Hey Gtx and Lowell.howard! Welcome to Chordie! cool

Where you guys from? What music d'ya like? How long ya bin playin'?

Questions, questions!?

Ha Kenny soaz! cool

Crafter make excellent entry to upper middle level guitars up to about the £750 mark (maybe more). They have got the rep that Yamaha guitars had in the 70s and 80s - good, well made guitars at an affordable price (anyone still got a solid top Yam over 15 years old? How's it sound? cool )

Are Crafter guitars available in your country?

Here's an example

Hey Dfoskey, Phill and Kap54!

Thanks for the amazing comments guys!

The Bully in question when this was written was a mish mosh of different people and events, but there is one person whom I have named "Fauntleroy" (they wouldn't know it's them from that) who has been making life 'difficult.' You would think that for most people that have a gripe with someone, whether real or imagined (as in this case) would hold short of throwing rocks at disabled* people's backs, but those born into privilage sometimes feel that they are above everyone elses moral codes. It's a difficult situation and he's garnered lots of support in the village, but I'm pleased to say that there are now those within the crowd who know the truth and are not happy!

I got told a good one by an ex many years ago; she said "He's lower than the sand that shark sh.. sleeps on!"

Check out:

http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12620

which was written because of what's going on!

Thanks again for all your kind words and support!

* Edit: I should add that I have been eligible for full disability privilages including blue car sign, full disability living allowance, mobility allowance, etc, etc, etc for at least 9 years, I do not nor have I ever claimed any of it. If I claimed that I would have to accept that I was disabled - if that makes sense.

Hey Topdown!

I hope your friend's innocence, if it is, as you suspect, real, it becomes proved and his release is secured!

You can't compensate for taking 16 years of someone's life from them, but if you could, what would be fair? If it was 10 million per year of imprisonment maybe a system that allows a poor innocent person to go to prison and a rich guilty person to retain their freedom would be revamped. If payments were such that it was economically untennable to convict an innocent person, would that scenario occur?

Hey Kap54!

You're welcome! Glad you like! cool

Have done (Wilco'd)! cool

Gonna have to look into sending Daddy cool that E-mail Chuckle, but wilco! smile

Kap54 suggested I post these here for those who haven't heard of Martin Simpson.

Great guitarist, good singer!

If you've got a choice of seeing him live or buying Prodigal Son, go see him live!

If there is no chance of seeing him live buy Prodigal Son!

From that album: Louisiana 1927

I don't think this will ever be a song. And it's quite fitting I should drag this out with what's going on at the mo'. Written in September'06.




BULLY!


I gave you respect, you were happy to take it.
I gave you my best, you didn't appreciate it.
I cleaned the floor, you pointed out the dirty tile.
I looked out for your interests, you gave a sneer, not a smile.

And what would you do,
If I pointed this out to you?
I'd run the risk of getting hit,
So I'd unhappily accept it.

And if I left a light on you would shout at me
For wasting electricity
But every day I'd see
That you had left on three
And were playing on the computer while an empty room was being entertained by an overload T.V!



And still I'd smile for you,

And ask what I could do,

And disregarding all your screams
That I do nothing,

Retreat inside my dreams.


I'd tell you what I'd done - you'd say "don't shout about it!"
I'd do it and say nothing - you'd say I "don't do sh..!"
I didn't complain, you'd think everything was alright!
If I politely tried to eplain you'd say I was "starting a fight!"





If you get what you deserve,

Explain my quiet reserve?!

Everything bad you see in me

Is your reflection divided by three.



In truth there's nothing I could ever do

That could make me a better person than you!

Well, StranSongs, they published! It's out today.

I'm quite cross that your name appears in the body of writing and mine in bold black as if I was the author of the whole thing.

Please E-mail me your address, etc, and I will post a copy to you (including what I sent the Journal!)

YOU ARE IN PRINT! A PUBLISHED WRITER!

Sorry I couldn't read all of your post Zurf - the only reason I am here, alive and able to write this is that I fought the NHS tooth and nail, so many mis-diagnoses, mistreatments and scars - internal and external - and conditions that I didn't have when 'treatment' started that I will probably have for life!!!

I'm the wrong person to have begun reading your post. Sorry!

Hey Mrbadexample.

Most of us could only hope to leave behind the catalogue of work that Willy DeVille has - 16 albums!

I'd never heard of him before your post. Thank you for sharing this.

Hey Tine! cool

Excellent piece! Love the imagery of the second verse! The whole thing intricately woven and skillfully crafted!

I'm sorry I don't know your writings, I'm new to the Poetry section. If your other writings are of this standard, I'd love to read some more; maybe you could point me to some?

A great piece! Thank you for sharing Tine! cool
