hi

i've been suffering since christmas with this voice loss thing, but once i start to sing at my gigs it seems to disappear...? strange huh?

my agent who is also an artist, has had this infection since before that, she sounds as if she has a heavy cold [i've only spoken to her over the phone just in case!!!]

i've heard a lot recently about fruit having a natural antibiotic, which might explain why i don't suffer a lot with colds, flu etc. try it...an apple a day and all that, and a banana an orange a kiwi fruit...you get my drift?

Hi guys,

thanks for the replies

Hi Ken,

yes I've always found that, I can't make much sense of what people write till I've heard it sung then it falls into place.

Hi Alan,

shall I send you some panadol? I find it helps...lol, it's funny how songs dictate how they want to be performed, when I started to write this it was a ballad!

Hello Kenny,

to be able to sing like that...indeed, I haven't been able to talk for the last couple-a-days!

The ancient Egyptians wrote in rock which is why we can still read what they had to say..ROCK ON

this is a throw back to my heavy rock days...long, long ago.

hi alan,

when i listened to your recordings, this is the one i liked best, maybe because of the song or because the subject interested me?
i like story songs and this is so descriptive and somehow manages to take you there...i like that too!
a very tenderly written lament

alan,  beauty is skin deep my friend, what i see is the poet within, and the concern for your family and your friends is what makes the beauty and the words you utter and write.

keep the peace

hi alan,

nice songs nicely recorded, i had a quick listen to all of your songs while i was there, they would sound great played by a group of some kind. try the recording section, there have been many collaborations and i'm sure they'd be happy to help.

phill

thank you all for your thanks and support, i've only just become a moderator and i didnt want to say anything until it was confirmed, so yes i am so delighted!

by-the-by gitaardocphil, we're not all from the usa, i live just accross the channel from you and right a bit in wales. where i work i meet many belgian lorry drivers, so say hello for me.

and i also agree that roger is a very supportive and helpful friend to have..thanks again

nos da, a ddiolch

phill

what a delightful song, well recorded too, and i could feel the emotion in the singing, just lovely, if you dont mind i'd like to go back and listen to the other songs when i have more time.

well done and thank you

phill

hello helena,

i stopped in at the song forum first tonight and so i wasnt aware of your bitter/sweet poem until now. how tender, loving and condemning it is, and how fluent your writing. these must be hard days in ireland, with some misguided fools wanting to restart the troubles! why can't they be glad of what little peace we have, it may end very soon as this recession deepens. let's hope someone has the common sense and ability to put the world back right before the whole world goes crazy as happened in 1914!

thank you for your insight and beautifully crafted words
