singing - or as I call it the bane of my existence is such a gift. there are many levels of it. Your singing reminds me a bit of the great Tom Waits.

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
Cheers Jim I find singing and playing music well is something I will never master,. For some strange reason despite my lack of talent music keeps luring me back. They were talking about songs on the radio a couple of early mornings back that were about the telephone songs and the phone operators that used to connect long distance calls which are all now obsolete things due to communications systems that have changed with smartphones.. They put the song on as an example of this, Martha by Tom Waits it was something I didn't expect to be hearing a song written or done by him like this. It was the right song for me to hear at that moment as some parts of it resonated with me. To sing like Tom I will have to take up smoking maybe a hundred cigarettes a day. On Martha his throat sounds a bit clearer than usual. I will attach the song, Martha done by Tom..

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
I see you're feeling better Pedr?
Anyone can slap out chord after chord and sing like Freddy Mercury...well not Freddy, Not many have that original singing and playing style you exhibit. And of course your exceptional observational skill to transform that observation into a song or poem. I loved that high note, was Maree crushing the family jewels?
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Cheers Piri
I am on new meds that are making me feel a lot better than what I have for a while. That high note was one of those test tickle moments.
A squeeze of the hand on a vital gland.
Helped this silly sod.
Reach high notes like he never had before.
Before he paid his money and got thrown out the door.
Beware good folks his singing coach with a Jewelry broach.
A beautiful girl
With the obvious name of Pearl.
Was no real Lady.
In fact, she was shady.
Worked part time as a stripper.
To help feed her nippers.
Is a singing teacher and more.
Note I wrote a singing teacher and a word that rhymes with war.
Has squeezed high notes from many a boy before.
Those who wanted to do more.
Than what they paid for.

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
Those meds may be working too well, buddy! It's great to see the old Pedr back.
There's no P in toilet
There's no H in love
There's no I in joyo
And no L in heaven...twice
I'll leave you to work that out
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
Re: I Can't Sing Sweet

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
I agree with you Jim it would be great to have you all as real life neighbours. It is a privilege to live on the continent of Cyberland in a town called Chordie.

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
Maye we could do a Doctor Who and have friendly Daleks running around our town exterminating all spammers and hackers. If my memory is correct did the Daleks go around saying "exterminate" as they set about to destroying things.? I was told the other day Doctor Who is now a woman so that would help our town of Chordie which seems to be full of men nowadays. Good thing about Doctor Who if it keeps going is at least kids in the future will know what a telephone box was. Here in NZ pay telephones and telephone boxes have all disappeared and in two years time all landlines here are going to be disconnected when they close the phone exchange.

Re: I Can't Sing Sweet
Yes you are correct: the Daleks did "EXTERMINATE" people with extreme prejudice, they'd blow smoke from an appendage which turned the victim see through and become a pile of dust, So yeah, sounds like the right sentence for spammers, hackers and politicians, not Chordie politicians obviously!
At this time land lines are needed in the UK and telephone boxes are provided so the vandals have something to practice on before going professional and becoming ram raiders!
Right again, Dr Who? is a woman of the female variety. There are rumours that certain American starlets are interested in becoming the next doctor! Just hope she plays guitar or uke...
