Thanks EB. This came to me in the shower so I had to keep repeating it in my head incase I forgot it.
Hi Bill. Dosh is an old fashioned slang for money.
In a stroke is intended to mean "in a flash or immediately"
The things in the paper bag were her belongings not tax detritus. The bottom dropping out in the rain was to show how dumb she was, yet clever enough to fool the taxman...yeyh
Line 5, we have social security in the UK which will give alcoholics, druggies etc money, but I couldn't get that to rhyme...
Ich deign?
Monday's Child.
Monday's Child was named Tuesday.
Not pretty, not clever. No brain!
She carried her things in an old paper bag.
And so it fell out when it rained.
She lived on the money from begging.
The taxman lost out in a stroke.
She claimed lots of dosh from a man in a car.
For the leg that she claimed that he broke.
She lost all her teeth in a car crash.
She lost all her hair in a fire.
She should have stayed home on the day that she died.
Accident prone and a liar.
as i play lefty i have no problems following righties as rog says "it's like looking in the mirror" which is what lennon did when he and mccartney got together. i guess chord sheets would help a great deal?
Well done Peatle, you always seem to be able to put into words what I'm thinking, although I've never thought of it as rapid gunfire. Top marks again.
I'm not ready to pop my clogs just yet but I can echo all your sentiments, wish I'd done this, wish I'd said that etc, etc. When I think of all the opportunities I missed cos I was too lazy to go for it....
Well done, got me thinking.
Trump is always on about American jobs, he could make a name for himself by buying one each for all the White House staff...lol
I won't get one because I don't like the flat, thick neck not because I want to see Gibson to bust, though I wouldn't mind a top end acoustic....
Jim, I think you've nailed it. Deadeye's edit gives it that extra dimension. Well done to both
I often think when I see descriptive songs like this...are they fact or made up? This I believe to be a true happening, maybe not on the same trip or the same time. Beautifully written, I don't have my guitar with me and I'd so like to play it.
Post the recording soon
Peatle as a father of four and grandfather of eleven I understand each and every sentiment.
Your recording is quite dramatic but your vocals are very low in the mix. All I have to listen is my tablet so as I don't have my guitar either a test drive will have to wait till Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe Thursday but I will do my best. Great work.
I love Paul Simons work. I recently bought his Graceland's album with all his comments and recording and writing techniques....I found it very informative and insightful...it also shows that any little thing can become a song if you look at it the right way.
I suppose you could always post your songs in songwriting? As long as you get the formatting right, they will appear in chopro format. Your friends can then log into Chordie to play them and as an added bonus we can all share them and add comment and critique!
I feel used and abused....."why else would I write in here?" Tut tut tut!!! No only joking. It reads like you're running away from some misdeed you perpatrated in your youth?
So when can we expect the recording?
Another goodie. I don't know who said it but the quote goes something like....I may not agree with what you're saying, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it!
I'm happy with my Peavy which is quite powerful enough and heavy enough. I've more or less given up gigging so buying a new amp is not really cost effective as Ann is already on at me to sell my gear. Something I'm loath to do as I might get the performing but again, or maybe join a band...I think I'd like to do that...one day...
£254 for what looks like the same amp. Two fender speakers!!!
Bit of both I expect Russ. Maybe the prices have gone down lately, I'll check and get back to you on that one in all honesty I haven't looked for many years.
I've used Fender amps twice in my life time and was so impressed that buying one got on my bucket list. The only thing that detered me was the price. Over here they'd be twice the price you paid, at least. Enjoy it and think of me sitting here all envious.
All my kit sit in two boxes...FX, cables, 10 socket extension block, 3 metre extension lead (for places that have no sockets handy) mic stand feet, screw driver set and mini disc's. Guitar, amp and PA, stands and mic stand are all carry on. It normally takes about 30 minutes in a normal venue to carry everything in and set up. I've never done an open mic night but seeing as I'm not playing so much anymore I may do a few.
Hi Dondra, glad you're feeling better. Ann likes nothing better than to cut any hair that has the audacity to show itself on my body, well it gives her something to do!
Keep well my dear friends
I almost wish that I was starting again. Reliving that adventure of twisting your fingers around the strings and making the chords sound tuneful.
So, all the best with your great adventure, come back often and don't be afraid to ask even the most silly question or the most difficult, there'll always be someone to give you a solution.
Thanks for that Jim, I did ask for a guide. I notice you are playing the new electric? Sounds good if a little out of tune?
I won't be able to do anything for a couple of weeks as I'm off to Lanzarote for a well earned holiday... that's my excuse any way. We'll see what I can come up with then.
Due to financial reasons my first guitar was really, really cheap and nasty! The action was high and octaves were further out than Pluto! But it did strengthen my fingers. After saving for a few months I had enough to buy a better one which made playing a lot easier and tuneful. As time passed and I got more proficient and had a better cash flow, I got to the stage where I could choose a guitar that suited me as a player instead of my pocket.
So, I would suggest (unless you've already gone through that stage) get a cheapie, strengthen your digits and find out if the guitar is right for you before paying out great sums of money that might be better spent elsewhere
Peatle...you are a mine of information. I apologise for mixing up the presidents, but I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong...but wasn't Washington English? So maybe he had some of the Waterloo dead peoples teeth?
Abe Lincoln...you might have heard of him? had a set of wooden teeth. Just thought I'd impart that bit of trivia...
