Beautifully performed, such talent.
If I was to list all the songs I wish I had written...well I couldn't find a web page to take them all. Suffice to say just about every Beatles song, excluding a few songs on the white album. All songs by Yes, Supertramp, several by Genesis and Jethro Tull, but very few top ten songs from the 60's, 70's. Even less from then to now unless you count the Eagles. I couldn't name one song as it would change daily.
In different way Pedr? I can't imagine you as a rent boy!
My heart felt condolences for your loss.
Well done Richard hope it bumps up your CD sales.
Hi Dana. If you go to your song book, on the right hand side there are three choices for font size. on the other hand if you're using windows > left click and click on font size and you can re-size there. If you are down loading to office there will be a font re-size in one of the drop down menus. I hope this helps, it is easier than I've made it look.
Richard, after years of paying and being chaced by the tax man who seems determined to put me in the poor house (reference to the travelling wilburries) I think the few shilling made by selling a CD is not high on my bucket list. But I do hope when I slip off this mortal coil that someone will listen to my life's work and say...oh well!
Very good Jim. A tad long maybe at almost 6 minutes, but the melody and especially your words and phrasing are excellent.
My 12 string is actually an 11 string as each time I go to put a new string set on I break the high G string. It doesn't seem to make a lot of difference to the sound.
Well Jim my story goes back to 1965 when I was aged 14. My class mate had brought it into school on the previous Christmas and boy the girls were around him like bees around honey. I thought yep thats for me. I'd wanted a guitar since i'd seen Freddy and the Dreamers a few years before and only strengthened by the Beatles. So, one day he said I'm getting a new guitar do you want my old one...HELL YES! It cost 50pence or 10 shillings. I over tightened the strings and one day I got home to find it had folded like a book it had lasted about 2 weeks.
My gradmother took me to the local music shop and helped me buy a brand new guitar. Exactly the same only new. I just banged out a lot of noise for 2 years when I met my first ball and chain I decided it was time to get a decent guitar and learn to play it. I got one of those "tune in a day" books and taught myself chords. It was a year or so later I got an electric guitar, cheap and nasty. I wont bore you with my guitar history after that you'll be relieved to know.
You might have added verbal diarrhoea? Some folks you just can't shut up, present company excepted of course. I like the way you snuck Maree into your song...brownie points?
Hey Pedr. I was away, as you know when you posted these, so I missed them. But not now I'm seeing them, I find them entertaining, funny, disturbing and very interesting, well done my boy. How you come up with this stuff is beyond me. The hundred trillion cells led me to aplace I'd never thought existed, my own body! Genius, no other word for it.
You make me sound so intelligent, now that I'll have to look up...
unrequited love, me thinks? what time signature are you using, 4/4 or 3/4?
Hear, hear.
Brilliant voice. Brilliant playing. No amount of practice would make me play like her. She's fab. Thanks for the heads up Pedr
Yes I'm beginning to miss strummerboy Bill! Well I had a great Christmas and New year in Tenerife. Hope you had a good time too? I think everyone has migrated to Facebook or X or similar. As for spam, just like crime it never sleeps. There may be a song there Jim? Happy New year buddy
I'd like to wish all my Chordie friends a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I'm posting this now as Tenerife is calling where Ann, me and the family will be spending Christmas in the sunshine with plenty of liquid refreshment to celebrate. NADOLIG LLAWEN I POB UN
before backing tracks or digital recording I used to write my set lists down on a piece of paper or a book! then as I got into technology I used a lap top or an Ipod where I could move my set list as to how I judged the audience. if you want to create set lists where a backing track with words appear like a karaoke I'm afraid I cant help. hope you get from the more teckkie members what you are looking for.
after the first line the song goes where it will and it writes itself, sort of. here's a song I wrote this morning, not recorded yet. it's here because it mentions Christmas.
maybe inspired by Honky tonk women, I don't know.
no honky tonk bar.
Nice one Pedr. It inspired me to write this (which I haven't written yet) but here goes
Christmas lights
Shining bright
All along the street tonight
Though there's yet days to go
The kids excited cos they know
Santa's gonna bring them loads
It's sad that the meaning of it has all gone
An excuse to make, get drunk, have fun
I won't begrudge those revellers peace
It's times like these we need release
War abounds and poverty strikes
Will it end on that special night?
Not while the rich and powerful profit
Robin Hood in reverse, let's stop it
Enjoy the peace and love if you can
Forgive, embrace your fellow man
It's Christmas...that must mean something?
Thanks Grah I needed a laugh, was the main character Bojo cos it sounded like him, made as much sense too! lol
good question Brian, I've heard it said many times in films. Maybe it's the only holiday they get in the USA? I know they get lots less than us lucky Brits.
Jan mentioned I should include Hey Santa on FSOTM as it's a christmas song, I thought it was a boozers ode like Fairy Tale Of New York?

After Brian's challenge I'd like to submit "Hey Santa" which can be found in the song writing forum.
Thanks for reading and listening everyone. I didn't think it qualified for FSOTM? I'll do that. The words, having had a few days to go over it
, do make me quake. I'm hoping people take it on face value and not read into it what wasn't intended. Thanks again, and merry Christmas to you all.
This is my Christmas song for this year. It's quite short less than two and a half minutes. I hope you'll give it a listen and enjoy it, let me have your thoughts please. Link below
thanks to those that had a listen and commented.
i am encouraged.gonna bang out a few christmas songs now for CSoM
hopefully others will do a christmas song too HINT ! HINT!
i would love to add your christmas song to my christmas playlist
all complaints to Esybeat please. after reading your post (above) Brian, this came to me so I wrote it down and the tune and chords came almost imediately. Recording to follow.
it's called, Hey Santa, original or what?
