Re: Come On Back; It's Christmastime (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I'm looking forward to hearing it too, Phill. But with all the angst and pain that your song evokes, it might be more appropriate to refer to them as "slay bells".
Ken
Or "slayballs" in this case.

Fantastic Ken I love it - you should send it to some famous country singer see if they'd do a cover.

Well, would we expect anything different in this crazy year ?
We just got about 28" of snow dumped on us in 12 hours.
I think it should be noted as SNOWVID-20 ! ![]()
It is beautiful. Wouldn't it be great if it was a Christmas miracle and somehow the snow eliminated Covid 19 ?
Be safe everyone.

Thanks my friend
It's funny - once I got into finalizing it, that's exactly how I had it framed and pictured in my mind - a song that would be sung by a church choir or congregation.
I'm still looking for time to record it.
Thanks for the kind words Peatle.
Happy Holidays to you and Maree

I made some changes in lyrics and chords-( i don't know if you can see them or not)
I feel pretty comfortable playing it now.
I'm going to try to get a recording up soon.

Phill
Here is a funny story about masks.
I teach 8th graders and I have an autistic young man in my class.
About a week ago I happened to mention that it really stinks to have to wear these masks and hopefully soon it will be over.
Gio ( the boy) raises his hand and says " Mr. Kenyon, what really stinks is smelling my own breath inside this mask !"
It was most comical - even though he was very serious!
Nice song Phill - cheery tune to a wicked situation - and it came out great - masterful !
Living in New York State - Covid is running rampant - mostly due to people being idiots and not following proper covid protocols.
Many schools are now remote learning and probably heading towards all schools soon.
anyway, thanks for the sound - sounded great.
Hope you, Ann and your family ( as well as all our Chordie friends) stay safe and healthy.

Jeff, Ken, Peatle
Thank you for the kind words.
I like it, hoping I won't kill it by recording it.
It sounds good inside my head, its when I actually sing it all tends to go south. ![]()
Thanks again fellas

Beamer,
yep listened to them all. The California Hustle and flow was the one I liked best.
I think they are quite good, but I'm not sure about the R7R hall of fame.
Thanks for the posts though - I liked listening to them

I can't remember half the stuff from last week ! ![]()
Yeah I thought you were going to do a couple a while ago, though I can't remember which ones
If you want to give this one a shot be my guest. I thought Phill was going to do it but Ann must have made other plans for him
just like my wife does.
Anyway, I'd be honored if you did one of my songs. I'm not much of a musician and it is always so cool for me to hear my songs really played by guys that actually know how to play and can sing.
Thanks and I hope your new equipment is awesome.

Re: Beartooth (4 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
jeez- at the risk of sounding like broken record - ditto to what Phill said - Loved the first song - loved the last song too
Alas, I am not a big metal fan (mostly bc I can't play it !) - but this caught me off guard. I was really surprised at the harmonies they achieved. Also really super surpised to see the violin being played. after listening to this the third time - I came to appreciate it more.
Thanks though Scott - I really liked this - opened up a new view of metal to me.
