Hi Rooster3,

From an Old Doll,   " those words are beautiful "  I have read your words over and over.   I had tears in my eyes at

your understanding of where this lady is coming from ! I don't need to know what age you are , but to me they are

wise words.. "The wisdom of an old soul.." I would buy this song if and when released.  Have you written any more

songs ?.

Hi AlecinOz

I really dont have a problem with E or Am. Its the frustrating transition of getting to the bm or Fm7, from the simple

chords.    { Which i have to admit where not so simple when i started }

I was never a quitter,  Tried  Playing  "House Of the Rising Sun " as you suggested,  get to the F and

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,  " I  want  to drink a whole bottle of White  Rum  without the Mixer ".

I will just have to keep trying !!.

Slan and Cheers, without the Rum !

Hi upyerkiilt.
Every year I go to the  { Fiddlers Green Festival } in County Down. Northern Ireland.

Just one big jammin session..The Bodhran is  a powerful instrument, It has such an ancient feel it goes right to the core of ones being.   Add a set of spoons , One super Banjo player from Galway and County Down, An Accordian, Guitars , fiddle players and Whistles.  I have even seen a guy playing and keeping time with a coin and a pint glass ?  Brilliant Atmosphere.   " Yes music is Gods way of teaching us how to pray  and enjoy life!".

Hi Badeye

I went on the Magical Mystery Tour some years ago in Liverpool.

It was Magic, sad, and happy all rolled into one..   I sat in Penny Lane in the spot where the song was written!
evert thing mentioned in the song is all around you...  Same with Strawberry Fields.  The tour ends in the Cavern Club.  I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic Day.    Hope you get to go their sometime !

Hi bootleger,


I forgot to tell you ,"i was never in a rock band ".But I was a lead singer in a folk group, late sixties,and seventies. Maybe that makes the Difference?.

Just an afterthought!!

Hi Bootleger,

this may not be what your asking ? But this is how I feel about same.


First of all, why make them a trio ? Sex on its own {with the right person } is Orgasmic.. and lasting.   One night Stand sex, Is a moments rush and soon forgotten, no lasting high, just a blip in ones life!

Our love of Music  Both playing and listening too can be orgasmic. It makes us feel great and takes us back to times  and places, with great emotion. So good, you remember who was their and even what they were wearing. Play a piece of music, think about it, and what memories come up?

I only have to hear the intro to "Shape Of My Heart"  {Back Street Boys}  and the emotion trancends  me to another time and place!

The 1st and 2nd take us to a Natural High.



Now add drugs to the same scenario.  To me they interfer to much with the bodies mechanism, maybe create a high, but not a natural one... they Blur our vision, deplete us of real raw emotion.. "The day i dont feel my pain will be a worrying one for me!". If a red light came on in your car, you would take it to a machanic, to see whats causing it?. We on the other hand ignore our red lights!!


We have lost many great musicians, because of same, Phil Lynott was brillant,played in our local clubs.. He was mesmerising to watch and listen too. The natural high was'nt enough It seems, he added drugs and died a young Man.


There is a place for drugs in our world, just dont mix them " Get High On LIfe ".. Keep them separate.  I Dont want to sound all holier then thou, Been their done that and will never wear the tee shirt again !!  As the song says

"I Hope You Dance "

This question may seem so stupid,It could bring Chordie to a groaning halt!

I Took some time out south of the tension line to go fishing this week. Its very ofton a thought provokeing experience.!

I was blessed with long natural nails all my life, cutting them to play guitar took some time to get used too. I hated the feeling of having no nails, but my love of guitar over ruled .. How did Dolly Parton And her lady guitar playing friends play with such long nails?, even if they were acrilics ?.


  "OH vanity would i offend thee "


PS. the fishing was great.

Hi Docphil

In my humble opinion there are 2 very strong  emotions 

Love and Fear ! The latter it seems is the one we focus on more..

Our Fears Produce to much adrenalin in the body.. To much over long periods of time , gives us physical symptoms, which frighten us. I feel its at this point people turn to drugs drink, or whatever to rid themselves of the problem... this may sound to simple, but the body is doing exactly as it should do.!  There is no mystery to this, we send the messages to our brains. { Sick thoughts = Sick Bodies }  We on the other hand refuse to listen to messages our brains send us. and so it goes on. The never ending spiral of Fear Flight or fight Syndrome.

Some of us have to go there to find OURSELVES..
