Funny all I get are dirty looks! Two new basses and an amp? I'm so jealous.

Re: Rustler's Moon Tonight (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nice one Jeff, I could imagine the way it goes which is probably wrong so let's have the recording to see how far out I was?
This side of the pond we'd call it a smugglers moon as we had last night for Guy Fawks night, to be honest it was like being in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine bangs and flashes everywhere!
Looking forward to the recording.

Congratulations on your new arrival. I do not understand why makers don't set up guitars before despatching them? I hope you have many happy hours of disturbing the neibours as acoustic bass guitars are LOUD! Enjoy.

Re: It Takes a Lot to Love a Good Woman (Recording) (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
hI Jeff.
A hell of a cross section, blues format with a bit of rock & roll mixed into a country song? loved the hook "takes a lot to love a good woman but nothing to let her go" great piece of writing.

For some reason I'm having difficulty YouTube on my internet connection always seems to happen when it rains. I'll keep trying.

Re: Rain. (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Pedr, saddened to hear of your friends unfortunate and untimely passing. I'm sure they will live on in your memory.
Hi Jim, just waiting for the new month and deciding if the full works or the bare bones recording would be more acceptable?
Thanks Richard, I never thought of thunder fx just rain...we get plenty of that!
Thanks Jan. It's your invite and request for song to do with water got the juices flowing. Strange how it works sometimes?

Topic: Rain. (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Titled "Rain" probably the simplest song I've written in months. Not on soundcloud yet, I will inform when it's live.
Rain.Undefined
INTRO[C-G-Am-F]
[C] Rain. Running like a [C] waterfall.
[D] Tears of the [G7] angels.
Saddened by the [C] wicked wind.
[C] Floods.Flowing through my [C] broken heart.
[D] Water running [G7] cold.
Running through my [C] veins.
(CHORUS)
[Fm] And every time I [Am] call your name.
[Dm] The clouds grow darker [G7] overhead.
And then they start to [C] rain.
[C] Rivers. Flowing down my [C] window pane.
[D] Like tears on my [G7] face.
Drying in the [C] wind.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(RIFF PLAYED UNDER)
Rain, rain. Go away.
If you must come another day.
Take the clouds and leave the sun.
All the kids can have their fun.

Re: Times to Look Back On (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I don't know who said it but it's true...youth is wasted on the young. It'll be 42 years Ann and I have been together in May next year and that time has flown but I echo your sentiments, I can't imagine going on without her and she tells me the same. As we're both in our 70s now it's unlikely that either of us would actively look for a replacement. We argue but making up is just as good as it's always been. As I always say...if you don't have bad times how do you know when you're having good times?
I haven't listened to the recording yet but your words have great meaning for me. Brilliant

Re: Promised Land by MOJO played by me at Kendal festival (8 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Another great performance Graham. Shame about all the noise the punters are making. I wish I'd been able to video some of my live shows while I was still performing. The last show I did about a month ago I injured my left foot somehow and I could hardly walk for quite a while. I then had chest problems and to cap it all...crowned myself in Tesco, blood the full works. So it seems I've entered stage retirement at age 71. But I'm not selling my gear yet...you never know what's around the corner?

Re: the trap (10 replies, posted in Recording)
Thanks Jan, it took me quite a while to write, record then post it but it's a song about people's eccentricities which is why it got posted.
Thanks Grah. Yes it's the only double tracking on this song. It's funny sometimes I can do it other times I can't! I was thinking of adding strings but I'll probably leave it as is.

Re: If Only I Could. (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Pedr, you swine! You made me go back to the smell of new mown grass. The sound of tree branches and leaves in the wind as you sit in the tree tops. The smell of oil and unleaded petrol in a service station. Melting tar on a hot summers day. The shimmer of the sea as seen from the hill top on my way to the beach on a hot summers day, we sometimes get two hot sunny days! The sound of a quiet conversation in the doctors waiting room. And my favourite; bacon frying on the griddle while the scent of toothpaste still hangs in the air.
How I long for those innocent days of the nineteen fifties and sixties when you had to wait two weeks for your pictures from your brownie camera to be developed...well maybe not for that, or grainy black and white TV that finished at 9.30! Having to get up at 8 o'clock on a freezing cold morning to walk the long mile to school. Apart from that you poem is really good.
