Topic: Any Musicians Aboard?

[Lesmond]

Yeah I love dr who, the new guy looks ok though, hard for him to step into Tennant's shoes though, here

When he bursts onto screens in the new series of Doctor Who, actor Matt Smith will play a seemingly invincible alien lifeform.

But in reality he is just as susceptible to the cold as anyone else, and needed a hot water bottle to keep warm as he filmed scenes on a chilly Welsh beach today.

The 26-year-old actor and the doctor's assistant Karen Gillan, 21, were spotted wrapped up in padded coats on location near Cardiff as they filmed their first scenes together.

Have you noticed, the Dr is getting younger every time he regenerates.
Wish I had a bottle o' that.

may mean something different in the USA, but in the UK "on the fiddle" is like a con man or crook lol

jeza will know hehe

Ah! Gotcha. 

Jeza, could you please post up the lyrics and the mp3 in the Poems Board.  :2thumbs:
Of course if you want to add any comments about how the song and music came about and it's later history we would be loving that as well.

Use this code for the mp3... you don't need to add anything to it, just paste it into you topic.

Code: [Select]

LOL, I know what you mean. LOL

Playing with your "fiddle" again, Les??? LOL

[Orakk (OP)]

Really weird, back of my mind I thought we were all bros but didn't know why.

Was in a band for 4 1/2 years, one night when the gig finished, I stepped off the stage to get me drink and looked back to see what the commotion was about. Two of the band members were kicking the crap outa each other on stage.
That was that, I left there and then and have no interest in bands anymore, too old anyways.

I had a 10 year gap then wherein I got married again and finally found the meaning of life, having children. I've been playing again for the past two years but finding it difficult to get back to the pitch needed to actually be an acoustic guitar player. Tend to strum pick now as it masks all the problems of fingerpicking, yeah its cheating but what the heck, no-ones listening anyways.

Attached is an oldie of mine, its about the feeling when your first baby girl is born. It was several years after I wrote this that it actually came true I'm happy to say.
Poor recording, slightly outa key but what the hay.

Liked your sample. 

Sticking my clever hand into an industrial bench saw ended my music en-devours abruptly for a time but has recovered enough now to be useful. Interesting thing about music is in how the brain keeps on learning even when you've not practiced for a while. Accuracy and pace are still off the mark for me but the fresh ideas are a plenty so I'm stoked to be back in the game. Pushing fifty I find fellow musicians still at it have out grown the need to self destruct so that's a plus.

All good news for the composer these days to. The one thing has changed since I started out relates to software available. In the old days the only way to get a good sound was in winding up the Marshalls to eleven and stand back. Nowadays I use GuitarRig for all my preamp sounds and plug into an El34 50/50 Marshall for live playing. Sounds great and for live playing it's the ducks guts, no more fighting with a guitar sound just wants to go off it's face which makes for a happy mixer at the desk.

What a bloomin thing to happen Orakk, musta been a nightmare.

[Skhilled]

Yeah, sorry about that.

But there is a lot of software available for musicians via midi for instruments, synth software (which I like now), or notation for writers. There's a lot of good free ones for linux. Most good Windows software is paid.
