Topic: Dreary singer songwriters (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yesterday afternoon I played at the Lancaster Beer festival ,in the evening I was invited to see a young band play a support slot for an "Up and coming " singer song writer who had just played the isle of white festival and been featured on BBC radio two .Well the lads were fantastic they ripped through a set of Stevie ray Vaughn songs self penned stuff in a similar style and had the crowd dancing in the isles .sadly it was too short and they made way for the headline act ,who I wont mention by name .
Well I dont know if its just me or if I have a different ear for music than the modern audience but I wouldn't have paid the guy in washers ,talk about dreary I nearly slit my wrists ,sure he had a decent voice but he was an engineers nightmare as he bobbed back and forth from the mic continually changing the tone from a deep bass to a squeak all due to the distance he was singing from the mic .He was a reasonable guitar player but no better than most on this forum .
Sorry for the rant but I'm at a loss to see the appeal of this dreary down beat music that a lot of the younger performers seem to be producing these days .After about 20 mins of this Pam and I discreetly left as he attempted three rounds with Simon and Garfunkles "The boxer" I think he probably went down in the forth ...lol
As I said I wont name names but if any ones really interested send me a PM for a clue.

Topic: Ed Sheeran plagiarism? (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I see on MSN today Ed Sheeran is getting sued for alleged plagiarism for his song Photograph . Its so difficult to come up with original rhythms ,phrases ,progressions etc .There are bound to be similarities in songs .Unless it is a direct copy word for word note for note ,what is the problem .How many blues songs use the same progression ,what about the rock and roll songs that use the blues progressions but faster Is this plagiarism .I think we have all been subject to plagiarism at some time or other be it in our daily work or hobbies etc I know I have .I'll not give specifics but back in the day when I raced slot cars I adapted an electronic principle to make a universal controller details of which were published in a hobby magazine some years later the same thing reappeared as a revolutionary idea by a certain manufacturer .Now I know I adapted the idea but I never claimed to invent it .I put it down to research turning up something .However and more to the point of blatant plagiarism, I submitted a script to a popular UK TV soap which was rejected but about six months down the line certain aspects of my script appeared in the program .I'm not in a position to fight a case in court as I cant afford to take on the big corporations nor can I prove that the similarities both in my invention or my script came about by plagiarism or chance .What I'm pointing out is what might at first glance may appear to be plagiarism may turn out to be chance ,after all imitation must be the sincerest form of flattery or there wouldn't be so many " tribute" acts about .

The cloak of invisibility
Em Am
People of a certain age

they tend to disappear
Em Am
as they walk along the street
D Em
there's many things they fear
chorus
C Em Am D~
What is there and what is not ,what is reality
Em Am D Em
you walk the streets unnoticed as you pass invisibly
Em Am
The young think you dont know a thing
D Em
its like you never lived
Em Am
all the things you learned in life
D Em
theres lots that you can give
chorus
C Em Am D~
What is there and what is not ,what is reality
Em Am D Em
you walk the streets unnoticed as you pass invisibly
bridge
C D Em
And all the time you wonder what's the point
C D Em
if no one listens to a word you say
C D Em
maybe you should keep it to your self
C D Em
maybe you should just fade away
Em-C Em-C
fade away fade away
Em Am
when your time is ended
D Em
and they put you in the ground
Em Am
the pages of the history books
D Em
your final words resound
chorus
C Em Am D~
What was there and what was not , what was reality
Em Am D Em
Maybe then they will see you as you pass invisibly
