hi shady,
glad you managed to get this song up...eventually, and it was well worth waiting for!
to be honest, i've heard of jim croce but i dont remember hearing any of his songs...sorry.
i do like this though, a kind of lament on a similar vein to american pie and i hope it sounds as good when you play it!
the traveling wilburys are one of my favourite bands which get a lot of plays on my car CD
let us hear more of your stuff...and see it

hi alan

nice words creating sensual worlds
phill
hi daddy
very topical my friend...cant believe those foolish people who set those fires
phill
Seems a bit too shady for my computer....?
This is a bit of a jokey type song I just finished writing, I actually know 2 guys in this type of abusive relationship where they get beaten up and ruled over by their girlfriends. I often see them come to work [or the pub] with cuts and bite marks...it's not just girls that get beaten up by violent partners, who tell them it's not their fault because they "love them so much" as I tell them; jealousy is not love, it's an excuse...
upyerkilt, "Love Grows" is an excellent song with a strong guitar riff. "Venus" is most likely the one in the Gillette ad?
To Ozymandias, I Googled mine, search for No 1's on this day
They didn't start the UK charts until 1953 ... so it was "I Believe" by Frankie Laine. in the US on my birthday which was July 30 1951, Rosemary Clooney's "Come on a ma House", can't place it, but I was a bit young then!

hi mrjay,
1st things first...dont panic!
i played with a band some time ago and i thought we were quite good, then this friend of one of the guys came up to sing, he was a pro and really hot. i expected to fall apart but he made us all raise our game, i've never felt so good playing. so dont fret, sit back and enjoy it...whats the worst that could happen? no ones going to beat you up are they? you may never get this chance again, so enjoy it.
phill
wow, remind me not to step on your corns alan!
nice one full of vengeance and spite...what a way to get revenge...yeah
phill
hi roger, yes she was and the roses i bought her, trouble is they were tulips! i've got to start wearing my glasses
phill
my wife and i have been together for nearly 30 years, i write a little verse every year, this is this years... use it if you like it
I have tried a hundred different ways
To say I love you; come what may
I cannot leave you, now I know
I know for sure I could not go
And if I went, I’d soon return
For by your side; I have learnt
Is the very place where I belong
My destination is where I was from
I may have tried a hundred ways
I may have looked a foolish waste
One thing I will surely do;
Is find my way back home to you
And just in-case you missed the message
I love you....true
my first guitar was a really crap one that broke in half after a week! then i bought another the same, i couldn't get the strings to the fretboard! then various non-descript boxes, til i became richer and got a strat [1972] and a fender f90 acoustic i still have both, a crafter cutaway semi and a cort electric for stage use, i also have a wilson bass and an unnamed 12 string...lots of noise in my house!
phill
i have so many favourite songs many of which have been named;
imagine, woman and how do you sleep..lennon
owner of a broken heart, the ladder, anything from "house of blues CD "...yes
anything from the beatles
anything from rumours by fleetwood mac
anything by queen specially scandal and these are the days of our lives
anything by jethro tull
another brick in the wall...pink floyd
anything by russel harding
may i make a little suggestion?
if worst comes to worst, and the speed bump [otherwise known this side of the pond as a sleeping policeman...aren't they all?] becomes an insurmountable mountain! couldn't we just post the songs on to a "my-space" type pay to listen website? the funds could be collected into a paypal account and distributed to the various charitable causes by mutual consent.
i'm trying....so my wife says, very trying!
phill
my mother used to sing me songs as a rule;
"tell me a story" or "chip chip my little horse" or "horsey horsey, dont you stop" etc i sang them to my kids and now to my grand children
i probably got my love of singing and music from my mother, cant blame my dad for that as he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, i got my love of DIY from him

The Puppy
By Phill Williams
I bought a little puppy
The neighbours have a cat
A nasty little feline
He scratched and bit and spat
He terrorised my little dog
He'd come home scratched and raw
He's been bitten on his nose and tail
Scratch marks on his paw
If critters have a mafia
This pussy was the don
He seems all nice and cuddly
Then strikes when you are gone
But puppies have this habit
They grow and find their feet
And nasty little pussy cats
Will feel their canine teeth
One day my puppy'd had enough
This cat had gone too far
He'd eaten all his puppy snacks
And messed up all his yard
The red mist had descended
He could not take much more
He picked the cat up by the scruff
And threw him out the door
His teeth were bared and snarling
His tail was standing straight
His ears were back
His growl was deep
The cat had met his fate
So now the little pussy cat
Wont come into my yard
His memory of that fate full day
On his mind indelibly marked
When he sees my little puppy
He crosses over the road
He'd rather risk the rush hour cars
Than mess with mighty Toto [the dog's name]
hi jeff
i get a lot of inspiration from "looking back" so there's nothing wrong in that...is there?
"memories good bad and down-trodden" sums it all up i think.
another good-un my friend keep them coming
phill
good ad for your local radio daddy, have you submitted it? you never know you might get a job as a jingle writer!
phill
thanks to all,
my father was in the Royal Navy during the 2nd world war and fortunately [for me at least] survived!
he was on destroyers, though this song is about the supply convoys from across the pond and how they were sunk by U boats...it must have been truly nightmarish. the "row boys just row" line is how i imagine the skipper would encourage his crew to survive, think about rowing and not dwell on the storm...etc
thanks again
phill
hi russ,
tis the way they come out my friend. this is part [hopefully the last part] of my latest work called "to avalon" which deals with wars and our service men, since arthur's time, a bit grand but there you go...
glad you liked it, i'm working on a country song at the moment before going to work for night shift, talk soon brother
phill
hi i've already up-loaded this to my space, hope you listen and enjoy it. i've tried to keep it in a folk style. i welcome any comments
phill
A song of sailors getting their ship torpedoed from under them.
hi kenny, very emotive mate, reminds me of my first wife, who spent all my wages and more each week before i could earn it!. my second wife ann, is so totally different now i'm almost rich in comparison!!!!
great song my friend and well constructed
talk soon
phill.
ps hows the new recorder going, anything up on my space yet? i'll check it out after finnishing here.
well i'm shocked, songs just come out as they are, if a beat seems right i just use it!
thanks for pointing that out.
we had a heavy snow fall last night, first big one in llanelli since about 1983, i remember as thats when my daughter was born! it's thawing out now, but it will stay cold for another few days at least.
good news about the chordie CD, but i was refering to your own CD, let me know about both, you know you will have my support and any help i can offer.
stay warm
phill
thanks russ and thanks for explaining 6/4, cant see me trying that for a while even though "take it to the limit" is a favourite of mine.
glad your happy with your sessions, cant wait to hear the result...keep me a copy of the CD i want it!!!
it's snowing here at the moment, so what's it like with you, hope it wont affect the sessions
