Without wanting to be critical or assuming of your current situation, and merely as an observation - I find I always write the best songs when pain is around. Hope things get better for you soon ...

I taught myself guitar, and I'd consider it a long slog to become mediocre; I've had lessons for my son on keyboards and he's become quite good in a short period of time ... if I were to do it again, or recommend, I'd go for the lessons ...

And welcome (or welcome back, whichever is appropriate) ...

Cheers

thanks Neo. i wrote it as a song, it took 3 sittings on different days which is why it gets a bit acerbic towards the end

Ha! That's funny, because as I read it - I was singing it in my head smile

that's good, i'd love to hear what you made of it?

Here you go Phill, this is kinda how it went in my head (sorry for the stuff ups, I didn't practice it a lot ... )

I have no doubt at all that you will record and post this entertaining song? Of course when it's spring with you it's autumn here. Enjoy your spring/summer and let's hear this soon.

Yep, going to be 33 today, summertime is finally coming (after a slow start!!!)
