Hi Mike,

I followed your URL but found "Paradise" there. As I only listened to half the song you could say I have been "Halfway To Paradise" (sorry, before your time, a 1963 Billy Fury song).

Found it! This is the correct URL:

Hi Alex,

You can add me to the list of people who like you latest offering, another good one. I did a 'badeye' and had fun playing along with it.  The recording was better this time too.

Keep them coming,

Roger

Hi Mark,

What I heard certainly was not tuneless warblings and demented strumming. Well done you perform very well, it is a great song.

Roger

Hi James,

After listening to "Happy Cute" I replayed the copy I have of "On A Day Like This" and the recording is so much better. You seem more at ease and less mike shy now, it can only get better.

The tone of your instrument comes over richer in fact I can how hear that it is not a guitar you are playing. Having never heard and autoharp before I am very impressed with it and I am going to try to see if I get my hands on one to try. Unfortunately music shops are few and far between here so I might have no luck.

I enjoyed your song and played and sang along with the recording and it was more upbeat than I expected - I liked it.

I agree with Jeff about the recording. If you can sing to the pre-recorded music it is easier which is why I write a backing track for the songs I am commenting on.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Donna,

My French is worse than my Poruguese and even that is awful. However I have given it a bash and, although I am sure any French person would have cringed at my pronunciation, I was on my own and I enjoyed myself.

Although unorthodox, I understood your chording, and I agree with Jeff that the result is haunting.

I shall look forward to hearing you sing it on MySpace sometime.

Thank you and well done.

Roger

Hi Jeff,

Another fine offering from you, I echo the sentiment of your song whole heartedly and I enjoyed singing it.

Roger

Thank you for that Steve,

I have just made you and Lynn into a trio by playing and singing along with you both on YouTube, it was fun. I must try that again more often.

Roger

Hi Steve,

I just gave "Gravel and Spit" a thrash and a bash and liked it. I did however add a quick C at the end of each verse and chorus to break the long G and it worked for the way I sang it but it may be completely at odds with way you perform it.

Thank you,

Roger

Hello kaybassette,

Welcome to Chordie. I will try to answer your query as best I can.

Private messages are just that, messages between two people that they want to keep to themselves. I use alot of private messages to send personal information to others or to pass a comment that might cause embarressment if made public. Several members have privately sent me songs and recordings of them performing their songs that are not yet ready to make public and so it is a very handy tool to have.

The open forum is for public messages that everyone can see and comment on.

I hope I have answered your query but if I missunderstood, or you need further clarification please post again.

Hello dj,

Welcome to the songwriting section as this is your first posting down here. I am sure that Ken welcomes your opinion of his work as well as everyone else's.

I am however a little surprised to note that your comments are completely different to all the others. The one thing that is a little different down here though, is that everyone else who has commented has written and performed their own songs, so their qualifications for comment are know. Yours are not, but as you appear to know so much and have studied songwriting perhaps you can show us how it should be done by posting one of yours for us to peruse. As you also come from a family of famous performers you will have no trouble in recording it so we can hear how it really should be.

To assist, I am offering to edit your song to chopro format to make it appear 'nice and purdy' when you post it (that is, if you do not know how to do so yourself). All I would ask is that you write the lyrics with the chords in the correct place and surrounded by square bracket like so: [C] [Am] [F] [G]. If you do not have anywhere your upload your song I can easily put it on Friends of Chordie for you for everyone to enjoy if you send me a recording of it.

I am sending you my personal e-mail address by private message.

Roger

Hi Jeff,

I also liked your song.

I got fed up with having to be continually security conscious and having neighbours I did not know in Nottingham (UK). Here in Porugal I have three close neighbours who are now all friends, we share troubles and joys and never lock our caravans or vehicles. It is great!!
