In Nz the venue pays a license fee that covers bands that play.
Personally i`d rather hear original music.
Most of the cover bands around town play the same stuff & all sound the same.
I hope they are getting well paid for it,other wise why would you bother?
apart from getting paid i can`t see the point in doing covers.

I`m with you on that idea.

it seems many of the covers for SOTM are coming from
the chordie songwriters,so may as well support them by picking
their original songs as SOTM.

I do the talking thing often because i can`t sing,sometimes it kinda works.

Topic: Christmas song (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I see we`re all starting to think about christmas.
i may have posted this in the past but here it is again as it`s a xmas song.
thought i`d better write a nz xmas song as we have xmas in summer.
although we seem to end up singing winter songs,i guess thats tradition?
hope it gets you in the mood.
Also many many thanks for your support on my last `ramble` thingy.
I had a blast doing it,i just said whatever came into my head.
As with other contributions if it ain`t supported people stop contributing.

Re: NEED HELP PUTTING CHORDS INTO A SONG (28 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Gidday USD&BW
You`re in the right place to put your songs.
I had a play of this,it works real well.
I left the C out every third line just to add variety.
then every 5th line i repeated the last few words of the previous line
using Em then C.
You`ll get heaps of good ideas from other Chordians
