Wow!!!!
It's amazing for me to read your experiences and how you manage to put them to paper. I can't ever seen this being put to music, Lloyd Webber would struggle. But that matters not a jot. I'm not sure if it's an oratory or a commentary,it is a statement of true life and a report of an actual event.
Congrats to the All Blacks, like I said, they pasted us. But what an entertaining game.
Well done. A lesson to us all to keep our eyes and minds open.
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.
Welcome back to reality. Once you've had a taste of performing it's a hard thing to stop doing. I know that after my shoulder thing then I lost my voice it took me months to get back to playing live and even after getting back a month or so ago, I still can't be bothered to phone agents or venues. I suppose I've enjoyed the good life for too long...you want to see my beer belly, it's grown to immense proportions.
As I've said before take it easy. I should listen to my own advice, I've got a 3 hour gig tonight.
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
come into my parlour said the spider to the fly....sorry, no spiders here just fun and advice and plenty of room for a friendly chat. welcome
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
i would guess you mean country rocker? another little cracker, Jim. cant wait for the recording.
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.
hi Jim. just listened to Christmas child, it's well up to your usual standard and your voice has improved immensely 
gonna go back now and listen to the second song.
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.
Yep, I know the "sounds familiar" syndrome. I wrote and recorded a song a couple of years back. I sent it to Russ who quickly enlightened me to the fact it was an Eagles song with different words....gasp! Horror, so that was that. It's on a CD somewhere never to be heard again.
Bill, don't be downhearted, with a tweek or two here and there, no one will know the difference.
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.
thanks Grah and EB, happy that you took the time to look and comment.
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
i have recorded and up-loaded this new song and would be honoured and delighted if you would give it a listen and comment.
you will find it here...https://soundcloud.com/iphillfine/not-going-to-sing-tonight
here's a new song. it's not a love song, a rock song or a country Ballard. it's a rage about the inequality of life be it the poor kids of Brazil. the jihadists in the middle east. the rich of all the world. and my disgust that slavery still goes on in the 21st century.
Not Going To Sing Tonight. Phill Williams.
[D] I'm not going to sing tonight.
Because I [A] feel too sad.
If I could change the world.
And [D] everything that's bad.
I would. Light the lights. Feed those kids.
That [A] live alone on the streets.
And punish those that hurt those kids.
While their [D] own lives are sweet.
[Bm] No-one cares. In their ivory towers.
While their [A] champagne chills on ice.
[Em] Spending more on one small meal.
Than a [G] year of bread and [A] rice. For a family.
[D] I don't want to sing tonight.
While there's [A] war in the middle east.
Take the head of a man who shaves.
Not [D] God but man is a beast.
And who can say that he's better than you?
And [A] they're no better than me.
Still a man is judged but his wealth and skin.
Set those slave folks [D] free.
(CHORUS)
[D] So, I'm not going to sing tonight.
While the [A] crazies rule the world.
Send their armies out to die.
For the [D] glory they don't deserve.
Hey there Bill.
After switching off my tablet this morning I had a small epiphany in the guise of the completion of the second verse, I don't know how you want the song to go but hows does this fit for you?
Well, I gotta get a life.
To stop me staying in at night.
And I've got to get a job.
To pay off all the bills I've got.
Got to get it (boom, boom) Wont quit it (boom, boom)
My new life. (or job? works either way)
I'm glad to hear you're still alive and kicking...lol
I got a kind of "see you later alligator" rhythm and tune basically. It'll make a fine rocker when it's done.
Can't help with your other problem except shave all your body hair and wash with tea tree oil....it might work?
Love to Dondra
sorry to burst your bubble guys but the original post is dated 2009. Wlbaye last visited in january 2016 so i don't know if he's looked at your replies especially the latest ones. it would be interesting to know if you related to him made contact?
kind of song where you turn the lights down, put your arm around your lady while sitting beside the fire chilling out after a long day. in other words; you nailed it. (hope that means the same over the pond?)
Kudos Grah, great job my man. You do realise you've opened a bag of worms here...right? I have to say, about the comments not the song as that's brilliant, not all politicians are scum sucking pond life! I've got a young guy next door who is passionate about politics and works hard to get things done for our deserving community. He's just managed to get his foot on the first rung of the political ladder as a local councilor and I hope he makes it to the top.
I'm not sure if our friends over the pond get the full picture on BREXIT, though I suspect they get more of the facts than us. I do have this suspicion that leaders desire to get their name into the history books which is why we had the Falklands war...needless loss of life to boost Thatchers ego. I won't even go into the Middle East conflicts from either side. It seems likely that Trump will kick off the next one with "little Kimmie". Time to clean out the bomb shelters?
Sorry, about my rant, my soapbox is firmly stowed away.
Great song Grah, here's hoping the voice returns soon. Word of advice, don't push too hard too soon.
Phill
Edited to correct know all tablet.
Sweet and sour!
You always hit the nail on the head, great words great story. I'm running out of superlatives to describe your work!
You've made a rod for your own back my old friend, I don't think you actually try to do better than the last it just comes naturally. Well done.
Crackerjack Peatle. You know how to express your thoughts into vivid and explicit writing. I think it's the mark of a good writer if they can put themselves into their characters position. Well done.
Rog, I just followed the link and got steel men!
Nice collection. How do you decide which one you want to play?
