still something wrong.

I tried spacing those verses out but they did not space out.

I missed this firs time round

very very nice old doll!!

I think I might givce this one a bash

and like James said, I want to hear this, are you puting it on myspace or youtubio or anywhere else we can hear it?

Ken

Good one James,

and thanks james,Roger and Jason.

I just rewrote a song I done when I was 19 or 20. The very first song I had written lyrics too. Before I played the guitar!! My mates wee brother done the chords then.

But now I lost the original lyrics and cannot remember what chords they were, but I have rewrote it and the lyrics if not the same are very close. and I think I managed to get the chords correct unless I sing in a different key now,lol.

I will post it on very soon.

Ken

totall with you on this zurf,
I have mentioned this twice in the main about chordie section as has other people, so i am sure per is trying to sort this, or hopefully he is trying to.

I found a way to help though for songs you are wanting "nice to look at " fast.

I went into improve song at the bottom, when it goes into the part to edit the song it looks like all the lyrics are on new lines for each line ( if ye know what I mean?)
Well I went to the end of each line and pressed return, so in the edit section it looks like there is a double space inbetween but when it goes back to the song, all the verses are sitting nice again.

hope this helps, I mshould mention this in the main part I suppose,

Ken

good luck with your move

Another suggestion..
when i moved and I knew i would be offline for a couple of weeks I highjacked my mates computer now and then or the works and went into my songbook and printed out some songs, just so i was not left with nothing at all.
Just think though, if you only get 5 songs printed and that all you got for one month, think of how good you will get at those songs.

Ken

I managed this as well,
BUT

I had to do it on the second attempt after I realised what I done the first time.
It is very hard to do and I think impossible if you get someone to do it for the first time and tell them to do it at the same time.
Good one Al

Ken

hi phil

I got a few things in my favourites on youtube, the best one i have came across is a very popular one called " evolution of dance"

he is really good

I never knew you could copy and paste songs into a program like microsoft word etc. before. That is the reason why Per made changes so you can do it.
I noticed too though these bloacks surrounding the text but there is no need anyway. as James said there is ways round this problem by going into the edit and copying or pressing print.

there are a lot of features on Chordie, not all will suit everyone. If Per was to constantly change things to suit one or two people out of over 122,000 he would have to give up his day job and tell his wife to look after their new baby on her own so he can constantly ehlp people on here.

I am not having a go at anyone asking for help here, just saying how it is. Chordie admin consists of one guy and a few of us help moderate.

I am sure Per would still like suggestions on how to improve even if he doesnt go along with every change that is mentioned, he still reads and considers them all I am sure.
OUt of all the people online I interact with, he is the one person top of my list to get a beer and a whisky bought for if he ever enters on MY scottish soil.

lol

Ken

oh, I got somthing I hate, yes folk, I hate someone.
I think hate is a very strong word but I must say I really do HATE, DETEST the bouncer in the ABC on suchiehall street in glasgow.
I hate him so much I would not pee on him if he was on fire, iF he was stung by a jelly fish or if he needed the last t spoon of my urine to stop him dying of thirst.

Phew, glad I got that if my chest.

The wee turd threw me out " the alarm" concert last weekend before the band came on. I saw my mate's band " the red eyes" that were supporting the Alarm then I went to the toilet. I was a little bit sick in the toilet pan and flushed after me without making a mess. I was not even drunk. I ate a chinese meal not long before I went in and drank a pint of lager on top of that, I tihnk thats what made me sick?.
He heard me boking in the cubicle and asked if I was ok when i came out. I said I had been sick but felt much better, then he escorted me out the building saying for health and safety reasons I had to leave.
And he made sure I did leave!!

I have writeen to the BAC to complain and the papers, I have heard nothing back from either.

health and safety in the workplace says you are not suppose to wear jewellry yet he had his lip pierced, I was not even offered to see a first aider, instead I was told to get out the side door into the street.

there, thats why I hate him

Love to all ( apart from him)

Ken

if it was not ok then buskers, famnous artists, everyone near enough would be getting sued.

Probably about 95% of bands I have seen have done cover version live, but have not had it on a cd or album.

Of course it is ok.

If in the slight chance it is not ok, I cannot see anyone suing anyone over someone covering their song and not actually recording it for the purpose of making money.

You go play and tell them I said it was ok, and dont listen to anyone else ,lol

freedom of speech, freedom to roam
if I want I will recite rabbie's poem
no one will hold me down to submit
I will sing what I want and dont give a shhhhhhhhhh

Ken

this is why in my song " i am an athesit" I sing

Don’t need no “good† man how to tell us to live
He’ll put out his hand but expect you to give.

it is all about money and greed and power in all religion

agree or not, but it is true.
everyone should sit down and think about this with an open mind, you will know I am speaking sense.

ken

if you are playing it live and cannot sell it in form of cd then you are ok.
If you get it recorded live and sell it as cd or dowloadabvle form then you are breaching.

As long as you are not on stage pretending to be that person singing. and I dont mean pretending to be someone through a tribute band.

You can song what you want live and get paid without getting prossecuted, as long as you are not selling it on a recorded method.

all these big bands that do covers live on stage do not pay royalties for covering a song. It is only when they put it on cd.

So, you can go out and play as much as you want like bornj again, they made a fortune on abbas songs.
