I agree with Russell here but I think if you are recording and making any money out of it, no matter how little a record company has the right to sue.
If the song is over 50 years old I dont think the record company can do anything. Best check on that first though if you plan to make money from selling cd's.

If it is just for a demo to hand out to get noticed then I cannot see how anyone can sue unless they get really pernickity and say your demos are making you get gigs and from the gigs you earn money because you handed out someone elses songs. hmmmmm,
If it was me, I would go for it and make them but then I like to differ from silly laws.
And with silly laws differing in different countries yet the whole world can hear the same thing it makes the silly laws even sillier.

roger waters.......probably in my top three of songwriters if not the best.

there are so many great songwriters it would be impossible to mention them all that I admire, even if I do not listen to their music.

and then it will come down to personal opinions. everyone knows Lennon / MCartney but not everyone likes them, so ye will get people saying they were overrated etc.

Oh yeah another one of my all time superb writers and will defintely be in my top 3 is
Pete Townshend

but then back to this Lennon/Macca thing, msot of the songs were written by Lennon but they were put down as the two of them, just like Richards/Jagger. they do not write every single song together but share the credit.

i think for music attmosphere and enjoyment the best ever gig I have attended has got to be stiff little finger for their 25th anniversary at barrowlands.

But close contenders would have to be ( as mentioned and often forgotten or never heard of) Runrig in the barrowlands in 1987 ( before they became very commercialised, when they sang a lot of gaelic song that know one knew what they were singing about but knew the words) just after they released " the cutter and the clan".

Also U" at the glasow secc in the late 80's.

and last but not least, every big contry gig I have been to. simply superb! timing, tightness, attmosphere, efverything about a big country concert gig was just fantastic.
BUT

as I have said somewhere before,
for the best sound, it has to go to John Prine in the royal concert hall in November last year.
that place really has a super duper sound system in there. it was not bouncing about with attmosphere but the sound blew me away.

hi.....again

I have answered this in " about chordie" section.

please try to refrain from multiple posts.

I am locking this one

Ken

hi oldlaughing lady

and welcome to chordie.

And thank you for reporting this.
It seems like a bug.
The original did start with the F chord, but like you say when you transpse it, it goes wonky.

per the chodie creator si the only person that can fix this.
I am sure he will sort this out as soon as he can.

Anymore bugs or problems it is always good to report them with a link like you have done

thank you

Ken

hi daddy
Arkady is right.
I done this ages ago with a song. only annoying thing like he said is it is filed under the "original" songs name. you cannot change the title.
I think this was asked before in " about chordie" and I might be wrong but I tihn kPer said he would look into this in a month or two. I tihnk he will look into it when he has the time.
And as said, do not make this a public book. It will have to remain private for your eyes only.

Ken

welcome back Hannah.

I did notice you were a bit quiet, another few days and we would have been sending the search party out

glad yer pc is repaired.

Ken

oldnewbie I am finding myself agreeing on a few things, not all but a few.
Why do we spell catalogue as we do? it looks more french!
Why do we have to have the letter U after the Q all the time?

the letter U is not really needed in the language at all, or langwage but then how would we spell putter?

and what is it with all these silent letters? like philosophy? why not filosoffy?

and why od we have to have a name for jelly/jello, why not just lengthen the name and call it " the wobbly stuff"

i could go on all night with this.

but, the marathon that was in the UK was the exact same as a snickers, just a different name. Americans might have had a version of marathon that was or is like you describe but not what we had.

oh yeah and i took no offence at all in any of your reply. ( they are great arent they)

Ken

I missed this first time round, so I am adding my late post now

I will always see Jelly as jelly as in the wobbly jelly stuff that americans call Jello.
Biscuits will always be biscuits as in digestives, custard creams even choc chip cookies are biscuits here.

What I want to know is why do Americans have different names for things when they were called biscuits before all those nations settled on american land.
And chips will always be chip and not french fries. And crips will be crisps and not chips.

And why did we have to get our beloved "MARATHON " bars changed to SNICKERS to go in line with everyone else?
and not just things you eat, Oil of Ulay is now known as ???????? whatever they called it.

next they will change the name of a MARS bar to JUPITER

and I never call tomato sauce "ketchup" it is tomato sauce, always has been always will

and why pronounce it "to- mae- to"?  it is "to- matto" always has been always will be

and why do I have to go on and on?

ye even call alluminium slightly different. Is it Allumium or something like that? it is alluminium, always has been always .....

Ken

I hope this does not turn into a full scale argument with different folk with different political beliefs as most discussion like this can turn out to be.
So please folk, stick to facts and not personal opinions

Ken

Welcome rdot

glad you like the site and I hope you get as much info here as you can.
I f you want to know something just ask in the relevant dection, if you are not too sure then just pop into chordie chat section for answers or just or banter.

you can learn a lot in here from people that like to help others ( which is most of us) you can get help with scales, strumming patterns, chords, strings, guitars, and a lot of other stuff that I know nothing about
