are you walking from me tonight...?{eob}

Hi Phil,

This song reminds me of how good our gut instinct is.  As in all aspects of life
we know when things dont feel right.

Delighted your Wife's blue eyes still shine for you.

Re: Blue Eyes

Hey Phill
This song certainly seems to come from your heart.
You say it keeps changing have you ever recorded it or is it just one of  those personal songs that never quite gets there. smile
would like to hear it if you do.

Re: Blue Eyes

Hey Phill
Yep just had listen. A nice slow number liked it alot.
It's strange how when your talking over your Welsh accent come's out. Not when you are singing though.
In most of your songs do you use a Chorus pedal. I like the sound have to use mine a bit more.

Re: Blue Eyes

HI ARK, YOU'VE CAUGHT ME OUT, ACTUALLY THE CHORUS FX IS BUILT INTO THE GUITAR, IT'S A GRIFTER ACCOUSTIC WITH A BUILT IN PICK-UP, LEFT HAND AND I LOVE IT, AND ON TOP OF THAT I USE THE CHORUS FX ON MY KORG D8 RECORDER, SOUNDS A BIT MUCH NOW I'VE PUT IT DOWN, BUT THAT WON'T STOP ME USING IT.
GLAD YOU LIKED THE SONG, AND I TAKE IT YOU LISTENED TO "IF IT CAME DOWN TO ME" AS THAT HAS ME RECITING [AS OPPOSED TO RAPPING] A LITTLE VERSE I HAD IN MY HEAD AT THE TIME.

KEEP ROCKING
