Re: MAY 2026 FSOTM – ANYTHING GOES (30 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Hi Richard
Ben our bass player records every gig and rehearsal with a zoom recorder/camera . Basicaly tosee where weve messed up LOL This was only the second full gig since October 25 ,due to my health issues we have another 7 booked so far plus a couple of solo ones each . .Its hard to book regular gigs at the moment as Jim our drummer is touring with Gaelforce a very successful uk folk rock band for most of the year and is allready booked into 27 . So we have to work around him .

No Jim we're not quite that old . Heres a link to the possible origin . I was unaware of the naked woman at Langcliffe even though I lived there for 9 yrs . I'll have a look for the carving on Sunday when I'm there . https://martintop.org.uk/blog/settle%E2 … -naked-man

Re: I Apologize For Nothing (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Its a good song Jim.
Your method of inspiration reminds me of somthing I used to do at University when I was studying writing for TV and radio especialy if I was looking to write a comedy sketch or play . I would go and sit in a cafe or a bar and try and tune into other peoples conversation , Some times the most random lines triggered an idea for somthing . I remember two drunks discussing music and getting it all wrong ,and as a budding musician I found it very amusing and it gave me the basis of a sketch . A method I still use sometimes today if I get the old writers block . But mostly now I wake up in the night with an idea and have to get up and write .
