Thanks.
A great little song and fun to play. I couldn't help thinking of John Entwistle and his Boris.
Good luck with the twerking, but remember. The A & E gets pretty crowded at this time of year.
Take my word for it...no one wants to see me twerking, even the wife looks the other way when I strip my clothes off. LOL
I hadn't thought of Boris the spider! I bet Graham could make a good song of it as he is a big Boris fan...not
some of those chords need 15 fingers i think?
i have to say i don't understand punk music so i'll be very interested to hear a recording of it.
it took me a while to work out what AED was, i got there in the end! i'm off to give it a listen now.
great song Jim, 4 line verse 8 line chorus, I agree with Ed not the usual song layout. Having said that not your usual song subject, a slight departure, I like it a lot.
I hadn't even considered option 4 but it deserves it's place. Nice one
Thanks Jim, will do and it should read tweeking not twerking! Predictive text strikes again.
As an addendum; there are three ways the words can be read:-
1) a simple halloween song for kids.
2) a song about a coercive and violent stalker.
3) a person planning a murder.
only option 1 was on my mind during writing.
Thanks Pete and Brian. It does have two meanings depending on how you read it...ha ha! My eight year old granddaughter was watching me type it out and reading it aloud and making suggestions and many questions, why do spiders eat flies? The web never held what? Ah, the ever enquiring mind of an eight year old?
I have begun recording it but it needs twerking and refining.
A new song to celebrate all hallows e'en

I loved this song from the first time I heard it. Jeff has given me permission to record and post it on Soundcloud. I never do covers of completed songs but I had to do this one.
That was brilliant. I love the words, the guitar is great and I think the key change was the right way to go. As the saying goes; you should never achieve your dreams as you'll only be disappointed, that's my take on what you're saying, am I right?
Holy daytrips batman! You've hit the nail on the head there Jim, hope your not speaking from experience? Great imagery almost lapsing into classic. Not an easy one to sing I'd wager?
I enjoyed your word play and understand your vitriol. The dating game has changed a lot since I was a player...glad I'm out of it!
yup! i agree with jim...great song
I just got a Breedlove parlor guitar. It’s my go to for when I’m downstairs. When I’m upstairs it’s my old 1952 guild, which is the first guitar bought for me as a gift back when I was 5-6 years old. Still sounds great.
I'm so jealous, I'd love one of those. played one way back in the late 60's it only had 3 or 4 strings but it sounded and felt great in my hands.
I think we've all been there? You've put down in words how we've all felt at sometime or other. Sorry to hear about your ear problem, hope it gets better soon.
For practice or recording I use my Crafter for two reasons it has flat sides so it won't slip off my lap and it has a great acoustic sound when recording with the internal pick up.
My Tanglewood has a curved body so it does slip off my lap! But the neck fits my hand perfectly and sounds great unamplified, not so great useing the internal pick up. Swings and roundabouts.
For live or recording something raunchier it has to be my Fender Telecaster, the Strat for the more country sound.
I listened to your original recording and I thought very country and western. I listened to BGD version and I thought reggae! Then I listened to the last one and I thought...yep you've mixed both with a bit of cockney cheeky chappy accent and what sounds like a uke on my tablet speakers! I like it.
Oooh! Been there done that. There's nothing worse than a "friend" that smiles to your face while their stabbing you in the back. Consign him to the bin my friend. At least you got a good poem, possibly song out of his treachery?
funny in places, sad in others. a celebration of a new relationship? i get an undertone of " is she, isn't she" but i wont go into that.
i laughed out loud at "at least i didn't wake up the wrong side of dead" that's how i feel every morning.
i like it.
I see your little vacation has paid off handsomely Jeff! This side of the pond we call it "the day job" . Balancing both day job and the busking for almost 40 years helps pay for stuff. You usually find the traveling, the incidentals like strings or new/replacement equipment and repairs still leave you in deficit. But it's the love of performing, though I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be in the audience on a new years eve gig? I'll find out this year I expect.
Great little song, I could hear a banjo doing the finger picking.
Hi Jim. This song has a very memorable melody. I was called away for a few minutes and I was still humming the tune. Your singing and playing are coming along fine. Good song
Songs on the chordie menu are collected by the program but are not hosted by chordie. If a song does not appear there it's because no one has entered it. The Spinners as a folk group probably recorded and performed traditional songs so you may look for a specific song title rather than songs by the artists.
True factoid...Barney's mother was a German shepherd called...strangely enough...Lassie and as you say a lovely dog, faithful and affectionate unless you were of evil intent Then woe betide!
