Ah well I suppose I had best throw my hat into the ring now as I wont get any time to polish this one, or even roll it it glitter. I was hoping to get a choral type vocal from Lurksalittle to set it up properly , but thats not going to happen any time soon, she is not up for putting any effort in please note the cute picture to generate some interest

Congratulations dude though It must be costing you a fortune changing your style of hat so often

Just a quick reminder that December’s composition challenge is on and that if you or your band have a recording done this year of a song you have covered, you can enter it here , rules etc are in the thread

Sounds very promising buddy , best wishes

If I cover that for the December Challenge , I think it would break the irony meter

Who is in charge of ordering the taxis around these parts

Oh Douglas you are a star

Reaper has updated to version 6 its different from what I’ve been used too , it’s nothing in the scheme of things , but when I suddenly get a spark and I’m told my money has run out and the interface is a little alien , it just sucks , not massively, but I need everything in my favour to stop me from mass hair extraction by pulling

To be fair it’s a good warm up bass line as well , with a nice deep but clunky tone you can own that song , got be on it rhythmically as it is driven by the low end

I don’t but the singer does , but I think it is purely a confidence thing , beds are burning is his go to first set starter and I have to go back a couple of years to recall a gig that didn’t start with it

Well in there Douglas , I have nothing done so will have to start from scratch as usual , but I have a million other things on. I am hoping for some inspiration soon , even though ‘tradition’ would suggest I have already had a full years notice of the challenge

It is a bit odd ............right hand knee

Well done young Douglas lad , honoured to share the certificate with you sir

I like to get stuck in sharpish , but I also like to throw open the invite for a vocal input from 1 or 2 people , then , as it usually finds a few stumbling blocks , I either do it myself or leave them off , but it takes a couple of weeks to get to the point that what is currently done either improves with my singing attempts or not, decision time, then it gets posted!

Make that 4

Fair play , that's 3 brilliant tracks I've listened to just now well done gents

On it Nigel , excellent

beautiful Douglas , Bravo

OK Because I did a half decent one last month , the singist from the old band was happy to collaborate on this one , and boy does it make a difference , he can ........ er.... sing so many thanks to Mr Ray 'warbler' Robertson of The Razors for contributing to this .....

Holy schmoley I didn’t realise tonight was the deadline ! Ive got one just about ready , so I’ll get a mix done and put it up later , I’ve got a paid soundcloud account so I can put a revised edit on the same link it’s good job @adamg67 posted or I’d have missed it

This is a bit odd as I didn’t think it would be a thing I would say , but Chester is doing alright at the moment , the ‘live rooms’ seems to be putting some half decent shows, the known local band pubs are still busy and a few duos I know are still busy in the area. Tagged on to the Tiv in Buckley , and Central station in Wxm , and there is plenty to see within 10 minute drive/40min bus. so yeah, quite surprised me really

Coughlans quo my old band were supporting , and played a blinder coughlans quo were ok but a bit obscure for me , so I got an early bus back to town for more beer interestingly though, my old band sounded awesome. I told the guitarist how good his AC30 sung through , he said he couldn’t hear it . That was the reason I left the band , he kept turning up so HE could hear it and would be too loud out front . only been discussing this issue for about 8 years

Some days I like lyrics other days I don't Some days all I’ll eat is cheese Other days I won’t though lyrics don’t all have to rhyme I like it when they do I find the tale will flow quite well but I guess that is just me nonsense I say , it’s all nonsense, I do love good lyrics in a song.

There you go Douglas , an opportunity to write a new anthem , not that yours aren’t usually anthems suffice to say , that is an angle that I wasn’t expecting

My dodgy back was diagnosed by a seamstress/seamster/tailor/tailoress (gender related job descriptions confuse me nowadays) basically, while altering my charity shop 6.00 purchase , she noticed one shoulder was lower than the other , causing the spine to be tilted. I don’t get any issues , but it is a good observation and I am now more conscious of my posture , I do plenty of stretching before work already , and as long as I am moving all day I am fine , but standing still is what does me in
