hI Jeff.

A hell of a cross section, blues format with a bit of rock & roll mixed into a country song? loved the hook "takes a lot to love a good woman but nothing to let her go" great piece of writing.     

Just thought, the Shadows did an instrumental back in the sixties called Hats off to Larry...     

Pedr, saddened to hear of your friends unfortunate and untimely passing. I'm sure they will live on in your memory.

Hi Jim, just waiting for the new month and deciding if the full works or the bare bones recording would be more acceptable?

Thanks Richard, I never thought of thunder fx just rain...we get plenty of that!

Thanks Jan. It's your invite and request for song to do with water got the juices flowing. Strange how it works sometimes?     

Hi Jeff. Just tried to listen to your song but the page came back "unresponsive" shall try again later.     

excellent! the way your words fall together, there are so many "hooks" the lines that catch the listener/readers attention. great song     

A nice piece of political/feline satire my good friend. The sane people of the UK are praying that number five isn't number three re_packaged!     

Grah, out of 12 posts 3 are spam. first post is 2009, so the whole thread could be closed or deleted, it's only you and Neophyte that are presently posting!     

Thanks Pedr. That won't be too difficult as I seem to have deleted it anyway.     

Nice set Grah. Am I imagining it or have you got an obsession with supermarkets?     

Thanks Jan, it took me quite a while to write, record then post it but it's a song about people's eccentricities which is why it got posted.

Thanks Grah. Yes it's the only double tracking on this song. It's funny sometimes I can do it other times I can't! I was thinking of adding strings but I'll probably leave it as is.     

Pedr, you swine! You made me go back to the smell of new mown grass. The sound of tree branches and leaves in the wind as you sit in the tree tops. The smell of oil and unleaded petrol in a service station. Melting tar on a hot summers day. The shimmer of the sea as seen from the hill top on my way to the beach on a hot summers day, we sometimes get two hot sunny days! The sound of a quiet conversation in the doctors waiting room. And my favourite; bacon frying on the griddle while the scent of toothpaste still hangs in the air.
How I long for those innocent days of the nineteen fifties and sixties when you had to wait two weeks for your pictures from your brownie camera to be developed...well maybe not for that, or grainy black and white TV that finished at 9.30! Having to get up at 8 o'clock on a freezing cold morning to walk the long mile to school. Apart from that you poem is really good.     

Oh, Jim. I meant to say after your well hidden hint; I've noticed that since the last one I did for you people now seem to be lining up to record your songs and doing a better job than me. I've also been busy recording backing tracks for a mate of mine so my time has been a little limited of late. Lets see if I get the  muse on the next one?
