hi peeps
for my part, thanks for all your great comments, it was a great pleasure and honour for me to be asked by kenny to take part in this truly world-wide team effort. lena's words do hold a magic and it was a pleasure to put my voice on the recording. well done to all contributors, specially kenny for his haunting theme.

HI RUSS

PHILL
hi jared,
i dont completely understand what your asking, i think the answer all the same is; if you have written words and have a tune in mind, how can you post it or make it sound more proffessional?
firstly, do you have a recording facility?, do you play an instrument?
if you dont play but can record, just record your song without any backing just voice, and ask if someone can transcribe it for you, there are many very talented musicians on this site that will help
down load it to my space, [or your myspace] and post the words, and musical help request on the recording section. i hope i'm not speaking out of turn, and other chordians wont get annoyed at me for saying this, but we are her to help each other?
phill
thanks to all of your encouraging remarks
russ, thanks pal, it's great to have you as a friend and ally
helena, as i was writing this i could see all those pathe images you speak of, where the soldiers just sit in the plane or ship, and they are all so quiet, and you wonder what they're thinking about, their friends who died, their families waiting at home, i just had to put it down, thanks again
kenny, i checked now you check...lol. in actual fact, i'm working night shift this week, so i wrote it at about midday, noticed you email said 4. am? so who's the night owl?
hi ken, thanks, glad you like it
jerome, when i wrote "men have always delighted in killing each other" what i meant was our leaders have always delighted in sending out the cannon fodder [us lower classes] to kill and be killed for their greater glory, but as you can see it wouldnt have fitted very well!
how many Victoria Crosses have been given out? and how many of the names can you remember?
we all remember churchill, bush, thatcher, hitler, or if you want to go further back, napoleon, csesar, hanibal, alexander, they all enjoyed the killing but where were they? safe at the back directing traffic. there are leaders and there are the lead, lets just hope our leaders arent as bloodthirsty and greedy as their predecessors

My bladder woke me this morning and when I got back into bed this was nagging me so I had to get-up put it down then record it in a matter of 3 hours. It deals with the feelings soldiers get as they come home from war, it's not just about the present conflict, but about the 1st and 2nd world wars and the Falkland conflict, and all the other wars before and since, and if you've a mind; back to time immemorial as men have always delighted in killing each other. That does not detract from the fact that these people that put their lives on the line for us are anything less than HERO'S, and I thank them for their sacrifice. It's in Waltz time
Thanks for the explanation Roger, but having worn a kilt at my son's wedding [in Scotland 2 years ago] I can confirm that there is another wee jobby they perform, which has to do with the reproductive system...keep it warm...ahhhh 
Phill
thanks jock,
may your porridge be warm your bag pipes dry and your sporran...well

hi jeff,
nice story which i notice is not on myspace yet, never mind i expect it'll get there. great story young man, when do we get part 2? because as you get to the exciting bit the song ends, so there has to be " a tale 2" yes. cant wait to hear it my friend
phill
Your such a lovelly person Russ, and your right of course, no matter how good it sounds tonight, tomorrow it'll sound crap.
keep the faith...rock on
phill
I have this latent tendency to over record my songs, and then I want everything forward in the mix, I like this bit bring that up, oh I like that bit make that louder, I cant hear the guitar...etc etc, any one else suffer with over packing?
Phill
hi buddrow
you obviously have been writing for some time, if not and this is your first attempt then very well done, even if you have many others you can be proud of this, it's very lyrical and tasteful, i get the feeling it's about ascending to heaven? now that's different
phill
when i saw the title, i thought it said;"lovely brown ale" i thought i gorra see this one, i wasnt too disappointed that it wasnt about beer, i was thinking of a 20 year old version of you and your loved one, then i thought; whats wrong with gazing into your wifes eyes 20-30 years on holding hands etc, me and my wife still do, of course my love has blue eyes.
another goodie

Hi Russ
you know you can rely on me to do whatever I can
Phill
HI LONE,
welcome to chordie.
excellent 1st song, i like the way you've planned out your arrangement, even before putting a tune and backing to the song.
well done, looking forward to hearing the finished song
phill
hi kenny
i like soundclick just fine, it's a wee bit confusing to navigate at first till you get into it, as you can see...i'm not quite there yet.
thanks helena
nice to hear from you as arkady mentions i put down the wrong address for this song, if you'd like to hear it, the link is at the bottom
mr arkady
superman to the rescue!!! thanks for the proper address we could all have been stumbling round in the dark for all time with out your help. it's little things like that, that makes this site such a joy to be part of.
thanks again to all

the song was written around my own happy and sometimes not-so happy childhood memories.

This is all about my godmother aunty Dolly, and how I used to wait for her to arrive at Christmas time, she lived in High Wycomb so it was quite a drive down to South Wales. For Dolly

phill
hi friends
thanks for the lovely comments, as ark says it's now on my web page, sorry for the voice i've been working a lot over the last few weeks and i've got very hoarse [or is that horse?] or is it a frog in my throat...so let the frog sing... the old ones are the best
phill
hi deadstring
i've been playing in public for 30 + years, [in pubs and clubs, i drink orange squash as i'm driving home], i never get nervous unless i'm playing with someone i'm not sure i can rely on.
as for fluffing your guitar parts we all do it, and the more you worry about it the more you'll do it.
as for playing in church; it's not that the congregation wont forgive you, it's the fact that they'll all be gossiping about you till they find someone else to gossip about...so why worry, be flavour of the month and enjoy the notoriety... 15 minutes of fame and all that!
