you are correct i like to be happy n cheerfull.
thats me to a T.
n basically have fun whatever the singing genre.
ive sung in the past in cathedrals, R n R bands, punk, metal,
and gilbert n sullivan n lots of other genres.
in summary..some folks like doing up old cars.
me..its fun doing songs and singing.
whther comical or serious songs.
my approach to doing songs is very simple as follows.
(and i believe a healthy one cos ive seen too many songwriters
tear their hair out.)
whether my own or other folks songs ..i follow certain rules.
1.i try n do the very very best i can with any song.
i give it 100 per cent.
2.but at the same time i dont let the song consume me out of
all propoirtion and take over my life...balance in life etc etc.
3.i accept that often i fail but sometimes i might have
hopefully the occasional small successes.
4.if a song just isnt happening (in one of my own songs)
then thats often a clue to me that mebe my song idea isnt strong enough.
my other clue from haveing done a few hundred songs over the years
is if i need too many traks i start to question once again my song concept.
5.i put my efforts out there , and if i get arrows in the back
i accept that without fear cos it comes with the gig.
6.whether i'm useing junk gear or great gear..
i use whatever is on hand.
and finally my last rule.
HAVE LOTSA FUN IRRESPECTIVE.

and thats moi in a nutshell..just a party bloke..lol.
god bless.
