PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase I Lost My Way (new song)

Thanks Rog for the huge compliment. Guitar hacker had made comment to the Zombies sound, maybe it was a reference to Colin Blunstone vocals?

As for my musical history. .............

Only about 15 years ago I answered an advertisement for a group looking for a lead singer to peform covers of 60;s numbers( The 60's is cropping up again!)and do private gigs in the Cheshire,Lncashire & Merseyside areas. I was in my mid 40's,( knocking on a bit to start a career LOL )

The other guys were good musicains and had been gigging during the sixties, in fact our bass player(Terry Benson) had been a member of 'The Lancastrians' who had a hit in 1963 with a song called 'We'll sing in the sunshine' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lancastrians

WE were together for about 5 years until I took early retirement and moved out here to Bulgaria, 'the boys' still practice together most Fridays and still gig occasionally.

Since I enjoyed music and was now retired, I started to write some songs of my own, but my lack of playing ability on any instrument is a handicap.
I do know a few chords on guitar, I can play a keyboard 'by ear' using one hand and know a little about music theory.

Since living in Bulgaria, my friend and lead guitar player of our 60's cover group produced and played in 2 songs that I had written and another freind helped with bass and drums on another song.

Unfortuantley these guys are busy doing other things and so my song writing had come to a virtual halt until,.......... I found BIAB! I may not get exactly what I want for my songs but it allows me to share my music to some degree of acceptable quality without spending zillions on expensive programmes.

The production side of things, mixing mastering is a complete new world to me but the internet is a marvellous place to learnwhere I learn albeit. slowly, slowly.

Congratulations to you too on giving free lessons to guys like me who may aspire to being able to play a barre chord.

..............and to finally answer your wonderful comments Rog, Yes I do hail from Gods own county of Yorkshire. From the Leeds area. In fact we shall be visiting there soon at a family wedding at Follifoot.
All the Best
