Keywords Stenhousemuir Canal Singers. (1)
Description She says 'It's time to go. I look up - stare. She says 'Forget it, you're not going anywhere." Am I in ? Or am I out? Do I really want to show her what it's all about?
Is this coked-up nut from a bar pushing things way too far?
So begins this strange narrative and internal dialogue while The Gospel Choir Of St Sammy The Balmy join in for the chorus. Developed on GB then fucked about with in logic - that in itself should be enough. I think this is in C sharp... but I can't be arsed to check. Is it? This choon started out as a folk song on guitar then ran off and joined the circus.
Hardware Fender strat,roland ep3. cock.
Software: GB,Logic

You are hereby proclaimed a member of The Stennhousemiur Canal Singers.
Congratulations!

lengold said 235 days ago
Another classic
song Johnny Boy and the step up in production is evident.
Cheers
Lenners



thoddi said 235 days ago
oh yeah
Smooth jazzy soul stuff with a good feel to it. Pretty sexy groove. This funky groove sounded pretty pro to me.

Did you play all this stuff by yourself? I'm impressed! This sounds soooo good. That outtro was pretty nifty and fast played... Good melody, composition, performance, production... Your vocals are mixed to perfection, and delivered with confidence. Bottom line%u2026 you sound awesome!

Smoooth hat Thoddi
Diggin your hat baby and your input.

jiguma said 235 days ago

BPJ - everything you do breaks new ground in its own way. I haven't heard a bass line like this from you before - funkadelic! Great vocals and a real ear for what makes a good song.

Love it!

Neil

I read your blog Jiggsy
Sometimes as you will no doubt concur life is a beach or is it a bleach? This is white plastic soul as Biba so decrees. Would you be interested in joining the Canal choral group as temporary yet paradoxically eternal vice president? I read your blog Jiggers it's all groovy.

jiguma said 234 days ago
Always ..
.. in for a tad of choral canal work :)

Merci beaucoup,
Je suis tres chuffed. Mr Danny Hurren with a E plays the bassline on this choon.

Mystified said 235 days ago
the circus does wonders...
...for folk songs, or so I've heard ;)

Or maybe I just listened to this track...
Fab singing--the chorus work is amazing, and the production so clean.

Yeah...my ears are very happy.
I'll echo Bryn: Brilliant stuff

bonnieprincejohnny said 234 days ago
Mysti
Thank you for commenting on this wee choon that went off to join the circus.

Moviz said 235 days ago
Love this
very 70's feel you've got going here. Great vocals and great instrumentation too.... and these are hot harmonies too... Love the backing group (LOL) and the great arrangement BPJ, good stuff, cheers M

bonnieprincejohnny said 233 days ago
Mo baby...
y'know how much I like your vibe - many happy returns.

chipan said 235 days ago
Good man

chip

bonnieprincejohnny said 233 days ago
Hey Chip!
Great name man, I like that... Chip.Wow. Kudos unto thee Lord Chip.

Bon Chance Chanson
Another delightful, breezy tune, Johnny.

I must admit the brief intro had me thinking we were going to get a bit of Barry White. ;)

Lots of nice vocal and musical interplay in here and a cool runabout guitar outro. Some other interesting guitar touches throughout.

There were a couple spots in here where I thought some harmonized *oohs* would have worked better than harmonizing on the actual lyrics being sung, but really just a minor nit. All in all, another good one. ;)

Joey baby!
Digging your new avatar Joe - seriously man you and that wee dug look like Saintly beings (that's not to imply that you are not). I've been thinking about giving it a bit of the auld oohs n' ahs lately but rather than revisit Goodman... because I'm up to my limit on listening to it again until at least 34 years have elapsed , then I'll write a new choon and include some specials oohs just for you-hoo-hoo - and yer wee dug. Be lucky Joe.

dajama said 235 days ago
this is terrific
Love the sounds, and playing fantastic. Nice drums, and the bass is sweet. The lyrics are great. A good man with bad luck? I think I know that guy...Nicely done. Peace.

bonnieprincejohnny said 231 days ago
You know the guy?
Of course you do it's me n'you. Look after yourself buddy.

Monkaton said 235 days ago
Great Title
Great idea for a song. I liked the harmonies and the chorus is good also.

Nice arrangement.

bonnieprincejohnny said 231 days ago
How did you compress....
your avatar? Monks honey cheers for the comment.

massa said 234 days ago
Awsome!
Another great song from you!!! cool feeling, nice vocals! Just awsome!

damiengh said 234 days ago
better all the time
Your wrestling with your tunes and search for perfection, always seem to pay off in the long run as this one surely proves.

This one is ready for the big show.


BossHook said 232 days ago
Blue eyed
soulful and edgy enough to remind me of Strummer and that false ending is cool.

HenriROGERsoloandbands said 175 days ago
C sharp ?

Anyway, I like this song , the vocals , the backing and the surprising bridge .

tempie said 104 days ago
great fun
i've been making my way through your stuff and i love this groove, love the punk and loose vocals over the tight funk composition, great fun.
