<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>I have a brand new song, "Words And Music". This song was a first for me, as it is TOTALLY improvised and is as such a first take recording. I was playing around with a different tuning to see what may come up and this is what happened.</p>
<p>Cheers, Phil</p>

<p>BraceImpact is one song away from the majic 10.&nbsp; There is a new note in the BIO section of the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/braceimpact/" target="_blank">websitehttp://www.mixposure.com/braceimpact/</a></p>
<p>Stay tuned folks..<br />KED</p>

<p>I recently got an email from "TAXI" and I thought it was going to be about signing up with them, but it wasn't.</p>
<p>It was all about writing a great song. So I just thought I'd ask all of you here at Mix, what makes a song great? How would you try to write a great song? Have you heard a indie artist who wrote a great song and why would you say it was great?</p>
<p>I was just reading a book called "Tunesmith" by Jimmy Webb and have been podering how to better my craft and exactly how elusive is that great song?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>A number of site members (both here and at the old mixposure) have asked me about the white Gibson SG that appears in some of my photos. Each time it has been raised I have felt a trickle of tears run down my cheek.</p>
<p>I bought the guitar in 1973. In about 1975 after a particularly good gig, our bass player, who had drunk more than usual that night, tripped over the guitar causing it to crash to the ground and snapping it at the nut. The first attempted repair was a disaster. I think the guy just stuck it back on with Perkins Paste and it only lasted about a fortnight. Then&nbsp;I found a really good luthier who did a great repair job. It lasted from 1975 till a few years ago. Unfortunately the old case had disintegrated and the replacement I got for it was a bit tight. That wasn't normally a problem because being lazy I rarely put it into its case. But just before going on holidays some years ago I decided to put it in the case and when I came back from holidays it had snapped again.</p>
<p>I took it to a guitar shop and they sent it out to a luthier for repair. I needed to have a replacement and being unable to justify the purchase of another Gibson I got a good deal on a PRS which has served me well. After some months the luthier got back to me with a quote which seemed reasonable and I asked him to go ahead. Heard nothing. Had lost his number and couldn't remember his name.</p>
<p>As luck would have it I was looking for someone to give my acoustic a bit of a service and googled luthiers in Sydney. I saw a name that jogged my memory, and sure enough it was the guy who was repairing the Gibson. I emailed him and he rang to say he'd finished it years ago and it had been sitting in his workshop. He'd lost my contact details too.</p>
<p>So today I went and picked it up. He seems to have done a great job on it. It appears seemingly undetectable to my "failing eyes". Anyway, nice to have it home.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Thanks again to Mike, Dazed and all the mixposure crew for the opportunity to participate in yesterday's Centre State Presentation on Mike's SNR radio show.</p>
<p>It was a real buzz to have so many fellow members in the chatroom and I thank you all for the really kind comments.</p>
<p>Those who were there at the time might remember that Mike played "Light the Flame" from my debut CD "N.I.C". I had only realised a couple of days ago that I've hardly posted any of the tracks from that CD on mixposure. So to avoid any accusation that Mike is outsourcing tracks for his show I thought I'd better post "Light the Flame".</p>
<p>Apologies for dropping out from time to time during the show. We were in the wilds of northern NSW, heading to a "hippy market" and despite my assurances to my daughter that my laptop modem had never been out of range for service.....well it had to happen then, didn't it.</p>
<p>Thanks again. And if you haven't had the opportunity of picking up Mike's show you're missing a great opportunity to listen to some great music and share some wonderful camaraderie with your fellow members in the chat-room.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
