the more you play your strings, the more sweat and dirt collects on them. eventually they lose tone and you cant slide up (or down) the strings so easily. as stated above, they may lose tune and eventually break, though even new strings can  break form over tuning or strumming too hard.

fact is; if you need to ask, then they need changing.

hi 3chord,

i play a lot of pubs and clubs locally and have done for around 30 years. i dont get nerves before or during a show, but when i'm getting close to the venue i tend to start to bust for a pee! embarassing huh?

on stage i just close my eyes and try to look and sound proffessional...now that's difficult

phill

hi jeff,

looking forward to the recording, this weekend you say?

nice write.

phill

hi tony,

i think your vocals are pretty good actually, pink floyd meets eric clapton. i wonder how it would sound if you re-recorded it now?

this argument will go on regardless of any concensus we may make here. i believe there is a new derivative called "skunk" which is addictive and causes agressive behavior.

we as musicians are all bundled into the same barrel...to the non artistic we are all drug users. i for one am not! they say the beatles were at their most inventive when "high" which makes me sad. i wonder how they managed after their flirtation with contraband ended?

i dont smoke, never have and believe that smoking ordinary or the suped-up stuff, is antisocial and dangerous! to the smoker and/or the inocent bystander.

my oldest son began smoking "weed" on a regular basis, and went totally off the rails. even now 10 years later, he cant maintain a relationship, he suspects his partners of playing around, he just loses his rag at the slightest thing and is very agressive yet so insecure unless he has a drink. now i believe he has a drink problem which has led to liver problems.

he has also experimented with other stuff, stopping short of heroin! he is clean now but the effects have remained.

my advice....stay well away.

the strongest drug i have tried is paracetamol, two at a time every 4 hours (as recomended) and then only till the headache passes.  i'm a good boy

i have not watched or been interested in this farce for many years, but i heard one important point on the devils radio today which is that the song that won it last year for germany, words by an american, music by a dutch person (i think)  and sung by a german girl (possibly!).

a previous spanish winner was called "y viva espana" which was neither written or sung by a spaniard. you'd think the basic rule would be to enter a song written and performed by nationals of the country entering it?

confused???

i think the new (or next) one is an American millionairess? could be wrong. from the photo's, she aint no 60 year old.

i notice roger hasnt replied yet....he must be celebrating!

lift one for me mate. i'll be thinking of you tonight while i'm slaving away in work....blub

just up-loaded this one on to Soundclick, hit the button at the bottom if you'd like to hear it. it took me ages to record as i couldnt get the drums right. so i settled for the robot who can do it much better...well keep in time at least!

phill

i will second that one, muchos happy returnos ROGER. have you got your bus pass yet?

phill

thanks steelstrings, your on chordie, help is always at hand...just ask

hi tony, agreed about my-space, i'll see if i've still got the password for soundclick as i've lost a lot of stuff. and i shall up-load there for the forseeable...hopefully.
glad you liked it, it is basically a three track recording... i did the vocal and guitar together, then bass and piano as an afterthought. i made the mistake of not putting a click track on, so i lost time here and there.
