hi grah, i was going to make a joke about e-bay, but i know how selling your gear off is akin to selling your kids into slave labour. my wife keeps on at me to sell my old stuff eg; mixers, amps, guitars, mics, 8 track digi recorder, keyboards etc, but it's just too painful. i've even got a windows 95 PC in the attic...i know i'm just a sad old fart.
just a thought; seeing as you're planning to get a bigger place, you could leave bits and pieces at friends homes until you've moved?
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.
yes, after much procrastinating i've bit the bullet and bought a new mic which is a dedicated recording mic, for me anyway.
russ posted some time ago that he had done something similar but with all the trimmings. mine came with a sock, one of those springy things that avoid vibration and a lead with a cannon plug one side and a mini stereo jack on t'uther...so annoying. and as it's a condenser it needs phantom power, which is no problem, but before i go into full swing could anyone tell me if it will affect my mixer in any way? also, do i need to turn off phantom to record guitar/keyboards etc?
you help will be greatly appreciated.
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...
Walking around the supermarket.
Before you head out to the checkout of life.
Deciding what's good what's right.
Knowing what the price is.
Little voices
Yelling at you now is only once.
Now is only once.
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.

Oh my ... what a nightmare; so very, very tragic for the lady who was the victim.
yes it was very tragic for her and her family. i have to say though, i breathed a sigh of relief when i heard, an all round bad man, favourite trick....glassing people in the pub
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.
Ditto. I haven't played with a band for a lot longer than that and would love to get back to basics....and make some LOUD NOISE
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.
Isn't it great how a single line can give genesis to such great work ... nicely done. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken (hyuk).
i loved that....really made me laugh 
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. 
Sounds like you're in deep shtuke there buddy. Yes we'd all like to live in the sun but it makes you wonder if it's worth all the hassle and cash. Does this mean we will have the benefit of your company? Sorry you're having all this hassle. Turn it into a plus and make a song from it. Use plenty of expletives.

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.
phill
ooops! thought it wasn't there just went back and found it.
i like the words and the story. thanks for sharing.

I've always said you were the champion of the great chorus but now I see you're top man with verses too.
when i heard the news all i could say was...oh no! i wasn't even aware that he had health problems and the band was still touring and getting on well, i'm so sad.
must say i've had wet eyes twice today;
1. when i heard the sad news about glenn frey
2. when i watched the documentary about that other great glen, mr campbell.
both of these great men were of my generation along with bowie. i'm scared to know who's next. all my hero's are falling.
RIP Glenn Frey
this'll make a great song, may i add my congrats too. i'm catching you up with only 35 years this may, but i feel the same about my ann. love the sentiment and the way you've put the whole thing together.
on behalf of the group and myself....i hope we passed the audition?
thanks to everyone for the great comments. it's a very mediocre song without jims video which really brings the whole thing to life. big thanks to jim and hope the new addition to your family is settling in and the parents are getting some sleep?
I've read and accept all your replies to my rant. It's not you guys that worry me, it's the ones that are not as responsible. I would dearly love to meet you colonials and I hope if I ever came face to face with one of your hairy creatures perambulating down main Street, that I could run fast enough to avoid it's Sunday roast😂
When I read the early posts I was shocked at the light hearted way you guys joked about buying guns at the airport car park! Then selling them at MacDonald's? The thought of people leaving high powered weapons in the boot, sorry trunk of their cars where junkies or bad people could break in and steal them is unthinkable.
I hope that one day I can get to meet you folks but please don't bring your oozies with you.
having read the post above i have come to the conclusion that i will never visit some very good friends (mainly chordians) in the US. the UK isn't that safe but the way you talk so openly about implements designed specifically for killing actually frightens me, and any sane person reading this thread would feel the same.
FYI the laws regarding what you can carry onto airplanes is there for a reason....to stop hijackers, or just lunatics who want to cause death and destruction! whoever said the arms race is over?
i was 17 going on 18 still trying to lose my....you know what..... so i was a late starter! i hadn't yet met my first wife, so it wasn't all bad. and i was enthralled by the bands playing at my local dance hall which made me want to be a performer even more. as far as david bowie is concerned, i mourn his passing but not as much as i did john lennon. i don't believe he's marmite....(you love him or hate him) i just found i loved some of his songs and hated others, especially when he tried to be too arty farty.
thanks for the heads up TF...i'm in
to be honest i'm always hoping someone might find one of my songs and ask for more. i've given up hoping simon cowel might discover me 
my first view of the vid.....just blew me away too. i didn't think you'd have time to make it yet, but you have done such a professional job with it....i'm speechless. thank you jim.
welcome surya, please take heed of the welcome from doug, which after reading it i'd like to see on the sign-up page when new members join this happy band of wandering minstrels.

hi mazzy, you have a beautiful, clear voice and this song is well written and performed. i love it.
