I  wrote   this  song  after   the  executions    by  IS earlier  this year  I  dont   think  I  posted  it .

Dark is  the  weather
Grey is  the  sky
sad  are  the  people  preparing to  die
who knows why  they  suffer the  people  relate
all now must  perish   for  that  is  their  fate
oh  why do they  have
to make  there  wars
what makes it right  to follow  a  cause
do you  think that your  god  tells  you the  truth
do you really  think he's speaking to  you
Forgotten faces  on a big screen
cant understand  the  horror  they've seen
what is  the  reason  no  one  can say 
as the blade  strikes  you all look away

Phill the control socket is for an external volume pedal to control the wah and pitch shift what I did was add a wire to the back of the drum on off switch ,any competant electronics guy can do this in about 15 mins

This song tells a story that is becoming too prevalent around the world .I try to help when I can cos you never know it could be me sat there Who knows what twist fate might bring.Good song beestie.

probably with  the  new  band  I'll  get  chance    dino  were  looking  at  all  sorts  of  stuff  currently  sea sick  steve and  captain beef  heart  to  name  but  2

I used  an RP 70  for  years  great  pedal pretty  much  the  same  as  the RP 55.I  stopped  using  it  when one  of  the  switches    broke   but  I   later  repaired  it and  still have it  as  a  backup in Greece  My  current   pedal of  choice    is  the  Boss  be5  just  4  effects    but    sounds  great for  what  I  need .

Not  likely  she's  a  worse  singer  than Bob

nice  tig  I hear  a  touch  of  dylan   in your  voice  every  time  you  sing  ,love  it .

TF I'm going  to  try  a  heavier  string  maybe  even   a  thin bass string  I  have  an ES 335  copy  here  which  sounds  nice  and  dirty for this sort  of  thing , on the  recording  I'm using  a  yamaha  pacifica  112

Thanks  Dino I  was  pleased  with  the  recording  and even more  that  you  like  it

The thing  about  band  members  is  when you  find  your  ideal  you  can  just  jump in  and  play  like  it  was  yesterday , Having  just  got back playing  with  John Prince  who  I last played  with  some  years back its  like  picking up  where  we  left off. Same  applies to  my Greek  band  pals   we  have  a  break  for  6  or  8 months  then just  play  like we've  been rehearsing  for  weeks   straight off. Magic.

I sometimes write bits down as they come up or just record a riff or progression on my lap top then come back to it when the next bit pops into my head but mostly I do the whole thing straight off usualy at stupid o clock in the morning
