email I'm just snatching moments on-line this week due to work commitments, so I'll up-load ASAP.

Hi Alan, it's only a chord, one of the first I ever learned, if you can play D, then G diminished is an easy progression from there.

Hi Russ, smoothie is it? haven't heard from you for a while, we will have to get together soon for a long chat me auld mucker. Yes I am just an old romantic at heart, but this was for a friend but as usual using my own experiences to hopefully give the person hope for the future...love wise.

Thanks again for you're kind words

hi kenny,

sorry if you think i tried to make light of things, but you know that if you need someone to talk to and i'm online...just give me a call...and the manual is just a book, look for the bits that you need to get you going and forget the rest till you need it and you are up and running...that's what i always do, then when you go through it at a later date, your more familiar with it and then it's a pleasant surprise what things you can do together...some say it's better than a woman...dont talk back anyway!

i jeff,

just had a listen to "looking up" and what a very professional recording...congrats and a live band too?

well done and thanks for sharing

phill

Hi Roger,

I think the drum louder in the mix helped...oh yes I heard it first

I think you've done a really good job Rog, like I said when you emailed the MP3, your recording is top drawer, your voice and backing vocals rock... I'm chuffed with it, seeing as I wrote it in about 10 minutes as a throw away...but ;there ya go

Well done that man

Phill

PS I like the way you used the 1st verse as the chorus

hi buvvy,

2 sugars for me please,

very un PC though...peasants? well i never...lol

i could just imagine that situation and conversation...nice one, very lateral thinking

phill

hi doc...are those tablets too strong for you my friend?

dont diss plant and page if you dont mind, or it may be a stairway to heaven for you! you can say what you like about the rest

oh here's another line;

is gordon brown in the brown stuff?
is russia going too fast?...[rush??? oh well]

i could go on but lets have some  input from other brainiacs

phill

lippy only comes from some gorgeous female's lips my friend...i'll see what i can do about posting the track

phill

ps i wore a kilt once...does that qualify as a dress?

well, thanks everyone, unfortunately there are people out there like this! it's strange though that i've heard if 2 in the same area.

russ, it's a weird thing but guys, like women, will accept all kinds of abuse and beatings mistakenly thinking that it's being doled out to them out of love...love?....nah it takes them years to work it out that their abusers just like being boss and inflicting pain.

hi daddycool, i knew a lot of women that had their man hurt them, now i know some guys too.

hi kenny, no i didn't know your ex's personally, but i think they may be related to some women i knew...

hi alan,  money...how much...lol

hi roger, english or portuges? we are always richer and wiser after the event!

hi ken,  go on...be a devil i dare you to serenade your wife with this, i haven't the guts to sing it to mine, she wont believe it's about someone else, she always believes the bad things, never the good...women are funny...aren't they?

hi selso,  i know some hank williams, but i'm not familiar with that one, but knowing it's a hank song, i'll take it as a compliment...thanks
