thanks everyone,

in order;

russ,  i was also present at 3 of my four children's arrival, i never fainted and thought the experience was brilliant, glad i wasn't the one on the table...my sympathies lie with the women on this one...on the other hand, as i recall, it was usually the wife who said "let's have another one..."

roger, thanks, glad to be back. the recording needs some fine tuning, in the next few days, with any luck. it's a toughie finding the right title isn't it? i think i may well stick to "baby song"

helena, glad you had a look at my photo's, i'll put some more up soon, and yes they do take after my wife...thankfully, i'll pass your congrats around.

kap,  thanks, ads i said earlier the recording is on the way, and i do appreciate and look forward to comments, good or bad.

may your god smile sweetly upon you all

hi daddy

money, dont get me started.

as a common or garden manual worker, i'm just cannon fodder for the bankers [spelling mistake!] which means they can do just as they like with us. they go bust, we lose all our savings and pensions, but they still get their bonuses...work that one out

good song mate very thought provoking....lets have a revolution

phill

hi kap,

yeah man keep music live, let music live.

i agree with all the sentiments [specially the one about disco's] i like the way you've written this when will we hear it?

phill

hi ark,

love the sound of the acoustic, and as you say, it's really chill out time, i could lay back on a sunday afternoon after lunch and a pint, and drift off quite happily.

great

dare i say it: the beatles "drive my car"

i hate rap, i dont need it and i dont want to hear it! as you say; it's all about profanity, fighting gangs and shooting people. i much prefer the inocense of the 60's when if you made a sexual reference it had to be so veiled. remember the storm over lennon saying "bloody" on "i am the walrus"?
i know it's a bit over the top saying all rap songs are the same, i dare say there are some out there that are more relevant to peace and love and getting knife crime off the streets, without lewd sexual references, and offering peace and harmony to everyone, regardless of race or religion, but i have not heard one yet

"music was my first love and it will be my last" as the song goes, but rap is tuneless, and who is going to remember all the words in a years time, i know almost all the words to almost all the beatles songs, 40 years on, and i'm not alone there.

phill

hi daddy,
i got a nice chilled out, laid back feeling as i read this.

nice one mate

phill

wow jeff,

you've stuck the whole reference guide book into this one,  gambling, sport, and love [not necessarily in that order!]

i sense some strong emotions simmering in the background, but you describe me and the wife perfectly, i do something, she decides i've messed up, even when i think i've done a good job or just done good...it's wrong.

men and women are definitely different species, viva la difference!

cant live with em, wont live with out em

great song my man

phill

thanks to you all for your kind words,

yes any time you want to use any of my original ideas roger, just carry on [a small charge may apply]

phill

Hi folks,

I've reinstalled this one on myspace if you'd care to give it a quick listen. just hit the button on your left

phill

hi jeff, lena,

thanks and will do 1st chance i get, it's my wifes birthday tomorrow so i'm in the middle of making her a card, and composing a little verse, i have recorded it, so maybe tonight or the weekend.

ps, any ideas on a title jeff?

phill

I once had a friend who's father [how's that for a disclaimer?] had a saying "woe man"

Did Mccartney have it right... Venus and Mars?

Funnily enough I've never seen a chocolate bar named Venus

Having said all that I've written a song called "Venus in the Sky", it's about [uh] Venus in the sky, on one of those rare [very rare] clear summer nights we had a couple of months ago I saw Venus shining up there on it's own looking very beautiful and majestic...like all women

Do they do an X Factor for politicians?

job description;

Must be able to lie

Must be reasonably good looking

Must have a sordid past [and present]

Must be married and a closet gay

need I go on?
