Hehehe!
I have the Flab Four choir as a homage to the Beatles, so the band is now the Creakin' Bones in homage to Mick and Keef grin (That name may change as I think about it a bit more).

Glad you liked it! After all it was your idea, thank you.

take care

Sorry! I now recall your Welsh heritage - feel free to call me a Queenslander.


No worries Peter, no need to apologise as my huff was meant as a joke! grin. We may be part of the United Kingdom but this unity falls apart when sport is involved!!
I like your guitar playing as in your latest song, wonderful

I think early Beatles sounds about right-that is some 4 hour project. The mix is very good and I really enjoyed the lyrics.

A fun, Gibsonesque rocker!! This song is quite a hoot, made even better by the back story. The arrangement is great and there's a live feel to the mix. I think having a cold just added some appropriate character to the vocal. Another Gibson classic!! Take care. Greg

The cold definitely works! That's the kind of voice that people smoke for years to try and achieve... you're lucky you're only one cold away from an attitude-laden rasp laugh

What a song Alyn! And in only 4 hours? Very impressed! Your cold lent to the vocal very nicely... and I loved the harmonica part too!

This is our "Hot Forum Topic" for today!

I also think this is more Stones then Beatles, but whatever, I think this is an excellent song.

I lived through a British invasion now I'm living through a Welsh invasion. I just hope that the Irish don't catch wind of these invasions grin

Ducking and running for cover.

Thanks Mario grin no need to hide! I would bring gifts, like Lava bread and beer!

Glad you enjoyed my bit of Welsh Rock!

take care

Thank you,
everything just flowed with this song and I could NOT have done it so fast without BIAB.
Thanks for the praise for the mix and the bit of "drinking humour" in the lyrics crazy grin

Read through a few comments and couldn't wait to hear the latest Gibsonized masterpiece....

"... floyd gave me the idea and it deteriorated from there rather quickly."

This deteriorated into quite a nice tune.

Style??? Maybe a Lennon/McCartney penned Stones hit taken into the stratosphere by Gibson...

Enjoyed this one a lot.

Alyn, I know you said you put it together quickly, believe me I know what your talking about, but it's still a neat song. I kind of envision Neal Young sitting in with the Beatles at the Cavern Club on this one. Thanks, Torrey.
