They might get there, crawling on their knees

Been a lot of trouble, the world is in a mess

Maybe we can cure this social disease

Sailing on the ocean

We need some solution

Something that can help these, people please

Until then there'll just be more refugees x3

Re: Worthless (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks guys I woke up this morning with this in my head and had to get it down , I'll do an acoustic rendition of it as soon as I can , most of my songs can be played either electric or acoustic ,but I think I'll explore the acoustic version of this as I have an idea for a vid to go with it .

Re: Shooting Star (Myattempt at a little rockin' music instead of country) (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks for the compliment Jim glad you like the vids .Currently we are now only doing summer time in Crete it gets a bit damp here in the winter months and nothing much only raki brewing goes on ,I'm here for xmas but its back to the UK for new year and then maybe for much of 2015 if certain things happen ,its too early to say yet but it looks like we may be commuting next year .
Re the song get a sound cloud account and play it its great I'm sure your voice will be much better than you say the first step is the hardest and once you take it you'll be singing like a bird

I have never seen one of these devices before and like doug I also play an ovation the light weight and bowl body make for a comfortable play when used with a strap .

Re: Accelerated fret wear with Elixir strings ? (13 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Honestly Doug they still sounded good my other guitars have ernie ball slinky 9s and I replace them frequently I will be intrestesd to see how the cobalts compare soundwise they are ok but perhaps not as bright as the elixirs when new . The elixirs seemed to mellow as they aged .

Re: Accelerated fret wear with Elixir strings ? (13 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Well I finaly took the plunge and replaced the Elixirs with Ernie ball Cobalt 9s even though the Elixirs sounded ok after being on the guitar more than two years and played daily and gigged regulaly ,the fret wear I spoke about in the first post hasnt really got any worse . Wonder how long they will last in comparison ?I s this a record ?

Re: peavey rage 258 amp (5 replies, posted in Electric)
me too but some times when we do a festival here the sound guys provide a standard backline for all to use this usualy consists of a marshall stack a vox modeling amp and maybe if were lucky a fender twin reverb for the guitarists and a bass rig so its a case of getting what your given .This year the guys did a great job at all the gigs .

Topic: peavey rage 258 amp (5 replies, posted in Electric)
Any one tried a Peavey rage 258 25 watt amp.Is it loud enough for small gigs or would it be drowned out by the drums?
Some of the gigs in the uk I did last year were small venues where we played with out micing the amps amd with out monitors.The 3 amps I used were Roland 50 cube ,Marshall 30 dfx and a fender twin reverb ,all were ok but the variance in tone was a bit anoying so I thought maybe buy a small easily portable amp for this coming years gigs that I can easily throw in the back of the car .

Great nights Kev when we used to do the GB Blues band and friends gigs, with you Lefteris ,Elpida and the cream of Sitias musicians ,sadly the authority's have curtailed many of these events this year .While you have been away we have only had 5 live gigs this year as the venues seem to have cut back due to the new tax /insurance laws not to mention the noise problems .Thankfully the charity gigs seem unaffected ,you missed a great night at the medicines for Gaza gig.
