I believe you have the wrong person here last rebel. Old Doll, not arkady wrote this song. And a fine song it is Old Doll. Very well written, I would really like to hear you play this song. Are you gonna make it available for 'eager ears' to hear anytime soon?

Give everything but up.

Re: Song. White Linen! Words/Melody Helena Donovan.

Hi Helena,

"Goosebumps" Just so that you and no else one gets the wrong idea, like most female songs I play, I automatically flip the gender to a male perspective and this song brought to mind some very pleasant thoughts about certain lady from my past. For reasons that will never be made public those memories have been suppressed but this song brought them, and her, to mind - hence the goosebumps. Now I have to forget again.

Re: Song. White Linen! Words/Melody Helena Donovan.

Ah, Roger,

Well as long as they were pleasant thoughts! No harm done.

Thank You for the insight Mó Chara.



Southpaw41l. Thank you as always, i will try to record this one sooner!

I was very hurt by a remark said to me, about me, this week! At one time
i would not have known how to deal with the emotional upset it caused.
That day i took my Guitar, burned some Mexican sage,and put the emotions
into the chords for this song! Do you know Southpaw  it worked for me! Strangly enough
the melody is delightful and  Erased the hurt. "Wonderful Method" I recommend it.

Re: Song. White Linen! Words/Melody Helena Donovan.

it has took me 8 days before readong this,lol, sometimes i skip peoples songs, but usually get round to reading most. So if people think I dont like or have nothing to say about songs they post the ndont think that, I just cannot be bothereed to be honest to type things in a bout every song i read or I would spend all night here after work telling people the same thing all the time. good good good crap, ok, not bad, keep it up , blah blah blah etc etc.
After a few days on I jsut think, ok, too late now I should have commented earlier than this.
but wit hthis song I have to mention

lovely lyrics ma!!!

I cannot song this though, my wife might think I am gay lol


Good work.


Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: Song. White Linen! Words/Melody Helena Donovan.

Lena, you noticed well. My mother's birthday was on 3 November, she has a daughter living in Berlin, and we drove to Berlin. This city is getting back a WORLD CITY, a lot of works there, and amazing architecture and restauration.
I should sing a song about Berlin, but wasn't Lou Reed not the first?
Ken, I know GAY people married so wife & children included.
Which brings me to some funny names like Gloria GAYnor, and Marvin GAYe
