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.

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.

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.

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

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.     

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.

For some reason I'm having difficulty YouTube on my internet connection always seems to happen when it rains. I'll keep trying.

Just saw Larry's latest pic, he's put on quite a bit of wait. Has to be all the rats at no 10.

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?

Titled "Rain" probably the simplest song I've written in months. Not on soundcloud yet, I will inform when it's live.

Rain.Undefined


INTRO[C-G-Am-F]




[C] Rain. Running like a [C] waterfall.


[D] Tears of the [G7] angels.


Saddened by the [C] wicked wind.




[C] Floods.Flowing through my [C] broken heart.


[D] Water running [G7] cold.


Running through my [C] veins.


(CHORUS)




[Fm] And every time I [Am] call your name.


[Dm] The clouds grow darker [G7] overhead.


And then they start to [C] rain.





[C] Rivers. Flowing down my [C] window pane.


[D] Like tears on my [G7] face.


Drying in the [C] wind.


(REPEAT CHORUS)




(RIFF PLAYED UNDER)




Rain, rain. Go away.


If you must come another day.


Take the clouds and leave the sun.


All the kids can have their fun.

Cheers Brian and Piri it is so surreal what's happening with the British politically powerful I really don't know what to make of it.

I once called it "the idiots threesome" Johnson, Trump and Putin. the ruling tory party got rid of BoJo now they want him back, can i come to live in NZ please? i've heard there's a good PM there

I don't know who said it but it's true...youth is wasted on the young. It'll be 42 years Ann and I have been together in May next year and that time has flown but I echo your sentiments, I can't imagine going on without her and she tells me the same. As we're both in our 70s now it's unlikely that either of us would actively look for a replacement. We argue but making up is just as good as it's always been. As I always say...if you don't have bad times how do you know when you're having good times?
I haven't listened to the recording yet but your words have great meaning for me. Brilliant
