It's a change from the style of the last one, but the blues is what I really like best. The backing has been kept simple using just piano, guitar, bass and drums. The idea is that it should sound like something in a nightclub from a Bogart movie. I'm playing lead and rhythm guitars, ROG is playing bass, the piano is a MIDI supertrack apart from the bridge which Roger played and the drums are RealDrums. I'm grateful to Andy for coming in and doing such a great job with the vocals. STILL PLAYING THE GAME No one knows you, you're living in a secret world I try to help you, but nothing ever seems to work Changes are coming, but I haven't seen them yet The road may wander, there's people that you still haven't met. Behind those cold eyes there's another troubled mind Stare into the distance you never know what you will find Changes are coming, nothing ever stays the same Behind that cold smile you're still playing the game Don't play the fool 'cos, it's not cool 'cos Underneath we're all the same Behind the dark eyes, it's no disguise 'Cos you still play the game I hope there's enough blues fans out there to give it a listen. Thanks, Nigel.

An excellent piece of writing to capture that old-style nightclub feel, particularly as it's only your second submission here. Keep up the good work. ROG. Free online guitar lessons.
