Good job and well done to all that contributed to the song.
It brought back memories of past Chordie collaborations mainly brought together by Roger.
Is the "The friends of Chordie" website on myspace still around?
I know artists Myspace has become almost unusable due to adds etc. A shame as it was the home of most Chordie collaborations in the past.
Anyway hope to see more.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Bill I've been a bit of gamer for while now my grandson and I played all the "Halo" series over the years and I really liked the music used in them to create atmosphere which I strive to do in my music.
Thanks for the comment
Ken I'm learning all the time. It's just a question of spending time to get to know what each thing does 90% of what I produce is unsable...
Hope you can get to grips with your new software.
Thanks for taking the time.
Phill the software I'm using is Magix music maker 15 I think you have heard of it. I had an older version on the old PC not transferable. It's what I've been used to though the interface change somewhat. They upgraded the midis and soundpools and added some gizmos. It works well with my old keyboard and guitar.
All the sounds produced in the piece are through a midi including the guitars sounds, all in the computer played using the PC's keyboard. (I am considering getting a midi keyboard controller) then tweaked and mixed.
I am inspired by a lot of film music I hear.
Thanks for the comment.
Graham thanks for taking the time to comment.
Dino your comment is always welcomed.

Topic: Last man Standing (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi all
I haven't posted much lately but always keep an eye on the songwriting section some really good songs have been posted.... I do envy you guys that come up with some great lyrics.
I had a change of PC and up graded my mixing software which has been a bit of a learning curve but on the whole has been worth the effort and cost.
This piece is upbeat and hard hitting.

Best listened to through earphones or a decent sound system as it will probably sound rubbish through a laptop
Thanks

Re: Global Breakdown (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Hey Kenny
Your painting a rather bleak picture of our world there
but I have to agree with you and if you hear the news (which I strive to miss most of the time)
getting bleaker and more deadly by the minute.
You'll have to chrank up the new Strat and turn this into a song ASAP....
Nice to hear from you again.

Re: i have one that needs a title (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I'm sort of reading in the lyrics a kind of depression passed down from your father.
Hence the title "My fathers gift"
We are in many ways the product of our childhood.

It's strange sometimes I get the feeling that Chordie's forum is just an cyber old age retirement home for ageing guitar players too. Me included

Re: Why do you like the music you like? (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
"Why do you like the music you like". Good question.
Well after much thought I came to conclusion I dont really know why.What I think I mean is that the answer is to complex to put into words. I could list the many types of music I like from classical to pop and also the types I don't but that would not be an answer.
All I know for sure is as I have got older my likes have got much broader and music I would have scoffed at in my youth now i find really quite good.
I guess I just like a good tune in all its varied forms..

The song was fine. Just the posting of the lyrics of the song "Groving" could cause Chordie problems.
Now they have been removed all is good in the Chordie garden.
