lol good on the cat big_smile Now that is a song I haven't heard in a very long time.  I have to say the guitar playing on this was great neophytte.  Is that a different guitar?

Thanks - yes, that's my "bedroom" Maton ... it's an EM325, which is a mid-range acoustic - I do use it occasionally for gigs, but it's mostly working out ideas and quick demos. Being a larger sized guitar, it tends to 'boom' out a bit more than the small bodied EBG808 (my usual guitar).

I'm sorry to hear this - I joined the forum just as Bill was spending less time here, but we did some email exchanges around 2018, when he spoke fondly of his wife.

Condolences to those who knew her.

neophytte, nicely performed on this cover.  Interesting the effect to your vocals on this one, what program were you using on the vocals?

Thanks - depending where I was in my recording history (6 years ago), I either used the inbuilt effects of iMovie, or it might have been later when I switched over to using LogicX for the audio, then importing that into iMovie for the video editing.

Cheers

I find writing harder these days, but the process is also more thought out .... it's also hard with distractions all around, it's easier to chat on Chordie than pull out the video, edit, etc ...

Cheers

would love to hear your song on one of the csom subjects

That sounded quite good - I was watching a special on Leonard Cohen the other day, and it gave me vibes of that ...

yeah  back  in 22 heres  a  link  to  the  thread https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=38627

I was just looking through my YouTube channel and saw I did a cover of your song last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm6c9tsDFuY

Maybe others can do a cover too?

Cheers

Richard     

Hmmm, looks like it's time to finish of the song I wrote for _last_ Decembers FSOTM, about the family Christmas day - it's called Two in the afternoon, as that's when Dad traditionally went off for a snooze after too much food and beer smile

Well done neophytte, good you have your buddy playing along with you too.  Good message, I like the line "your chosing our fate" and your right, so many views on the politcal arena.

Thanks - I hope the world doesn't turn crazy (or crazier?) after this election ...

Thanks, I think it's a record shop / cafe during the day .. looks like a good place to chill.

neophytte, nice one, good lyrics, thumbs up from me.

Thank you!! The microphone helped with the audio, as the guy up the front balanced them out (not like our club ones, where it can be sometimes hit and miss - but getting better)

Cheers

Just a couple of days to go, if anyone else would like to contribute some words?

Cheers

It's amazing when you find old stuff like that!! Looks good!

here is one of the vids.let me know what ya think?

Hmmm, I found it a bit ... weird? I'm thinking they typed the lyrics in, then asked the AI to make the film clip, which works well in some aspects, but the shop names and some of the imagery is very left of centre.

And the hourglass that empties in seconds ...

But it wasn't as bad as the other one I watched (Octopus' Garden): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEGlYbhMZjM where the main crew seem to be imitating Captain Pugwash and his crew ....

Here is my rough attempt at a poem song just with my guitar that I wrote.. Hope it makes sense.

I liked your poem song Peatle, I think many people are wondering about this world of ours right now.

Cheers Jan there is a lot of turmoil in the world. I just am thankful and feel blessed to be where I am at the moment. Having said that without feeling apprehensive I realise that we have to enjoy and treasure the moment when things are good because all roads have bumps in them. As many of the buskers around town tell me it is tough out there at the moment but despite that you have to remain positive. I will attach a busker talking to me about that here.

Today   I  picked up  my  first  Martin  an  LX1E travel  guitar  absolutly  blown away    what  a  brilliant  little   thing  the  bonus  was  I  got  it  very  cheap   and  its  like  new   .

First thing: we need a  picture or video!!!

I've never been a big fan of Martin, (my two main gigging guitars theses days are both Maton's) however an old friend used to swear by them for years, so perhaps it's time to give them a go!

Hi Phil,

Thanks for that - but not exactly what I was after ... I suspect when you click on:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … how_recent

it is date restricted to the last date, if we look at the code available here:

https://github.com/punbb/punbb/blob/master/search.php

It shows it restricted to 86400 at line 86, what I wanted is to set this to a few days, so I guess forming a URL Like this:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … lue=432000

Now ... we can see 5 days of recent activity ... but I was hoping there was a more elegant way of doing it.

Cheers

Richard     

Hi,

Is it possible to change the number of _recent items_ as displayed here:

https://www.chordie.com/forum/search.ph … how_recent

Now there is less forum activity, it would be good to be able to set it to a higher number, so we can see items which are a bit further back in the timeline. I couldn't see it in the _Settings_ tab either ...

Cheers

Richard
