Hi Jim, it's life but not as we know it. Sorry I had to do that!

Phasing, there's no "r" is the sound you might get by playing two recordings of the same piece of music simultaneously but not quite exactly....if you can, listen to Itchycoo Park, the sounds on the drums is phasing!

Chorus is similar to phasing like playing a guitar through a Lesley speaker, you get it on lots of song's especially country tracks. Lovely!

So, OK I said I wanted a uke, so I ordered a Beringer FEX800 Miniflex. It's a multi FX gizmo for vocal or guitar not a uke. so I'm a slut I saw something that attracted my attention and went for it, it should arrive end of this week start of next, good old Amazon. And only £62. woohoo

I've been thinking seriously about a uke. Also one of my grandsons has shown a sudden or unmentioned previously a desire to play drums or guitar! His dad is getting him the guitar so I was thinking about giving him my electronic kit which would mean I'd have to get a new one, a much more advanced and expensive kit of course....does that make me a bad person?

15 vodka and tonics plus a large brandy or two then 2 pints of lager?????? no, by the time i've driven to the venue, carried the gear in and set up i have just enough time to get a pint of orange squash and lemonade before hitting the first song. i don't seem to suffer with nerves before a show, sometimes during a song if i forget a bit or go to the wrong part, maybe. but i joke it off if i do.

I'd like to add my wishes to you all for peace and joy over the coming season and new year. Peatle, hope you get well enough soon to hit the high notes on you're chosen instruments.
I didn't realise there was a Perth in the US? There is a small town in Australia named Llanelli after my home town, I wonder if they have a rugby team called the Scarlets?

Buddy, the reference to first time posters is meant for new members that have no knowledge or indeed any inclination about music or interaction with musicians of any kind of standard. they are here simply to return later to add spam and/or infections which you seem to have contracted on your computer. due to the fact that you have been a member since 2012 your posts are discounted from that group of pests known as spammers. please don't feel slighted as i'm sure TIGLJK (Jim) wasn't referring to you and meant no slight. though it would be nice to have more members joining in with the forum conversations, asking for and offering help or just the pleasure of a chat.

hi Peatle, i won money on that game...not that i'm a gambler or anything! i think we`re in for a pasting this weekend, we only just managed to beat Georgia. whichever way it goes it will be a good game and the Kiwi supporters will be as welcome as ever to the after match cocktails(?) and singalong. as i always say; it doesn't matter who wins as long as the company is good and the beer is cold. yechid da

well thanks Victoria, but just to let you know, were not all beginners but as I'm sure you know the old timers are always happy to lend advice when asked. and congratulations on your first post, may you have many more

Last time. i hope it wont be the last time? i was really touched by your words here and with a grandchild of my own the words mean so much more to me. thank you Jim. oh and two great recordings.

Hey Dona welcome from Wales in the UK. Don't worry about spelling, my name is often spelt wrongly and worst of all they sometimes call me English! Now that is unforgivable.

hi Jim. high praise indeed from the master of the written word, thank you. years ago when i had the hair to my shoulders and beard to match, i was referred to as John, then Gandhi in the same sentence????

thank you Jandle, it's always good to hear from you.

thanks Peatle, i think of this as a follow up to Grah's last song. it's a subject that has been eating me up for quite a while, especially the story of the fellow in Afghanistan that thought he was safe as the "allies" had got rid of the Taliban, but as soon as they went the TB came back and cut off his head as punishment for shaving his beard! how sick is that?

  TF, so sad but true. we all left messages in our underpants back in the 60's with the Cuban crisis. but today with the world being run by businessmen we are in even greater danger. thanks for the listen and comments.

well you don't have to wait long as I've up-loaded it to soundcloud.....https://soundcloud.com/iphillfine/not-going-to-sing-tonight
