I don`t really like doing rhymes,but i went crazy this time.
The Mountain King
What became of the mountain king
he used to rock he used to swing
had many hits.. at the top of his game
had it all... wealth and fame
but bought down by ..the use of drugs
sold to him by crooks and thugs
lost it all to bad advise
tried comebacks ..once or twice
minor hits here and there
but the best ...so long ago
that`s what happened to the mountain king

Some where reporters turned into journalists.
A reporter reported the news,journalists seem to have more freedom to
express their own opinion on issues,but it`s not always accurate news.

Here's what I wrote on SoundCloud: Those chords sound jazzy, Brian and the voice sounds like a guy sitting in a bar at 3 am with only one couple left dancing. Yep. I definitely feel like you got the "feel" of what Jan wants!
Nice little tune, you "Romantic Fool". LOL!
Bill
if i was singing in a bar i`d be lucky to have that one couple there.
they don`t call me The king of audio torture for nothing!

i left you a message on Soundcloud,just a personal opinion as i`ve had the same problem.
I don`t have a clue about jazz also,all i know is it is a feel.

Re: The Last Gig (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
All you chordians playing live ,i am in awe of you.
There seem to be places like pubs where people demand the covers.
But there are places like folk/country/open mics where you can play
what u like & originals.
TF if you enjoy playing live there is a venue waiting to hear what you got to offer.
Get back on the horse cowboy.

Re: The King Of Audio Torture (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I put this one on soundcloud because TF said he could hear my
influences in my other stuff.I`m influenced by everything i ever
heard.Goodness knows where this came from though,also only used one chord.

Re: A Couple Of Questions Re: Your Listening Habits (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Gidday Bill
i`m always looking for something new/different.It`s pretty hard to find anyone
playing music from a new viewpoint.It seems the same stuff is going round and round.
I still like the classic stuff but hanker for truly original stuff.
After two tracks i kinda know if it will excite me.But of course good music often takes
some getting into,so i often persevere,often rewarded.
but in these days of easily accessible free music it`s getting harder to immerse yourself
in an artist when there`s millions of others to choose from.
hopefully the reemergence of vinyl will get us back to listening to an album as a whole again.

Gidday Julian
Congratulations on your graduation.I gather you are learning guitar.
Well a word of caution, being a guitar player is a chick magnet.
(I have no experience of this as i must be the exception.)All the best for the future.
And of course the chicks.
You have a wonderful grand father cherish him.
Good Luck from us Kiwis.
