To begin, I've never liked or rated Springsteen! Chuck Berry was very repetitive in his form of music, not to say he hasn't written some classics cos he has, quite a few in fact. I do like a good story song as long as it has a good tune, beat and performance. Most famous "nonsense songs" have a great tune and beat and usually do better than "real" songs. I'm still trying to figure out what "Human" is all about...great record, great performance but what's it about? Are we Human, or are we dancer?....what??

Unfortunately I've seen the world change so much since the 1950's. I have to add, not always in a bad way. I think men were being locked up, up until the 60's for being gay, so they married women to cover (themselves) (I think what I was going to say was too much of a pun?)  I think the advances in technology are great although being an old grump, I think a lot of it, musically, is missused. I was listening to the radio and a song just repeated the same line over and over again then went into an instrumental section which just repeated the same chords without the vocal. What has happened to pop music? It died RIP     

Hi Bill and Sondra, Ann and I wish you both a happy and rewarding Easter. I could only listen to a few seconds of that song as it's usually played at funerals here, but she looks and sounds great.     

I read somewhere that the producers of MP3's and music in general believe their mixes are perfect and need no other tonal control, ergo, no need for treble/bass control. I wish I was that perfect!     

this reads as if you've finally reached closure? i must say it reads like a page has been turned and you've finally moved on as has she. having been there, this moment feels like the lowest point in your life and your words reflect that. to be honest it reads like a song lyric? be strong, i feel you have more to say, this well is deep.     

Ditto to the above. Glad to see the digits are still working. Any comment from you is welcome and to be enjoyed.     

Guitar synth maybe? They've come a long way since the 80's. I remember seeing the Yardbirds with Clapton playing a Strat which sounded like a violin.
I also remember a McCartney interview during the Wings time, they used a mellotron which constantly required retuning. mellotrons used magnetic tape so I guess they'd stretch? The Beatles did use one on Strawberry Fields and Genesis used it a lot on Nursery Crime to mention but a few.     

Thanks Peatle, but I wasn't fishing for compliments just stating a fact. you only hear finished songs, not the raw bits that get edited out. You're a good friend and talented writer. I wish we could meet up one day and spend a bit of time chewing the fat and lubricating the larynx with some amber nectar?     

Medical science has proved that alcohol, smoking, greasy food, eating chocolate and taking too many pills cause all sorts of ailments including cancer and dementia! I'm surprised that sex and stepping in doggy deposits on the street haven't yet been blamed. The latest one here is car exhaust fumes. Makes me wonder what simple pleasure we can still enjoy they'll try and take from us next? Let's hope it's not playing music...?     

Firstly, open a new document in word. Next to the song you want to print out on Chordie or any other site. Highlight just the parts you want and click copy. Go back to your word page and click paste. You can then edit to suit yourself. It's easy once you've done it a couple of times.

I have to agree with Jim, well observed and written in an entertaining and truthful way. A close friend of mine who played cards every Thursday with the same school sat in the same seats died last year. Another guy, the first reserve, took over and voiced his trepidation sitting in a dead man's chair!
On other tables, like mine, we discuss politics especially Brexit but also lots of other topics. Btw, I'm about the youngest there!
I say again...great poem.     

I used my grandson as a simily, there is a new generation of musicians out there who should be encouraged not made to feel belittled by old hands squabbling over profanity. No one wants a load of spam popping up half way through reading the lyrics of a song...or do we?
As for banning members, did you inform the other mods to what you were doing?
On the other hand, people move on or pass on or have a grump with someone that was abusive or heavy handed.
It's not always an easy job.
