Very clever and funny Pete! Love the sound FX at the end. I also love the way you drop those clock, cat, Christmas tree etc in. You're a clever multi talented feller. I bet the cat keeps licking his fur wasn't your first thought?     

and to you my friend and the lovely Maree.

to be honest i don't like that recording very much. it's very basic, my voice was a bit raspy...and i threw it all together quickly to get it up on soundcloud ASAP. i've been trying to finish the real recording which has key boards and drums and a guitar solo, but i know you guys prefer just voice and guitar so that's what i did.

here's a stripped back (near naked) demo, just voice, guitar, bass and tubular bells....no sorry I mean sleigh or slay bells

Coming soon, just a few finishing touches....like sleigh bells....I'm not joking!     

Sounds really nice. I couldn't tell if it was through an amp or mic. Nice country song too, very witty and layer back.     

you lucky pups! it's cold and wet with us at the moment. we haven't had a decent snow fall since I don't know when. I do remember one winter when I was doing a gig in the Welsh valleys; when I got to the venue it was just a few flurries, a few hours later when I'd finished, my car was under 6" of snow. I cleared the roof and windscreen, loaded up my gear and moved the car near the front door so Ann wouldn't need to walk through the snow too far. I went in to get her...10 minutes later after she'd said goodbye to everyone, we got to the car and it was 6" deep again! 5 miles from the venue the snow had cleared and it was raining. they're called the valleys but there are mountains either side...glad those days are over.     

Hi Jim. yep we're good hope you and your family are  good too. I loved the school story, I hope that didn't embarrass your pupil too much?

it's funny the chords came first, it's usually the words. I wanted to give the doubters a kick in the butt, as usual they are the ones that will keep this modern day black death hanging over our heads. it must be eradicated like measles and mumps, small pox etc. call me doctor Phill...lol     

Hi Ed. Part of the reason I put that line is that there are pillocks that won't have the jab....and some of them work with old folk! They must think they'll grow an extra head over night, might double their intelligence?
Thanks for the review     

there are so many twists and turns and some great chord changes and the way you take us from a weather song to a break up song seamlessly. i love the way you hammer in the chorus and yes you do begin quietly and shock and awe with that mighty chorus. i could hear the bass and drums backing your voice and guitar from the background. that mic may be a cheapie but it sounds great.     

there's plenty of tutorials on youtube
