I understand that Jeff, I was asking if some of our other wordsmiths could offer some insights into this subject? I must say on another reading your imagery is fascinating and brings to light sights we take for granted and reminds me of a stroll I took with a young lady 50 or so years ago down, or up a beautiful privet hedged lane on a warm sunny summer's day, ah the innocence of youth! It would be nice to return to my teens but not that young lady.

Brilliant Jeff continuing the conspiracy theme. I found myself reading every word carefully yet eager to find the resolution at the end. It didn't disappoint. Well done, very lyrical and entertaining. I wonder if we'll get some more...I hope so.

Re: Covert messages on Chordie? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
You could be on to something here Graham, it could mean serious consequences and I've often wondered why people would post nonsense replies, unless as you say there is some coded message hidden so the authorities don't suspect? The moderators need to be more diligent and ban and remove these idiot posts ASAP.

We'll ignore that pre-spam above. Graham that may have been rubbish to you but the punters like what the punters like unfortunately.
Sounds like you had a great buzz going on. (That young lady preferred to look at herself than the band?) I wish I could have come to that party, maybe next year? LOL

Hi Graham. I'd love to see your vids but I won't join Facebook for many reasons, if you could post them on YouTube I'd be grateful.

Christine passed yesterday morning and I feel gutted for the loss of a great talent. She will be missed by her family, friends, her fans and the music industry as a whole.
Another name on that growing list of names on the great band in the sky.

Re: BUY AN ELECTRIC GUITAR FOR BEGINNER (14 replies, posted in Electric)
All theses guitars are good but it's no good saying "buy this one cos I got one and it's great/suits me." Go to a good reputable store and try as many as you like, find the one that suits you best and if you can get it cheaper on-line, tell them you'll think it over and come back while you buy it on-line.

You sing this song with a ton of attitude. Very enjoyable and great to hear you sing and play again, you got the uke/voice mix perfect. You may not believe this but I've only recently heard this song for the first time? Well done.

Solidarity my kiwi brothers. I haven't eaten NZ lamb for over 50 years. Nor Welsh lamb come to that, I just don't like lamb! Give me a good beef steak every time with chips and petit pois!

Re: Old Mc Ronald and the Beasts of the Fields (5 replies, posted in My local band and me)
that is so funny and so true. supermarkets are rationing eggs! milk prices are 50% more expensive than a year ago. and now chickens and turkeys are dying from bird flu.
there was an american on youtube yesterday complaining of having to pay $7 a GALLON for petrol (gas) while we pay £6 a litre and there's 5 litres to a gallon!
so thanks Graham for a little light hearted sarcasm on an otherwise depressing day.

Re: Xmas Carol (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Just got the chance to hear it. Big thumbs up my friend. Now here's a remedy that might help...
Pint of water
Tea spoon of salt
Teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
Teaspoon of sugar, don't worry you don't swallow it!
Gargle several times a day and suck a jakemans in-between.
I know you've said it's your lungs not your throat but give it a try. And rest your voice as much as you can.
Christ mass has very little to do with religion any more, it's all to do with the rich man's profits.

Re: RAIN (10 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
it's hard giving up something you love doing or even taking a back seat. i've been doing it for 50 years and i always said once i stop enjoying it i would stop. to be honest i haven't stopped enjoying it, but my knees just wont stand the 2-3 hours of standing then carrying the gear out; house to car, car to stage, stage to car, car to house. then there's the performing and the driving maybe not getting home till 3 o'clock.
i guess you have a pump to help clear you lungs? the punters just don't realise the stuff performers have to go through.

Re: RAIN (10 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Thanks Graham. I never thought of trying it in reggae style, may give it a go?
Sorry to hear about your voice is it an effect of COVID? If so it may come back in time. I noticed my live voice was very rough and unable to reach the high notes I used to after I had my second bout. Another reason to thank the Tories.

Re: Walking on Water Song I Wrote (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I know and understand the feeling Jim.
Try this for your bridge:
Em This water's D deep beneath my C feet Am
Em There's only D one inch of G ice A7
Em Together D we make this C heat D
C Together G we'll pay the A price D7
Just to break the chord sequence on the last line play C G D on the verses and maybe also on the chorus?
