Jim its funny you posted a comedy song ,for years I have written comedy songs but I usualy only do them at private functions or party's for friends as some of the lyrics are a bit crude .I think I can adapt the one you posted though .
Brian We used to do the Dave Edmonds stuff a few years back so maybe I can give it another go ,re the Quo I've tried to avoid them for years even though I am a big fan ,maybe I will try one or two of theirs .
Joe, when I played with Cindy Scholl from Maine we used to do the Van Morrison stuff always went well ,great suggestions guys .

Thanks for the comments guys ,it took about 10 mins to write on Friday morning before I went into work and anther 10 to record on Saturday .Age ism is a subject I feel pretty strong about especially since I came back to live in the UK .In Greece it didn't matter if you were 16 or 60 , its a different story here .

Re: Got A Funny "GIG STORY" You Wanna Share.... (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A few years ago we were booked to play a st patricks night party for a bunch of expats in greece .now as a band GB didnt travel light wealways had a light show an our own kick ass pa system ,ear bleeding loud so we set up and kev our suport act did his usual 60s pop thing and then we took to the stage starting off with a good irish song whisky in the jar followed by 2 Rory Galagher songs and that about exausted our irish repertoire,so we continued with our usual rock and blues set only to be stopped by the organiser saying that paddy murphys grandma or some other quaint irish person would now get up and perform unacomanied irish folk songs.Now had we had earplugs and been paid upfront then I would have probably smiled and laughed it off however we hadnt been paid so my immediate thought was to start packing my gear and leave them to it .Anyway two drunken irish folksongs later the organiser is asking for some one out of the audience to help by singing some more irish songs,however the night was saved when the audience responded with bring the band back on..So we played for an hour and left saying thats the last st paddys night we will ever do.

Re: Got A Funny "GIG STORY" You Wanna Share.... (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Probably the one about the drunken French guy is the best, he was dancing at the front and kept trying to get on stage . The bar owner "a big guy "escorted him out 4 times but somehow he kept getting back in and gradually got drunker ,As we started playing Iggy pops wild child he leapt on to the stage Steff and I both fell backwards into the drum kit ,but kept on playing Elpida our girl singer then grabbed both mic stands and carried on singing as though nothing had happened while the bouncers grabbed the guy and threw him into the street like something out of a wild west movie .Apparently they then gently escorted him well away from the bar. Any way he didn't return.
