know what you mean kap, i hate the sound of my voice [the wife hates it too apparently ]

but i think my live voice, when i'm doing gigs, is much betterer as i can let go and belt the notes out, so maybe stand back a bit from the mic and let 'em rip

cant wait to hear it

hi kap,

been off-line for a week so i nearly missed this one, it's a truely lovelly song, and the chords fit beautifully [the way i played it anyway, which was very mid 70's prog rock not heavy but gently]

great chords on the chorus that last Bm to F#diminished, where did you find that?

i played the C add 9th on the 8th fret adding the 9th on the 6th string to add the D note and then the G chord as natural, it gave it a nice feel, i dont know if thats the way you meant it but i found it good that way.

hope you find someone to correct you and put you in line [and pick up your old sox and stuff] also comfort you... soon

hi Russel,

whiskey is the domain of the Irish [as in Helena] and tea English as in daddy cool] we Welsh are known for "cawl" which is a kind of thick stew with potatoes meat and vegetables.

as a drink we might also partake of the odd glass of tea or whiskey or vodka, but there is a local beer called brains beer [which is not made of brains at all...it just tastes like it!]

also as wales is quite a mountainous country, we have some of the worlds purest and sweetest natural water [which is why the English keep trying to flood the whole place ]

your national drink is tequila...right?

hi helena,

arnt ducatti's motorbikes?

i've become aware of your "mantis women" over the last few years, they are the ones that [while i'm on stage singing] will flash their bra's [if their wearing them] or of late, their thong!

i'm not boasting but a few have even come up and fondled me! they must be hard up to need to fondle me....

yes you've hit the nail on the head here, well described and written, love to hear it as you intend it, so get recording

phill

hi russ,

the big man strikes again

i could almost taste the coconuts and smell the "gaanja maan"

HI DADDY,

keep em coming

phill

hi Roger,

nice one mate. when i played it i assumed it was in waltz time, then reading further down i saw you'd recorded it so i played that, and it was in 4/4, and slower! so there you go which is why it's always good to record the song as well as putting the words up

lovelly song beautifully recorded well done to Arcardy for his part too

Phill

ps condolences to Hayley Burk's family

hi russ,

like i said to you the other day, i've written two new songs, [i never mentioned the titles] one is called "betrayed", so you can imagine my surprise when i saw your "betrayal"  but reading through your words theres a bit of a different slant to the two songs. i thought for a moment we were two minds acting as one!
nice words heart rending, hope you've got over the pain. i like the way you go all biblical "woman what is thy pleasure" classic

you've hit the spot again

phill

HI THIS SONG IS NOW ON MYSPACE

HAVE A LISTEN

PHILL

thanks kap, yes she was a wonderful woman, i've been lucky all my life that i've had strong yet vulnerable women around me, my gran, my mother, my god mother-aunty dolly and now my wife-ann, i'll get around to writing about them all eventually [most of my songs are about my wife].

i dont know about putting music to it though, at the moment all my music seems to be coming out sounding the same. composer required apply within

phill

I dont believe a song is just words or just music or just the singer or how good the backing is! it's got to be all of them and sometimes just one or two in the mix, hope that makes sense to you. With that in mind my list would have to include;

Jon Anderson...[Yes]
Ian Anderson...[Jethro Tull]
George Harrison
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Peter Gabriel
Phil Collins
the list would go on for ever,
I'm also very partial to Brian Wilson, that guy from Nickelback, anything by the Eagles etc.

I was listening to Whitesnake Greatest Hits on my way home from my gig last night [I love metal] and even though the music and singing were XLNT, the words left a whole lot to be desired! but it's done them no harm, has it?

phill

hi daddy,
your just an old softee really arent you?

i met my wife about 15 years before we met a second time, she didnt like me at all the first time, now she's coming 'round i think!!! no seriously, we clicked with a hell of a bang the second time, we met at a wrinkleys disco, and danced for an hour before we realised that our friends had given up waiting for us and gone home...never looked back since.

your song rings true my friend, it's great
