Clever lyrics Jim but I also suspect for some unfortunate children and their parents it is also a tough time of year,

Re: Put On Your Crown (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thank you Piri I don't think the world is ready for my terrible voice and guitar playing. My songs are received a bit like Father McKenzie sermons in the church where Elenor Rigby goes. I use to think the cat when I was singing or playing my guitar or piano was meowing along with me until it occurred to me he was frantically signaling me as he wanted me to open the door and let him out. My goal here this time is hopefully to encourage people to come out of the woodwork and give songwriting a shot. So what I'm saying to anyone reading this is it wouldn't take much for someone to put up a better song than mine. This planet is covered with millions of people there has got to be plenty of those hiding their talents away who want to give music a shot. All it takes is hitting the record button on your phone no need for fancy tech and then putting it on youtube or some other place and of course as well providing a link to it on chordie.

Topic: Put On Your Crown (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)

Re: Yep, I almost forgot! (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Good to see you back here on Chordie Beamer your an interesting character glad to see your found a good lady to have adventures with. Thanks to Easybeat he has kept me up to date with chordie as I haven't been on here often as I don't really have much or anything to offer. When I do look in from time to time nobody is posting. You certainly have embraced technology and taken your music to another level. Though I'm not very tech I can see the appeal of using those tools. I am one of those strange people who still reads books and hardly watches TV some say I'm living on another planet or am stuck in an era that is gone. Anyway, great to see you on here and I have also followed yours and Jets plus Zurf exploits from time to time on the Facebook. Rock on brother.

Re: Probably No One Here Now Would Remember Who I Am... (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Bill wonderful to see you back on chordie. I have always enjoyed your wise outlook on life and thoughts about music with the added bonus of reading those interesting stories from your life. I was sorry to hear of Dondra passing. You have had more than your fair share of battles but I am also sure you are just like David who overcame Goliath with your bravery you will overcome all the things that dare to challenge or are stupid enough to think they can defeat you. My brother in music your a champion.

Re: Bullet Sin (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Good tune - I understand your sentiment, but disagree with the line "firing a bullet is a sin", as my brother has a farm in the rural areas; sometimes a shot gets fired to scare the foxes away ... anyway, dropped you a like on YouTube!
Cheers
Richard
Richard you have lost me there. My song has nothing to do with shooting animals or owning a gun it is about people shooting people in anger. Aside from that thank you for taking time to have a listen.

Re: Two guitars and a cello players all singing. (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Cheers Piri the problem with mainstream radio is the gatekeepers who control what gets played and what doesn't. Programme directors and radio promoters have nowadays been corrupted by some unknown thing that stifles new and exciting and old and exciting taking away a chance to be heard. Those with the big money set trends and its not exciting or a good thing for music I think. Powerful corporations make it all bland to me.

Re: Two guitars and a cello players all singing. (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Thank you Piri and Jim for your feedback. I will attach another great tune here which uses a dobro and a guitar plus an upright bass with good bit of drumming with an effective driving beat and a raunchy vocal. I love the clever lyrics on this one also.
