I have this latent tendency to over record my songs, and then I want everything forward in the mix, I like this bit bring that up, oh I like that bit make that louder, I cant hear the guitar...etc etc, any one else suffer with over packing?

hi buddrow

you obviously have been writing for some time, if not and this is your first attempt then very well done, even if you have many others you can be proud of this, it's very lyrical and tasteful, i get the feeling it's about ascending to heaven? now that's different

when i saw the title, i thought it said;"lovely brown ale" i thought i gorra see this one, i wasnt too disappointed that it wasnt about beer, i was thinking of a 20 year old version of you and your loved one, then i thought; whats wrong with gazing into your wifes eyes 20-30 years on holding hands etc, me and my wife still do, of course my love has blue eyes.

thanks for the lovely comments, as ark says it's now on my web page, sorry for the voice i've been working a lot over the last few weeks and i've got very hoarse [or is that horse?] or is it a frog in my throat...so let the frog sing... the old ones are the best

hi deadstring

i've been playing in public for 30 + years, [in pubs and clubs, i drink orange squash as i'm driving home], i never get nervous unless i'm playing with someone i'm not sure i can rely on.
as for fluffing your guitar parts we all do it, and the more you worry about it the more you'll do it.

as for playing in church; it's not that the congregation wont forgive you, it's the fact that they'll all be gossiping about you till they find someone else to gossip about...so why worry, be flavour of the month and enjoy the notoriety... 15 minutes of fame and all that! cool

lovely message jeff,

all us old married men can give a nod to this as you've spoken our thoughts, our greatest treasure being our other [and better] halves. looked on your web, and a bit disappointed that you haven't put this up yet, let us know when it is there?

hi apedoctor,

you been auditioning for x factor? this reads like a rejection on the faces of all those sad misbegotten souls who are humiliated by the judges and ultimately by themselves.

strange chord sequence, good for barre excersises but to know exactly how you meant it to sound you should put it onto your own myspace page. please do, and let us know when it's there

to eveyone

i've just listened to russ's tracks, and i can highly recommend them, they are very biblical, and deal with Jesus and his disciples so if your very anti Christian listen to the songs as songs not as holy music. i'm not that religious and i enjoyed them!

go to the website not the mediafire link below...enjoy

Hi Stonebridge,

I usually use my "pinky" for the high E, with my ring finger holding down the B string on the 3rd fret, especially on The Eagles "Take It Easy" sounds nice, I was shown it by a guy called John Rodge in Llanelli in 1968 who was showing me variations on certain chords, he tried to teach me to play properly but failed, I'm still crap, ask Russ Harding!
