I was really interested to see replies to my chesney post
Phill and Peatle joining the story and taking it somewhere else
and Jim adding his bit tying i all together.
i wrote it after hearing an interview with chesney who had a bit hit record
in his late teens and was washed up at 23.because of his love for music
he did bits and pieces to make a living.always playing music though.
he played in working bands for years and built up a small following
which turned into a modest living.looking back he said hes enjoying music more than
ever. 

interesting title Neo

Chesney
he told me it was amazing now
the way he`d turned it around
with that grit and courage
a true test of character
of dedication and resolve
he said it was amazing now
even better than before
for he had reached great heights
in his previous life
a crazy ride of success
a dream that had come true
but as with such great heights
came the inevitable fall
he said it was amazing now
even better than before

In the middle of the night
i hear it again
theres a barking dog
in our street
another night without sleep
got a short temper
because im so tired
got poor vision
from blurry eyes
could kill for a
good nights sleep
and i just might!
getting driven to despair
just about pulling out my hair
becoming a zombie
i dont care
sleep please
blissful sleep
uninterupted sleep
Zzzzzzzzzzzz

well that was a surprise.recently Phill and i (but mainly phill) did our version of an abbey rd type medley.
He used his skills to stitch together a bunch of our songs.
it was a very enjoyable process.

yeah lots of good points Phill,i guess this is where music was always heading.
with a little luck it may lead to more interest in live music.

the other day i watched an excellent interview of Shawn Lennon by Rick Beato.
i knew little of lennons music or him, apart from the obvious.
he had an interesting comment on Ai,which really got me thinking.So i decided to
try with an open mind to listen to some Ai music and try and  make a considered opinion
on its value.
conclusion
all of the music i usually listen to,i can most of the time identify who the artist is by their sound/style. etc.
it seems to me because Ai music is a combination of many millions of artists all mixed together, you
get a kinda soulless perfection, not an individual sound of an artist.
maybe its the future.im not sure.
what do you think? 

Neo
thats the one i enjoyed most off your cd.

unwelcome visitor

i have an unwelcome visitor
living in my house
i named him Fred
because i wished he where dead
i gave him a name
because i think he felt
he was one of the family
he `d been staying around
annoying me for so long
so today i`d had enough
D (ead) Day
i bought a can of fly spray
and chased and sprayed him all day
fred was fast and tricky
so i resorted to a fly swot
old fashion  but effective
one good swing
he met his end
now he`s just a stain on the glass
