Hi Grah.

Thanks for the listen. When I'm writing, I just put in what feels natural and goes well. The Bm gives a little change from the simple chords and melody line. I hope I've explained that right?

this is the link to the song. hope you enjoy it. I recorded it in one take; guitar, vocal and bass drum. Please tell me what you think.

Hi Beestie.

Sorry that I had to edit your poem. I'm sure we all sympathise with your position, but I'm afraid the wording is not acceptable. As has been pointed out there are younger people that frequent the site and we do not wish to give them a bad example.

Your poem is strong and heartfelt. I know you are angry, and rightly so. Please do not spoil things for yourself and others.

heads up guys, this post is from october last year, so rusty, john mr is an older hand than you but worry not it's a mistake we all do, but it's still nice to welcome newbies.

RIP George. FYI, he didn't promote just produce, and as the Beatles themselves would say he arranged and guided them into hits and standards.

Hi Curtis. I find your style of singing and the style of the song is quite "olde English" folk (not country or blues) yet your writing has a modern feel in the words of the story, but there's nothing wrong with that.

The only improvement I can see is recording with a band to get some bass and drums and maybe a harmony or two, having said that, it stands as a solo effort.

My voice is quite nasal I think and squeaky too, my answer is to get a good mic and mixer and a ton of effects!

as long as there are poor fools who are prepared to accept the crumbs from the rich man's table there will never be equality. and as long as some numpty puts up parking metres or puts down double yellow lines, there will never be true happiness for the humble motorist that may be needing a pee? or a dozen eggs?

Hi Luther.

Welcome to Chordie. There are a few niceties that we all must follow when posting a new poem for instance. Main one is that we DO NOT in any circumstance add our poem (regardless of how good it is) onto another member's thread, as you have done. But not to worry, we all make mistakes, you're not the first and you wont be the last, I've made them even the head honcho below god, Mr Guppy, has made a few. And so please, if you add more, and I hope you do and become one of the regular community, please start your own thread in that way you will get more attention to your work. I hope you have read and understood this and in the future start your own thread unless you have a comment to make on another topic.

You may have noticed that I moved your original post to it's own thread.

Ahhhh, but I love comfortably numb. I do Another Brick and I'd love to do some more...one day??????

I've always gone with "start with an easy one" just to settle any nerves. When I saw you were going to jam on the first song I was a little nervous for you, I try to avoid solos and such till I settle down. Still, glad you got through it unscathed and you're looking forward to doing it again....shame about the Sony, I would have taped the first gig just to see the weak points not for public display....unless it was really good, which is why you never see me live on you-tube 

i've got a night off tonight so i shall be hitting the wobbly pops and singing along with whoever is playing. have a good one grah and roger, wish i was closer to come see.

another cracker of a song. well sung and played with tons of emotion. i rate you brother
