Hi tig
About the singing thing no ones more self conscious about their singing than me.
The fact that you sang with your daughter means your not that embarrassed lol.
I shudder to think what my daughter would say if she heard me!
Anyway I've posted some songs on Chordie over the years singing on some so
Don't let what think of your voice hold you back from recording and posting on Chordie
If your able to. I'm sure we would all like to hear it.
We tend to be our own worse critics. Lol

Hi Phill
What struck me about the song was how much the recording quality of the your songs have improved over the years. The interplay of the tracks was excellent and sounds really professional.
I've always been a fan of your songs and this one don't change that.
well done
Tony.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Hi Ken I'm glad I got round to recording this song now I guess we all have our hang ups about our songs. Thanks for the positive comment.
Hi Phill I find a simple chord progression mostly always gives up a decent melody. Glad you liked the song. Tony
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment Dino.
Hey Humming thanks for the positive comment. I agree with you about the talented members on Chordie. Ive read and heard some great songs on here.
Hi Roger thanks for the vote of confidence on my voice. There's a few more I think I will turn my voice to now.
Thanks Graham for the comment. I guess your soaking up the sun Crete now lucky chap.
I'm typing this on my fairly new iPad so there maybe some typos... Haven't worked out how to insert smile icons yet.

Re: Backing Track Johnny Cash Style (18 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I think this thread has gone a little off the songwriting forum general aims which are "A place to discuss songwriting and to share your own work with fellow musicians" Backing tracks like them or loath them have I believe some merit in promoting better playing but that's just my opinion whether they belong in the songwriting forum I'm not so sure. Like jeff says stay civil and enjoy your selves.:)

It say here in the Uk that the average woman owns 39 pairs of shoes. I think my wife owns probably about that many. Most women treat shopping as very serious occupation so a closure is a major event.

Re: Doesn't That Look Like Heaven? (13 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nice one Phill. I know what you mean about holding back when recording i do so myself. Though I feel you have less reason to hold back your voice than me.
I guess we are the most harsh critics of our own voices.
anyway well done

Re: Origin of Your Nickname? (41 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My nickname comes from the books written by Martin Cruz Smith about a Russian detective called Arkady Renko. Hence Arkady no musical connection also I used the name for my recorded music.
Short and easy to remember.

Re: So Glad. (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Phill I found your recording of the song on myspace.
I really enjoyed the love song reminded me of Elton john. I guess you should tell the Chordians where you post the recording as they are a lazy bunch and usually won't go looking for it..
