`Finger to the knockers`

About my writing song
I`m taking a bit of flak
Some say ok
But others say they crap
So think i`ll stop writing
It`s knocked my con..fi..dence
writing songs   putting out there
Is like walking down main st. naked
a lot of laughing & pointing
particularly at the little bits

so i`ll stay with guitar
just stick to strum
then i won`t be naked
no one laughing at my bum

Gidday,

Went to a hollies concert last night.
They really turned it on,2 1/2 hrs of hits
They reworked some old stuff, and they where
the highlights for me.
and a fantastic version of that old chestnut `stewball`

Yeah, know what you mean.
it`s the same with musicians, lots of ego
but the good guys are humble they let
actions do the talking.

Gidday,
recently i received a recording from the brilliant Phill Williams
Great singer /guitarist/song writer.
He picked up on one of my song/poem added some chords
& sang it, sent me a copy.
i can`t even begin to explain how much this meant to me
hearing some of my stuff actually played & sung!
Many many thanks Phill.
I`m pretty useless at that stuff,so having written 90 songs
lately i can`t really sing them myself.

If any of u see just a tiny bit of something in any of my stuff
please give it a try. I`d love to hear the results.

thanks
very happy Brian ( thanks again Phill)

I can`t believe i wrote this RAP song? I hate rap!
As i was reading it back i was tapping my hand on the desk
& thought hey that works,so went back & hardened up the lyrics.

Good subject,i`m not a song writer,i just scribble stuff down.
Some times i call it a song sometimes a poem.
I don`t care what anyone thinks,i just need to get them out
of my head and written down some where.Hence i probably won`t get any good.
If someone likes it as is thats a bonus.
Funny thing though,i gave a song to a friend.She did it, really differently
to how i did it.At first i was flattered that someone wanted one of my
scribbles. Really loved what she did to it,but she added two lines,they
where rhyme lines.
I felt that changed the whole integrity,I`m still not sure how i feel now.

Gidday,

most ukes are pretty good,the cheaper ones tend to have cheap strings,
so best to replace them with good ones.
OR spend a bit more on a med price uke.
Also if you`re a beginner maybe get a concert or tenor size not a soprano.
get your self a tuner as well  they are cheap  no use playing an out of tune uke.
lets know how u get on?

A comment finally   many thanks Dino

Yeah i think u right.
i only spend 5 minutes writing a song
so plenty of room for improvements.
But what comes out, i don`t question it
just jot it down,& wait for the next one
to appear.

can`t sing so no video!

Thought some one ought to make the effort to comment!
I like your work keep it up,please keep them coming.
I recently wrote one called `Original ` it`s about the
lack of originality,lots of guitar players
& writers just repeating the same old stuff.
also put one here called `Think` which is similar thing.
Some bands have very original names it attracts me to give them a listen.
