Heh - nice song, I was thinking about waking up my teenage son, but we were out late last night at a performance, and he came along to support me (and now it's a Sunday) - so happy to let him sleep in for a while ... in my head I'm hearing it with a jug blow, mouth harp and slide guitar, so I'll be interested to see how it sounds outside my head 
Cheers

Great bass line on this song, but I haven't heard it before ....
Cheers

I reckon this was one of the first Split Enz songs I ever heard, thanks for the memories!!
Cheers

Hi,
If you get the chance, write the words of the last verse down on here so I can have another listen.
I don't know what else to tell you, it was a story from long ago, we all survived, except the spider and a chain saw that was thrown. The chainsaw kinda stopped, I was glad for that feature, the spider was dead, she no longer moved, but her children came out alive ...
Thanks for listening in!! The recording was just on my phone, and my son took a few happy snaps as well.
Cheers
Richard
Great song, haven't heard this one for many years, but always a party starter in high school!!

Well, I entered this one last month, but this was a performance I did last Friday, with the complete3d third verse and some of the rough edges tidied up:

Georgia by Willie Nelson ... (not sure if it was originally by him?)

let me know what ya think please
I had a real quick listen to the first half, but being at work I can't crank the volume to hear it properly ... when I'm WFH tomorrow, I'll have a better listen ...

Hadn't heard this one, but we had the same situation in Australia - breaking out and writing your own songs was a rare thing, but became more common in the 70's and was somewhat of a norm by the 80's ...
Cheers
Richard
What a classic!! I must admit I thought they were an Aussie band, first saw them on CountDown ...

The best line was a woman newsperson who summed it up in a few words - Americans can now choose between "Vile and Senile" !

That was great (but I don't think Ford will be contacting you anytime to advertise their cars! )

I heard a quote on the SImpsons once - "Believe in yourself, and you can accomplish anything"; good on you for believing in yourself!!! I look forward to reading it someday ....

I might try and mix one of the other songs I did the same way ..
Here's another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gftKLtR7fQ

neophytte, that was great, really enjoyed it. Liked the lyrics, the way you sang in it, including the little speaking bit haha and of course guitar wise, it suited the song very much. Look forward to hearing the next verse. Maybe you could right more about your reaction in the 3rd verse or make up something that happened for a 3rd verse
Thanks - it took a bit of extra effort to set up, mix down, and do the video editing; but it does make it look a bit better. I might try and mix one of the other songs I did the same way ..
Cheers

I wrote this song last year which is somewhat comedic, based on a true imaginary story of a spider jumping on me:
I'm still missing a third verse, so suggestions are welcomed!
Cheers
Richard
Well I just returned to the USA from a fantastic visit to the UK.
Glad to hear you had a good time!!
Cheers
Richard
neo, that was awesome! I like what you have done with it, very effective.
Thanks!!
I always thought AC DCs you shook me should have been a comedy song , we always had a laugh playing it at parties .
I was looking up comedy songs and someone mentioned AC/DC, but they said Big Balls was their comedy number ...
Cheers
Richard
neophytte, that was well written, I liked the lyrics on this one. Can you share the lyrics and chords with us please? I would like to have a go at this one.
Hi Jan,
Sure, here it is https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=36356 - it also has one of the follow up songs "Suffering", which follows the same chord progression; there were two others that followed on, but I haven't posted or recorded them.
Just on note on the chords - I use the 'at' symbol to specify where on the fretboard it is meant to be played, so the Am@5 means to play the Am chord on the 5th fret - it gives it a different dynamic to playing in the 1st position (eg x 0 3 0 1 0 in the first position as opposed to 5 7 5 5 5 5 at the 5th position), but if you're going to play it on uke, it may be a moot point.
Cheers
Richard
Loved it , What was the guitar you were playing it looks a bit like a Kramer ,I couldn't make out the logo .
It's a Session guitar (which I still have and use as my "pickup test" guitar now); I've never been able to find much info about them on the web, but there was this snippet from this site:
Session were a brand in Australia by The Electric Factory in Melbourne Victoria …… the first and second runs were made in Japan and were of very good quality that stood up against Profiles and Daions , the third and fourth runs were made in Korea but weren’t quite the same ….. I believe they sold the brand name around 1995
I think mine was one of the early ones as it plays and feels very good - it was my main ax for a number of years!!
And the bass:
Cheers
Richard
