Those Stupid Songs of Love - An Original Song

[obnokshus1]

This is lovely. I have no idea how I found it LOL but you have a beautiful voice. This isn't my style of music personally but it sounds really nice.

It is difficult to get balanced sound levels for guitar and vocals when using video. Thanks for the vids and hope you add some more a some stage.

[boniwee]

@boniwee

Many thanks, Boniwee. Your comments are very much appreciated. Very busy with my job these days, but compliments such as yours give me the inspiration to pick up the guitar again . . . now which way round does it go again . . . ?

p.s. YouTube have made it harder to find info these days, but my lyrics are actually there, somewhere, on the page.

Cheers.

Alan.

Glad you're happily going mad! heh heh.

I told you Joan Baez is coming in two weeks? A life treat for me.

There's a kid that I've started talking to. Plays classical guitar. Developing and very talented. Needs a little heart. I think you'll like him. Take care.

Hi, Deborah.

Again, my apologies for my slowness to reply, but again, just snowed under with things to do at the moment. Really hope you enjoy the visit by Joan Baez. I'm hoping to find time to continue analysing Janis Ian's 'At Seventeen' . . . just about finished learning the first verse now.

Best wishes.

Alan.

[Songsmirth]

Allen,

Anything new??  Let me know please!

Deborah

[salixarbour]

Hi, Deborah.

Sorry I've not gotten back to you yet; just mad busy these days. Although, I've finally managed to visit the local folk club a couple of times in the past few weeks, and that's been nice again. Presently, just started working on Janis Ian's 'At Seventeen' and I'm looking forward to performing it maybe in the early summer.

Take care.

Alan. :-)

[TomRAFC]

hey, is there any chance of getting this in an mp3 form as i'd love to be able to listen to it on a nice long late night walk.

[salixarbour]

Hi, Tom.

I'm not sure! I'll have to see if I can extract an mp3 from the AVI video I originally made. ???

Hmm, interesting! :-)

Alan.

[Songsmirth]

Merry Thanksgiving Alan!

Just wanted to thank you for all the times I play this on my favorite playlist. To me you're up there with Josh Groban, Laura Branigan, Pavoritti and Andrea Bocelli.

You'll keep writing and I hope you'll keep sharing with us.

[salixarbour]

Merry Thanksgiving to you too, Deborah.

You know, we don't have this festival at all over here in the UK? In fact we get a bit confused by it I suppose - different days: September with the Pilgrims, October in Canada & November in the USA! :-) I'm sure it'll catch on here too soon though, perhaps in December!!! :-)

Many thanks also for your lovely compliments: I must be spending too much time at work these days, though you've now inspired me to write again.

Very best wishes.

Alan.

[kleckshexe]

wow, consider me a fan! You're fantastic. I wish I could play the guitar like that

[salixarbour]

Vielen Dank, kleckshexe.

Und Ich möchte mein Deutsch besser war. . . wie das Ihre! :-)

Alan.

[Songsmirth]

Still love it.  Written any others Alan?

[abbeyharry1952]

you are a man of great talent-that was lovely-thankyou once again

[Songsmirth]

I'm so impressed with this song Alan. Could I have the words? Some I can't quite make out. This is yours, yes?

[salixarbour]

Hi, Deborah. Yes, this is my song! :-) The lyrics are freely available alongside my video, as part of the usual text. I wish I had more time to write; it's wonderful the way each song touches each individual differently.

Best wishes.

Alan.

[diedaniel]

its good keep it up posted more songs peace

[rfiguesa]

I was looking for a song to inspire me cause i am writing a story of deception. You are really a great compositor. From Lima - Perú (South America) well done, keep doing it.

PD : sorry for my english

[salixarbour]

Hi, rosefiguesa. You are very kind, muchas gracias. Your English is wonderful by the way. Hope you find that inspiration for your story.

Best wishes.

Alan.

[501W]

Great song! don't you fear somebody may stole it??

Keep on the good work!

[salixarbour]

Hi, 501W. Thanks. Glad you like this song. My songs are recorded onto CD, placed into sealed envelopes, then posted back to myself via recorded delivery. This should be enough as proof of having written the material! :-)

Cheers.

Alan.

[501W]

I do exactly the same, but even then I don

[501W]

't feel confident enough to publish them. I didn't know this was a worldwide "trick" hehehe.

See ya!

[salixarbour]

Lol, 501W. It's been around a long time, but I suppose it's good enough. Hey, wouldn't it be flattering if someone else learned one of our songs?! :-)

Best Wishes.

Alan.

[501W]

Learned yes, claim it was theirs and made money using our music not...maybe i am just being over

cautious.

[hitman261]

[muasis]

Mark

[salixarbour]

Thanks, Mark.

Did you notice that wall paper behind me is John's blown vinyl? :-)

Alan.

[muasis]

I did not notice it until you said it :-)

The accoustics sound pretty good

[Luthval]

Nice one, like it very much...

Thanks Alan !

Friendly,

Val

[salixarbour]

Just 7-8 months to wait now I hope!

Bien amicalement.

Alan.

[coolanddark]
