"The Man in the moon looks worried tonight"

How cool is this line. big_smile

I like how you've used the man in the moon looking down on us and that you want to put a smile on his face.
Good visuals in this.

Well Done Linusguitar,

Cheers smile

This is a snippet out of a paper in Newfoundland...30 million down the crapper...OUCH sad

St. John’s, N.L. — The Canadian Press
Published on Thursday, Jun. 03, 2010 2:09PM EDT

Last updated on Thursday, Jun. 03, 2010 6:09PM EDT


.Imagine the anguish: someone let a $30-million lottery win get away.

Shawn Noel's heart sank when, one by one, he checked the numbers on a rejected lottery ticket.

The Newfoundland shopkeeper was asked by officials at Atlantic Lottery Corp. late last month to retrieve one of the thousands of tickets that are rejected by patrons every month across Atlantic Canada.

Mr. Noel immediately recovered it and, with a lottery official at his side, compared the numbers on the voided ticket against those that would have captured the May 21 Lotto Max jackpot.

They matched perfectly, meaning an unlucky patron came within a hair's breadth of a $30-million windfall.

“I was kinda blown away,��  Mr. Noel, owner of The Corner Store in Goulds, N.L., said Thursday with a chuckle.

“Yep, it could have been $30-million. But anyway, that's it, that's all you can do.��

As the vendor, Mr. Noel would have been entitled to one per cent of the draw, or $300,000.

He explained that the unidentified person came into his convenience store and bakery on the day of the draw and asked for a ticket.

But the cashier printed off one worth about $27, much higher than the roughly $10 ticket the person wanted.

The clerk voided it and printed off another when the customer said they didn't want the first one.

It raises the question whether the potentially winning numbers could have been on the $10 ticket the customer had initially requested.

“It's possible, but not very likely,��  Mr. Noel said.

Goulds was once a separate town of about 12,000 but was amalgamated into St. John's in 1991. The voided ticket is the talk of the rural community as locals wonder who lost out on the $30-million win.

“I don't know if anybody knew the person, to tell you the truth, because nobody said any names,��  said Kim Reid, 40, who lives in the Goulds and tends bar at Brewskies, where talk about the ticket has been the buzz for more than a week. “For sure if they did, we would know by now.��

Hindsight is 20-20 and everyone is saying they would never have handed back the life-altering jackpot, Ms. Reid said, but it's possible the purchaser only had enough money for the lower-priced ticket.

“It's hard, I guess, you'd have to be in that situation, depending if you had the money on you or not, you know?��

Ms. Reid first heard about the fortune that got away last week from another bartender who happened to be in The Corner Store when Atlantic Lottery called with the news.

“Maybe they weren't meant to have it,��  she said of the near-miss millionaire. “Who's to say?��

Jennifer Dalton, a spokeswoman for the lottery corporation, said the clerk followed company procedures by voiding the ticket.

“When we found out about it, there was a little disappointment, for sure,��  Ms. Dalton said. “Having a $30-million jackpot winner here would have brought great things for us and it would have been really great for us to celebrate.��

She said there are 52,000 voided tickets every month in Atlantic Canada, but she didn't know of one with such a hefty prize.

Ms. Dalton said the loser, or almost-winner, could take another run at it this Friday when the jackpot will be $50-million.

Hi TIGLJK  Welcome to Chordie smile

Hopefully this lyric isn't too personal for you. Relationships ending bring out all types of emotions and you seem to have covered the hurting side pretty well.

Hope you have music and a web-site so we can have a listen smile

Kudos for your post,  Cheers

Dudes!!!!! big_smile

You guys are really doing some hot recording. I had a sneak listen at work through the cheesy work speakers and had to get home to hear this with the headphones...Much Gooder.

Russ, real nice work on the intro/outro harmonizing. Loved the guitar work  to-o-o-o smile

Phill, you know what I'm gonna say...Great vocals....don't know why I dig your vox but I do smile I'm guessing your the keyboard/rhythm guitar player/drums?
Hey...if there's a Chordie party don't forget about moi.

This is a really, really, really good story Jeff big_smile
Ya gotta put this to music, it's too good to let it get away on ya. I hear a haunting Bluegrass style with some spooking slide guitar as the main instrument, light banjo and stand up bass.

I'm getting chills just thinking about it. smile

Write on Bro

I keep forgetting about the poem section roll   Sorry.

Phill my friend, Your as good at penning a poem as you are writing a song/recording a song/singing a song. smile

Top marks for this write. I was seeing your main character in the setting with the Rusty Old Gate right off the hop and had to read on to know the rest of the story.
Love how you used the gate as a reference to life carrying on.

Kudos

Howdy Phill smile

Thanks my friend for the read and comments smile Should I ask the Misses where your "Chuckle Muscle "is? lol Now you got me laughing..Ha-ha-ha.
Big time thanks for the input on the bridge. I plan to (Yes I know...plan to) get into it shortly and this will be number two to do right after "No Answers". In my quest to get this done I'll be counting on your input as I like the idea of a musical bridge but at the same time I like the idea of the lyrics I got in store.
Actually this is a product of an over imagination probably due to time on my hands...OK maybe a touch of miss spent youth. lol

Thanks Again Me Friend


Cheers smile

Nice work on this stealstrings smile

Most times it's how you react to your reaction that counts. Well Done here. smile

Are you playing all the instruments here? and I'm curious about what you are recording with and was it hard to cypher out.

Hey I see you are in Chilliwack...Very Cool. My brother is in Abbottsford just a hop skip and stagger down the road. He's a family man now but into music when he can. His son is the drummer for a jazz band called Cinnamon Toast Funk Band. I don't know if you have heard them but they're really good. Check them out if you can. Here is their Myspace site.

Hope you don't mind me posting the link.

Anywho , I enjoyed my listen and I look forwards to hearing more from you. smile

A rookie cop is sitting outside a local bar waiting to bust an impaired driver.
After a short time he see's a man stagger out of the bar and stagger around the parking lot for at least 15 minutes before getting in his car and driving off. The cop all excited gives chase and pulls the fellow over 1 mile from the bar. The cop asked him if he has been drinking and the driver slurred "no ocifer I have'nt had a slingle drop" Not believing this at all the cop got him to blow into the breath-alizer where he was stunned to find the alcohol reading was zero.
How can this be the cop blurted!!! I watched you for 1/2 an hour staggering around the parking lot trying to find your car. That's easy said the driver...I'm the designated decoy. lol

I gotta try that some time lol
