Well I'm glad we sorted that one out then........
Just a little thought on the Law.
When you havn't planned to get into a situation where Sod's Law could do anything that could possibly bother you in the slightest, Sod's law dictates it will bugger up someone else's day, which will inadvertantly ruin your day as well.

Hi jeff
Nice one.
liked the Chord progression something a little different.
Had a look at the myspace website you recommended for Bluegrass.
Thought it would be Banjos, Fiddles and such was pleasantly suprised more like country.
Wife liked her alot.

Hi james
A brief rundown of the rules of Cricket are as follows.........
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in
Each man that’s in goes out and when he’s out he comes in. The next man goes in until he’s out
When they are all out the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out
Sometimes you get men who are still in and not out
When both sides have been in and out including the not outs
The Games is over.
Hope that clears it up
Regards

Re: How do you start writing music? (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi KramL
For me song writting was an integral part of learning to play the guitar.
I sometimes think people who are having formal training in learning to play the Guitar are left with little time to explore avenues of their own. With exams to train for and regimented playing patterns to follow little time is left for self expression.
What has worked for me over the years of playing is experimentation.
Playing chord progressions many different ways noting ones that sounded good.
Fitting melodies to the ones that seem to me to have potential.
The lyrics come last for me and are the hardest part.
I have started and stopped so many songs over the years, but that I think is normal for us all.
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards

Re: Arkadys Dogs B#####x? (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi old doll
I'm not sure where the expression came from.
Used here as a meaning for something that's good not really a very nice one I know.
I thought it was a little amusing as acmecorp described Marmite as tasting like a dogs arse meaning bad.
I prefer it's the cat's whiskers.

Nice song. Meaningfull Lyrics.
Well Done.
The world of cosmetic surgery perpetuated by mass media is false and money making.
Praying on the insecurities of people where image is everything.
Your right people have choices. But I do find the whole business somewhat distasteful.

Topic: I wonder/The Picture on myspace (0 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi,
I've put I Wonder and The Picture on myspace.
Now the excuses
The recordings were taken from a old 4 track tape . Through a tape deck onto my old computer as wave file downloaded to my laptop converted to an MP3 file then up loaded to myspace.
The recording quality is not as I would have liked But there it is.
"I wonder" is a bit indulgent and over long and has caught a bit of the next song.
Anyway please have listen and see what you think.
