+1 I’ll Include your good self in that sentiment

That’s sounds very positive buddy

Our guitarist was habitually late, but it wasn’t really an issue on gigs as it meant we had more room onstage to set up, he’d just get in the way and start sticking his oar in regarding the layout etc , so it suited

OK , back home so I'll get the voting thread up now that I think we're all in

well here's an odd occurrence , I honestly thought I'd posted this on Monday ! Its a bouncy little ditty for you here , based on the picture , which is a starry night sky , so space , and if space is a theme , you just can't forget Jane Fonda , so with some ridiculous lyrics by me , guitars, bass and half the vocal by me , Drums by EZ, and the chorus by Lurksalittle I offer you ...Type R enjoy Well I think I might just have another pasty after that shock !

Well I never, I actually think I didn’t press the ‘submit post ‘ button , I thought I had posted it , I even had my lunch pasty I’ll go and do it now , it’s probably still sitting on the PC waiting for me

Would you like me to sing it fir you ? I think I’ve got a following !

Aye over

I think similar when I do my singing , I have to make sure everyone’s windows are closed before I start up . in these Covid days , I don’t want the neighbours clambering round my garden for a listen , you know how it is !

The only teacher that ever threw stuff at me was the music teacher , It didn’t endear me to him as I would throw it Straight back . but nowadays the availability of the music software and recording kit some schools have is awesome , and some even let the kids use it after hours in clubs . I also know that some of the productions they put on are incredible , but I suspect that is down to the teachers and staff who are prepared to put the effort in.

Sorry gents , bloody autocorrect , it was supposed to say ‘lunch pasty’ i have to say it was a lovely Lunch with a bit of brown sauce , maybe next time

Well , in a surprise turn up , I asked lurksalittle what she thought of my effort , and she thought I was singing the wrong melody in the chorus! i asked how she thought it should go , so she sang it , and I recorded it , simple it kind of throws a gender spanner in to confuse the lyric a little , but it is so much sweeter on the ear. im going to try some more guitar in it, then release it to grand acclaim, I might even have a launch party with myself while listening to all the plaudits 😎

It’s the same in the window industry, shortages in supply but a massive demand. I should put a smiley here, but it’s a proper PITA . Rescheduling installations every week because product is delayed is very frustrating for us and the customers !

Er , if you are doing a Bucks Fizz song, then you had best enter it in December when we normally do a cover song challenge, so you’ve got 3 months to nail it

Woo hoo , I think I’ll put another verse in now !!

You just might have hit on a plan

I’ve got a Rode NT1, but generally use a std hand held job for what I do , the room I use gives lots of reflections for a condenser type mic , I might try recording some vocals in the cupboard this week and see how it works out. Note to self , get the pop filter back from the lad !

And Now @Leonard Smalls has done the same ! Now I fear that the bar has been set so high , I will have no difficulty in walking right under it in my defence, this month, I have written a song , I have learnt it , and learnt how to play it , so this time I have a structure to follow , it is of course, a bit random and full of my vocal , however, I have a few days left yet to rehearse and warm my larynx to its fullest harmonic potential* * who the f**k am I kidding here , not even myself 🤣

Sweeeet that was very well moulded to my ear 👍

Look Douglas, Fir @Dad3353 you should be able to spruce it up a bit
