so many of the members that were regular contributors when i joined (seems like years ago now) have fallen by the wayside. most just stopped posting for their own reasons, toots is the first i know of that have sadly passed on to a (hopefully) better place.

my condolences to his family and all the members that knew him in person and through chordie like me.

RIP TOOTS, you will live on through your posts and the music you made.

the title of your post enthralled me so i had to have a look....to be honest i thought it was the name of a band or a song title!

that rail trip sounds brill, must try it if i ever get to cross the pond.

that's another beauty my friend. to be honest it reads like a poem, more than that, a love poem, pity it didn't give you the nudge before valentines day, you'd have been on major brownie points. waiting for the recording, i'd love to hear this great tune you refer to, i'd rather listen to how you feel it than put my own musings to it. well done again.

thanks for the comments. when i read jims words i could see a potential. jim has a special way of writing, especially his choruses. all i did was take his song and added my.... whatever it's called? to it. i think we make a good partnership in this respect.
it's not actually in Dbm, it's still in E, but when i sing "change" it goes to Dbm to give the song an extra push. it would be easier to play in the key of C or G where you'd play Am or Em respectively ( for those still petitioning for the banning of B chords).... sorry couldn't resist that one.

well done jim you are blossoming as a song writer

i must be honest, i have not been much of a sure fan since one let me down mid way through a performance in front of a substantial audience! i use a beyer now which is good and clear for stage work.
i bought just this week a condenser mic from amazon cost me just £20 (add $10 for the exchange rate i'd expect) i just looked at the box but cant find a maker but when it sounds that good who cares? it comes with an XLR (female) to a stereo mini jack (male) it's quite heavy and seems sturdy for the price. check it out.

welcome to chordie

Thanks both, I shall now enjoy using the mic.

Thanks also for the info Doug, a cannon connector would go to a speaker. I'm not going to infer the age excuse this time, it was late when I posted and was tired. First time I tried it I couldn't get it to work cos I pushed the wrong button, which makes me a dick. Got it right eventually. This means I can now use my fender F90 and 12 er.
Thanks again.

hey pete, i posted on here a few days ago but it seems it hasn't taken or something....i guess it's the new format or something? thing is, i added some chords and a suggestion on how you might play it and the darn thing has left my mind completely! it's that age thing again...

Deciding what's good what's right.
Knowing what the price is.

i think i found that the rhythm suggested a 3/4 waltz time, and if you notice the changes i've made? it will make it easier to sing.

please don't think i'm bullying you into doing it "my way" i'm just offering a little help. if you like it please use it, if not scrap it, i'm no tim rice and i don't know everything.

good luck, like the theme and the way you've written it.

i play a peavy bandit which i've had years and years. i had the same or similar prob with noise, turned out to be the reverb knob. just turned it off....sorted.

it may not be the same problem. also check if the power lead has gone near the speaker or connecting leads.

Some say the first time is the hardest, but I think it's the second original post. Don't be daunted, we're a friendly bunch, join in and enjoy. Welcome to Chordie.

i thought it was something to do with the storms thats been blowing. still getting the punBB fault banner up. only getting in through the back door.

great story ed, ever thought of arranging it into song form? or maybe a sci-fi book of your own? by the way....i'm not joking, i'm a sci-fi fan and think it would make a great time warp story.... think about it.

I've always said you were the champion of the great chorus but now I see you're top man with verses too.
