hi russ, you mean your not gay???  lol

i laughed out loud [honestly] when i heard the chorus, while i was at your website i stole a quick listen to your other tracks [cant remember names, it's an age thing] but the one you put on your stage was there too and still sounding top drawer, how did you do on that?

soap on a rope; as i was getting to the end of it [no pun intended] i was thinking; why cant he post this on chordie, then came the last verse!!!

are american prisons really that bad? we see all the movies over here, but i thought they might have been exaggerated slightly...

you'd think that tough guys would avoid the stigma of being a turd burglar as it might tarnish their street cred?

any way, keep your soap tightly on your rope [though you do seem to have a very high voice!] i'm only messing with you

keep rockin` boyo

roger,
jesus is that hard hitting or what? you certainly arent pulling any punches.

tell it like it is, spaced out, drug crazed [i almost said kids] people... are a curse and a danger to themselves and those around them, *there are none as blind as those who will not see* as you say in the song they all have this mistaken impression that they can stop whenever they want...

great song roger, a hard hitting story well told

wow russel, you want me to go up against those songs? they all sound so professional [and a bit rap] i dont like rap and modern free form jazz i can listen to most other forms of music!

the first couple of songs were very pro as if they were done in a real studio by pro's, whereas my effort will fall very short.

i have been trying to think up some kind of theme to use as a background, then coming to the fore between a couple of the verses, but nothing original yet, i keep getting peter and the wolf.

but i havent dismissed it or given up just yet, i'll let you know when i've got something. i find it's best to let these things work themselves out in their own time.

still happy to hear suggestions

phill

i like songs with characters you can identify, we all know a billy "good at drinking, but not at thinking" in fact i know a few...i'm no good at either, but i do know i like this song

hi daddy, or should i say robert?

back to cowboys then? i bet you wear all the gear when you go line dancing, two left feet myself gave up trying years ago

good one keep em coming

hi james,

your right, your never short of a big idea. i've been a fan of chamber music since elinor rigby, and i do love peter and the wolf. do you think it's good enough to be even looked at by a proper orchestra?  it would be wonderful, do ya know any orchestras?
sounds like the strings on my mu50 are gonna get a hammering again.

thanks for giving it thought.

now i must go, i've got 3 new songs waiting for vocal parts on my recorder. by the by, did you sort out your mic problem?

phill

thanks guys, i'm very encouraged by what you've said, i was expecting someone to say "yo man dis site is fer songs only" so thanks for the comments.

i'll give the major/minor thing a go russ, but at the moment no melody line comes to mind.

thanks daddy, i hope you've got a nice melody to go with the C to F riff.

yes it is rather long [and long winded] for a song james

thanks kap, i could see the trees and foxes myself as i put it all down. [54 eh? well i'm 57 at the end of this month, so there!!!]

i'll keep all your suggestions in mind

love and tree hugs to you all

now i like the thought of gently strumming someones beaver or is that caster? a friend of mine had a broadcaster and it didnt look a bit like a telecaster as it had 3 pick-ups and a shed full of knobs to play with if i remember correctly [it's old age catching up i'm afraid]

to flatpicker, ass is a kind of donkey, arse is what you sit on

hi james,

another gem. i wasnt a member when you first posted this one, so it's my first time...be gentle with me, and those little blue pils!

got to say i had a chuckle, and i cant help wondering if in the first chorus you meant to say;"now she's so much older" instead of "bolder" ??? chickened out, me thinks?

i have 9 grandkids, sorry correct that i have 8 and a half grand kids, no 9 is due in october, and i'd recommend it to anyone, their a great source of inspiration

great song james

hi kyle, if you play this long enough it will get a bit boring for you, can i suggest varying the sequence a bit, try;

F-F7-C-G| F-F7-C-C7|F-F7-Bb-G7-| C-Bb-Am-F||

if your playing it in the key of "F" the natural chord to play would be G minor, if on the other hand your playing in "C" you should start the sequence with a C chord to be musically correct as i was corrected some time ago by a classically trained keyboardist.

feel free to ignore this if it makes no sense
