Thanks Peatle, but I wasn't fishing for compliments just stating a fact. you only hear finished songs, not the raw bits that get edited out. You're a good friend and talented writer. I wish we could meet up one day and spend a bit of time chewing the fat and lubricating the larynx with some amber nectar?     

Medical science has proved that alcohol, smoking, greasy food, eating chocolate and taking too many pills cause all sorts of ailments including cancer and dementia! I'm surprised that sex and stepping in doggy deposits on the street haven't yet been blamed. The latest one here is car exhaust fumes. Makes me wonder what simple pleasure we can still enjoy they'll try and take from us next? Let's hope it's not playing music...?     

Firstly, open a new document in word. Next to the song you want to print out on Chordie or any other site. Highlight just the parts you want and click copy. Go back to your word page and click paste. You can then edit to suit yourself. It's easy once you've done it a couple of times.

I have to agree with Jim, well observed and written in an entertaining and truthful way. A close friend of mine who played cards every Thursday with the same school sat in the same seats died last year. Another guy, the first reserve, took over and voiced his trepidation sitting in a dead man's chair!
On other tables, like mine, we discuss politics especially Brexit but also lots of other topics. Btw, I'm about the youngest there!
I say again...great poem.     

I used my grandson as a simily, there is a new generation of musicians out there who should be encouraged not made to feel belittled by old hands squabbling over profanity. No one wants a load of spam popping up half way through reading the lyrics of a song...or do we?
As for banning members, did you inform the other mods to what you were doing?
On the other hand, people move on or pass on or have a grump with someone that was abusive or heavy handed.
It's not always an easy job.     

I have and use at gigs a Boss ME 50. I dream of an 80. At home for recording I use a Digitech RP55 and a Donner Alpha Cruncher also a V Tone BD1 21 for bass. I tend not to meddle too much with pre sets and it's usually wet or dry, except for live solos if I need distortion or boost.     

well done CG, it's good to see that some of our members are thinking about others no just themselves. Moody Blues...the softer end of the prog rock scene, which is not to detract from their ability or talent.     

i do try and do my moderating in early morning and if possible in the evenings, like now.  i don't post many of my new songs of late due to the lack of interest and only begin a new thread if i have something to say, but i am a boring person (apparently) so i don't have a lot to say anyway!
a lot of my time is taken up with this brexit nonsense. the whole of the UK is split. sorry....politics, no, no.

i would like to echo my condolences to our NZ friends and offer any support that they may feel i can help with. such an idiotic waste of life on a difference in the way people worship what we all recognise as one God just worshipped in their own ways. life is precious, taking a life is the one true sin.     

Hi Jeff. That is such an emotional song. Strong lyrics and clear sentiments. We all feel
anger and rage when events like 9/11 happen, I remember watching it live on TV, but as you say, you must redirect your anger and remember as my mother used to say "there's good and bad where ever you come from, whatever your colour, creed or religion" . Don't go destroying the hive because one bee stung you?
This is a great song as I'm sure the recording will be.     

Reminiscent of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull! Takes me back to one of the best nights I ever had, watching a folk group at our local YMCA (now closed) and a pal of mine guested, he sang Mr Tambourine Man...brill. and the stand out song was "Thrashing Machine". If you haven't heard it you should look it up!

Great job.     

Ray Davis of the Kinks once said he always wrote his songs on piano, something to do with "because I'm not very good at the piano". And I liked the synth drums!
