I was hoping to write a song based around this news article, but am rapidly running out of time .... I'm putting this here as a placeholder to remind myself, and possibly put it up in the New Year.

Cheers

I think some of the psychological effect is also to do with the fact that previously we had "groups", now we have "artists" ... in the days of yore you'd look at a (generic) group and have a favourite (maybe two), the couple that were OK, and the one that was part of the group that was your least favourite, but he was still part of the group, and occasionally did something that amazed you.

These days the "group" concept is gone -  musicians are just hired hands for the (usually) vocalist/artist, who is the center point - the musicians can/do change, so you only have one focal point, which you either like, or don't like - or some shade of grey in between.

another point is that, when you bought LP's/Casettes ( and up to a point CD's) - you put an investment of time into them; looking at covers, reading the inner linier notes etc, as you listened to the music, you'd made an investment of time and money. These days it's easy to point your browser at TPB and download 10Gb worth of an artists life works in a torrent and listen to it on your headphones throughout your day while working ... so the investment of dollars is now low, as well as the investment of time.

I do not condone piracy in any way, shape or form.

If I were to get acoustic effects, I'd probably go with an AIO - the Boss one seems pretty good; or get a decent DI (Fishman/LR Baggs) and pump it through FOH ...

We've been listening to some old/new Australian favourites - "Aussie Jingle Bells", "Six White Boomers", "Santa's got a new truck" ... the kids found a huge load of them smile

So much appreciated, Peatle! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to yourself also. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Chordie Universe, that we have all appreciated your music, your poetry, your humor, and the in-depth background you often provide us with about so much of the world's great music. You're truly deserving of "The Loremaster" title, and we're fortunate to have you among us.

Here Here,
Peatles a great bloke.

I'd second that!!!!

That's superb work, Neo, both of them. Someone else here said that suffering often produces some of the greatest lyrics / music, and music is a great way to let it all out. Appreciate your work, and sympathize for what you must've gone through to produce it.

Thanks for the compliments ...

Cheers
