Oh dear, four days away and I’m already way behind
@pkboo3 Thanks Pam
It was a fun song to learn and it’s one you can actually sing at a gathering without any musical accompaniment (a bit of table banging in the chorus adds atmosphere ).
Isn’t that a difficult strumming pattern when you first try it?
I know the odd song by the Pogues, though not this one.
Always found their songs got your foot tapping. This was no different.
Definitely suites your delivery style. A grand job.
Hi Joe, (doesn’t ring quite right ). Much appreciate the listen and thumbs up. Thank you
An appropriate bump, with Paddy’s Day this week
@Digger72 Always good to hear from you Steve, hope you’re doing ok?
I’m keeping well, thanks for asking
I’m a bit wary of too much diddly-idly but you never know what the future holds
I’m trying to learn a song from Justin’s lessons with a bit of note picking along with a non-intuitive strumming pattern, which is going to take me forever…
I got distracted and needed a quick-fix-fun song. @Pilhas reminded me of a Placebo album I used to listen to, so I chose on of those.
Astute observers will note, not only did I dress CNDy with a new set of strings, but retouched her mascara and oiled the fretboard so I could go faster
I’m saving the planet, so no heating. That’s why I’m sporting the dressing gown my dear mum made me forty years ago
Listen carefully and you can hear my neighbours banging on the walls to get me to shut up
Hey, I kept it under 3 minutes!
Nice version Brian. Very enjoyable singing and playing.
How rude of the neighbours, you should pop round and ask them for their £3 listening fee. A hoodie and a dressing gown is a new look to me but you rocked it.
Haha, you saved me from my vanity, Stefan
I was doing a bit of ‘housekeeping’ this morning, wondering whether I should give Sally McLennane a cheeky bump for Paddy’s Day, (but secretly also to draw attention to the Placebo tune I tagged on )
I was starting to wonder if thick-skinned Rogier was the last of my disciples…
Cheers for the compliments, mate.
Here’s a tribute from author Roddy Doyle (The Commitments, The Van & The Snapper…)
-Sad about Shane McGowan, isn’t it? -Did yeh ever see the Pogues? -No. Yourself? -Years an’ years ago. In the SFX Centre. D’you remember the SFX Centre? -I do, yeah. There used to be great gigs there – after the bingo. -I don’t know if the Pogues were on after the fuckin’ bingo, but anyway – I was goin’ in and this fella in front of me says there was a rumour goin’ round tha’ Shane was goin’ to die onstage tha’ night. -Wha’!? -Swear to God. Must be nearly forty years ago. They were half-expectin’ him die. -Cos of his lifestyle? -Yeah. -An’ he only died yesterday. -Gas, isn’t it? -Fair fuckin’ play to him. -There’s hope for us all. Those Pogues songs, but – they get better as we get older, don’t they? -Better an’ better. -Rainy Night in Soho. -Fuckin’ hell, what a song. -An’ his voice is perfect in it. -Perfect. -Look what I got on me way here. -A packet of fags? You gave them up fuckin’ years ago. -I’m back on them – just for tonight. For Shane. -An’ chasers with the pints. -The Shane McGowan diet. -Bang on. The man was a fuckin’ genius.
As Iv’e discovered, any flubs stand out to the ear of the performer but are usually missed by the audience. Sounded perfect to me. And a fun tune for sure. Nice job. Enjoyed!
@Weath72 Cheers, mate
They had some cracking songs alright
@tRONd Mange tak
Rum, Sodomy and the Lash would be a good place to start
@sairfingers You can blame the bump on @Richard_close2u. I suspect his real motivation was to remind us how he goes above and beyond in trying to help us beyond our musical limitations
@MiJoy Cheers for the listen and positive comments. Much appreciated
