Jeff....you sound a little frustrated with the weather and the world in general. you've captured a mood felt the world over, it reminds me of when the soviet union collapsed and the Berlin wall came down, there was a feeling of optimism that the human race would finally have a future. then came the rain!!!! when one dictator goes another takes his place. as Pete Townsend said "here comes the new boss, just like the old boss"
there's just one thing left to say....when do we get to hear it?
i love that line..."my desire to write looms" . as a muso and song writer i have to agree, you've captured what makes us write or play. as we go about our mundane lives humming tunes or thinking up words to songs that haven't been written.... yet!

There were 6 new posts on this forum today....all spam. My question is; does anyone read this drivel? As you may know, spam is unsolicited and unpaid advertising. For the most part it's put on by people being paid to slip this garbage into similar websites as ours. I don't know about anyone else but I certainly wouldn't buy any of the dubious products or services they offer. Anyone here who would?

Thanks
Thanks Russ, but I think guitar playing is like a slimming disease, you feel over weight even if you're not, then you die! I don't think wanting to be a better player will kill me....I hope?
Over use of FX like chorus or phasing on vocals can get a bit tedious. Minimal use for effect is best. Like I have a vocal harmonizer, which works off the guitar chords, over use kills the effect of impact.
Jim, I can't explain what chorus sounds like except that it fills in the sound as does echo/reverb. You will hear it on lots of records especially C/W ballards.
Russ, I checked it out thoughrolly on YouTube before buying. I just wish I could play like those guys.
Beamer, I haven't had much chance to check everything out yet but I will give it a go and let you know my thoughts
Hi Beamer....oh yes I intend to use the distortion and gain function to it's limit. But not on acoustic guitar! That bit of gain and overdrive is enough to get heard during a solo without changing amp settings. I like my acoustic clear with a little reverb and a nice chorus, and this beauty has that in spades.
i know, every time i get a new toy i have to rave about it? so....i saw what appeared to be an absolute bargain on amazon .... donner alpha cruncher, it has just 3 FX; echo/ reverb, chorus and distortion. it's made i guess for electric guitars and though i haven't used it that much yet on electric, it sounds great. so i thought i'd try it on my acoustics and yep, it also sounds terrific on them, love the chorus and adjustable echo/reverb.
just thought i'd mention it.
Bass...has to be McCartney, simple melodic bass.
Chris Squire obviously
The bassist from Level 42
Dave Peacock from Chas and Dave
Guitar....George Harrison
Steve Howe
Paul Simon
Dave Gilmore
Roger Hodgson... Supertramp
Many others too numerous to mention
Who names these birds? We have crow, robin, thrush and some tits...the avian variety of course. The most exciting name here for me is the pied wagtail or shigldigwt in Welsh that translated goes shake your butt, actually it's tail but that's not so funny.
Did you name Harold after king Harold? Apparently his last words were...awtch! I've got a splinter in my finger, I suppose that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...? Toowit towoo!
Thank you, William. The English speaking world just grew larger for me, and it seems to be full of people with a silly sense of humour, just like me.
Thanx Jan, so glad to know my sense of humour works in the antipodes....it doesn't work here, I get a lot of funny looks!
Jim.
Her actual reason for crying was most likely something totally mundane....like she lost her umbrella. Your story adds a dimension. Maybe she was thinking....ooops I don't have enough money to pay for my meal, I'm going to ruin my new nail job washing dishes...lol. so your story makes her look more interesting.
Funny how there are so many things you mean to get round to but never get there?
I meant to send Bill an email too, and never got round to it.....later?
I have put some of my cassettes onto CD, as you say time consuming, so only the best ones, my old LP's are too scratched, please don't tell me there are programs that can take away scratches...they can't stop the needle from jumping.
glad to hear Bill and Dondra are doing fine
the best writers of songs or novels can put down in words what others can only assume is mundane and everyday. Jim i read this song very, very slowly without trying to put a tune or rhythm to it, that will come later. i am so proud to say that Jim Kenyon is a personal friend of mine, one day my friend you will be up there amongst the great lyricists. this song proves that. i always say....say what you see, and you said what you saw
I can spend between 2 to 3 hours playing when gigging. Possibly more than that if I'm recording, mixed with bass drums and keyboards. Otherwise lately it's been stolen moments while I'm waiting for her shadylip before going out.
I find I'm listening to a lot of music when I've had enough playing. YouTube videos of my favourite bands playing live, headphones up loud trying to figure out what chords they're playing. And of course on the way to shows, CD up loud...
Thank you Peatle, glad to be of service.
Love the toon TF, I'm sure those dinosaurs know what their doing....curses, why didn't that asteroid get them all?
the Kingsman is worth thousands?.....don't tell your friend and make sure he doesn't come on chordie
Your friend gave you those beauties for services rendered? Who did you have to kill??? My jaw dropped at the first guitar, I was drooling at the balalaika and I had to wipe the drool off my screen by the time I got the the Kingsman.
Give your friend my name if he needs anything done in the UK. Lol
Yep, that's an upgrade plus VAT. I'm not on FB so I can't tell if it's a mixer, mixer amp or recording studio? I see there are 8 channels, are they all stereo or mono and pan? I bet the multi FX can curl your hair? Enjoy
A bridge; it's where a song takes on a bridging section which goes from the verse to the chorus or to a solo maybe even a change of key. You'll hear them in most songs especially country tracks. The famous one is where George Harrison and Eric Clapton were writing a song and Harrison wrote "bridge" and Clapton thought that was the title, but Harrison's writing was so bad he thought it was "Badge". Ha ha

happy Canada day from Wales, i shall lift a beer or two to help celebrate tonight.
hi Jim, running it through in my head felt like more of a soft rock rhythm similar to "is this love?" by either whitesnake or rainbow? just the rhythm not the melody line. i like it and when i get the chance i shall give it a go on the guitar.
just had a quick strum and i find it works perfectly, your frazing is reminiscent of the travelling wilburys so it's an automatic like from me.
i feel it might benefit from a bridge, maybe alter a verse to suit?
How could anyone complain about that kind of service? You lucky person you....let me know how you get on with it.
