on two writers that are very different ,the poor guy is optomistic and the rich guy masquarading
as a poor guy is pesimistic.interesting?

Shes great,an actual talent on these type of shows is a rarity.
I hope she doen`t let them mould her into something different to what she is.
but i suspect they will.

I`ve heard a piece of instrumental music and i love the sound.
i`ve heard it a few times and don`t know if it`s guitar or keyboard.
Or hows it`s produced.
an example that you may know is the instrumental break in BJ Thomas
`eyes of a new york woman``
thanks in advance

i wrote this a yr or so ago,with the recent tragedy in Christchurch it is even more topical.
i`m sorry to say the finger pointing and blame game has started,it`s almost point scoring
at the exspense of so many lost lives.goodness knows what has become of my once peaceful country.

Topic: Beamer (33 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think we should rename chordie,instead call it Beamer.
He`s the only one keeping it alive,i guess many like myself
are talking behind the scenes because of the lack of conversation on here.
it is a shame the lack of interest in others.
it never ceases to amaze me the differences between musicians and my other passion(tennis)
i`ve met and played a lot of people(tennis) without exception they are interested in talking about their game and also mine.
it seems a pity musicians are so different.
there got that off my chest!

Re: Tortured man recording/soundcloud (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
thanks for having a listen Phill & Peatle.This is the first song i have actually written.
i`ve done hundreds of songs,but they are usually off the cuff,with little or no prep.
this one took me a few days,got the idea for the title watching an old war doco.
loved the title,just needed to find some words to match with it.a few days of chatting
to people and reading the news etc gave me the other bits and pieces.
same with the chords used,i actually spent half an hr sorting that.
i was very happy with what i had written,but was scared to record it,as i thought i would ruin it.
finally once thru(unusual for me too)then record!
maybe i`ll do more songs this way in future,i`ll have to wait and see.
thanks again.
