James G

I'm amazed that no-one seems to have heard of him. Fantastic voice, and he had the courage to turn his back on his pop career to record some of the most uncompromising music ever.

The Walker Brothers had some tremendous songs, love this one (Midge Ure did a fine cover of it)

I actually thought that the OP did well to get so many sensible answers tbh. Would have been way worse in the old CH. I'm sorry if my effort failed to meet the required standard for acceptable humour.

Paulo. I honestly can't be arsed. You know what I mean. Make the CH what you want it to be, just like the Songs forum.

I hope that you're not suggesting that somebody who appears to be female should be treated differently to anyone else because that would be sexist. 😏

No, I'm not. I'm just bored of the lazy, witless bollocks that passes for 'humour', tediously carried over from the last place. Although I'm actually quite surprised that 'Wong on So Many Levels' hasn't appeared yet. It's only a matter of time.

And let's not forget that the most famous Irishman in history was actually Welsh

I very much doubt that David Kelly was Welsh.

(lick o' paint, one hour)

There's a lady called Molly asking about musical scores further down the page. She's already been 'treated' to the rapier-like wit of the CH.

Well thank you Bill, that's nice

Excellent!

Can't see your photo, is it like this? 

Oh come on....is that necessary?

Never mind. 

How do you imagine any composer does that? That's like asking how Charles Dickens decided what words to use...

Up to you, but I can guess how it'll go, until the thread gets locked.

Note to Reader:  I know I've posted a topic similar to this on a few occasions.  

 

  

 

Yes, many times, and it's never ended well, has it?

You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different end result.

Nice one Steve.  Lovely mood to this, very wistful and engaging.

Do you reckon I might need to post the original for our cross-pond cousins 🙂

I think you may 😉

Good, well written song Lynn, you certainly have developed a style all of your own over the years. Excellent turnaround into the hookline, very nice. The only thing I would crit is the drums, they seem a bit disconnected from the track; they're pushing along OK but not really responding to what's happening. 

It's even more weird when you call it 'St Patty's Day', when the Irish contraction of Patrick is 'Paddy' (Patrick is the English translation of Padraig, in Irish Gaelic) Patty is short for Patricia.

Gee James, you could of waited for International Pedantic's Day! 😆

 

(Have at it.)

It would be 'Pedant's Day'.

'Pedantic' is an adjective, not a noun.

Wow, quite an ambitious piece, reminiscent of Pink Floyd, and your vocal delivery is Roger Waters-like.  The first 3 minutes or so seemed a bit 'full-on' from the start, could maybe strip things back to start with then add instruments in to keep the interest up and build the arrangement. Lyrically it's a little bit obvious, I ended up playing 'guess the next rhyme' and got most of them right. Some cool stuff going on though, I liked the atmospheric bridging sections.

For anyone who was still seeing banner ads at the top of the forum, these should be gone now, too.

Clear now, thanks for sorting this.

Getting them even in my user profile page. Bye....

Ads all over posts now. W10 desktop.  That'll kill this place for me.

Scrub that, I'm seeing ads now. Yuck.
