Pretty little ballad well performed and written. Production wise I could hear rimshot drums, strings and a harmony vocal, obviously not too far forward as they would spoil the whistfull effect you've created.

Well done

just checked them out and i'm not surprised you only change them every 2 years, at £30 for 2 sets i'd want to get my money's worth too, quite apart from the fact that the wife would go bananas

OMG, neo. i don't change my strings often and i have 6 unopened packs in my drawer, but i couldn't abuse my beauties by nor restringing for 2 years, the sweaty fingers alone would make them black and toneless in 6 months! see, i told you i don't change them often.

Trevor, so sorry to hear of your troubles, the least of which is changing strings too often.   welcome to the forums, and i wish you many years of happiness with your new love.

Don't get me started on Maggot Scratcher. A multi millionaires that we had to pay bury. Hope she burns for eternity with several red hot pockets strategically placed

you sure he was english? could he be scottish? dunna matta anywee jimmie

my dad invented artificial insemination....straight up, no bull

It usually works the other way for me. I do mostly 60s and 70's covers, but I keep getting asked for songs by people I've never heard of! And as you say the aggressive little termites that want to take on the world after 2 pints and a couple of shots. Which is why I haven't taken on any shows this year and seriously considering retirement after 46 years. It's a wrench and makes me sad...but maybe it's time for me to become one of the pot bellied beer swilling critics that I've been entertaining all these years?

I've read his detailed replies and thought no more of them, no slight intended. They are always informative and entertaining. I would be glad to sign a petition for his exalted elevation.

thanks Bill. i can see you haven't been wasting your AWOL time from Chordie? another funny part is the passers by when they're playing on the streets...wondering what the dickens they are doing...ha, ha...love it.

Powerful words my friend. Pity we haven't heard from Kenny AKA kap54 for quite a while.
You have an excellent voice which I'd like to hear on a recording of this song.

Excellent first effort, it could almost be a song? Or maybe a lament! The powers that be would rather make money than save the world for our and their children's future....when will it end? Keep em coming.

Almost all the above.
My 15 year old grandson got a bass for Christmas all that mattered was it was black. I wasn't consulted! So I've given a few tips.
My 16 year old grandson wants to buy a guitar from his part time earnings and he has asked my advice. He obviously can't afford a name guitar and I've told him to check out music shops to see what looks, feels and sits nicely on his body
He's thinking about getting one from Amazon due to the price so he may go that way, I suppose he can always send it back if it's just a box!
My first few guitars were all cheapies, but they did the job even though I couldn't bend the strings or hold them down past the 8th frett.

I wish I felt the same way as you guys about guitars. To me a guitar is like a car....gets you from A to B. Don't get me wrong, I love most of my guitars, there's a certain black one that I panic bought...urgh! So it sits upstairs gathering dust. It looks pretty, but....

My Crafter I need for recording.
My Tanglewood for pleasure.
My Telecaster for stage and also recording.
My non-descript 12er also recording.
My Wilson bass...ditto
My 72 Strat comes out now and then for enjoyment along with my Fender F90 acoustic.

I have no plans to buy more, but never say never. I fancy a gold top LP but they're far too expensive.
As they say about alcohol; let's hope enough comes before falling over
