Since posting have got involved with a mate called Nick who's percussion skills will fill the sound. It's sounding sweet enough to catch a bass man without looking. Am still doing the acoustic thing. Was recorded at an open mike performing the first song I wrote. Check out youtubemusic..........Jackanory Live..........

Topic: Performing our own material. (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Hey you all....Did a gig last Friday, played 14 of my songs, but had an awesome band back me for 3 of them. Now I am torn. Don't have the time for full time band commitment. Sounded so full & am so grateful to the gang Ann Jangle Band, who played along after only one Jam session. So what's the direction, here. Stick to an acoustic duet with my vocal or make the time.....bring it on in the name of PLM.

A poem is but a muse, and music is but a poem with soul, harmony & melody. Hmmm.

I've fished in Scotland, Iceland, all over the Uk, mainly salmon & trout. Managed a trout farm for a couple of years, love my collection of 'Split Cane' Hardys, tie all my own flies....what more can I say. You hijacked the right thread!!

Topic: Acoustic improvements. (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Having strummed my heart out on a cheap XS guitar for 2 years, I have spoilt myself with a new Tanglewood (touchwood) Acoustic. Cripes, I have become a much better guitar player overnight. It's amazing how a great guitar can inspire & build confidence. So what I'm saying is , if your serious about the guitar & you can afford to. Upgrade! It will take you forwards & upwards.

Learn to play the songs you already know the words to, also, write your own. Remembering them is then easy.

Re: Performing (30 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Cheers all, I practice all my songs, a lot, am recording & performing almost weekly, can play them 100 times without music.........but stage tends to give me the wobbles. Am learning to turn my ears off to the strumming partner, which has helped, he must follow!! Stopped boozing 16 years ago, doing it sober is a massive hurdle.

How can one perform on stage as perfectly as one does when on your own? Is it only live practice that makes it easier? Tips??

Cheers, for input, I have recorded with producer in studio, I reckon that is proof enough. Everyone in the legal world wants to shake the tree too. Watch this space, I can taste success.!

Re: Poems are not Songs (29 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Poetry should have scansion & metor, without a melody it ain't music. Music can sustain a word for a number of beats, poetry can't. Whether Rap is Music....well, maybe I shouldn't comment!
