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.

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.

Some times i wonder how into music chordians are.
some of us are music nuts,if you are like me you`ve got to listen this
a podcast on spotify ``the history of rock in 500 songs``
this is FANTASTiC the guy is taking 10 yrs to make this series
at the moment it`s up to episode 135 still 7 yrs of music to come
each show is about 45 mins the research is unbelievable,
if you love music, do yourself a favour, have a listen,dont think you will regret it.

all good Phill,i often think of stars that ``made it`` they often live terrible unhappy lives.
of course they have money and fame.but would any of us really choose michael jacksons or elvis life?
remember if you have to choose it`s all their life,not just the good bits.
