I have recently started using .swf format to share songs and also for my website. these files are considerably smaller than mp3 with no loss of quality, and further, there is the possibility of embedding the music in pleasing, (or otherweise), images with some very nice Flash effects. 

I'm now using these files for my website and finding them very easy to share online...

Here is a sample, so anyone wishing to comment please do so,and let me know what you think.......

Whilst I am not complaining, because it is nice to notice that there are people who appreciate my musical enrgies enough to download them, don't you think it strange, that during the first year when I had most at a price of between $0.50 and $1.00 nobody bothered ... only one (Thanks a lot Rob !) ... and during that time I had a total of around 67 or 69 downloads .. .

Since I returned to here and made everything free to downlaod ...wow ... almost 700 in about a month!! Pity I didn't get 50 cents a go fr those !! hahah

I dunno if it's the state of the woprld economy which causes this phenomena , or just human natuyre...but I have to admit I'd rather have it free than have to pay for it !! )))

Just one thing...I WILL be putting 'Sleeping Dragons' back up at ONE DOLLAR so PLEASE download it for that paltry sum...or I SHALL AWAKEN THE DRAGONS!! the proceeds got to an Animal Charity

Thanks for your support...free or otherwise the downloads give me encouragement to do more work and try to improve on the older ones.

<p>Well, I am astounded by your words my friends. I thought it may get something but not quite this !! Thanks so much for your comments...and nice to here from you all! Tomorrow I intend to add the lyrice myself just to give it a little more substance but ti would really need a female voice to bring it to life. I hope the lady herself will accept my request o add her own voice...it would carry so much more of her personality I feel...but if not, I&nbsp;shall be seeking a sweet and sultry voice form the Mix ---&gt;&nbsp;(Are you there Gina hahahah) Once again thanks for the comments ... they truly mean such a lot to me. - Gordon</p>

<p>(Firstly, something strange has happened to me recently - I have absolutely no idea what I have done in my life which was so very good that it merits this, but God has sent me one of his Angels. Wooooweeee)</p><p>Right then - now to what I am here for:</p><p>Anyone know of any decent luthiers suppliers i this god forsaken country of mine...or even Western Europe...(particularly France - any excuse to nip across the water )</p><p>it used to be so easy to fnd them...but now apparently they are few and far between.</p><p>I am looking for guitar parts,&nbsp;wood blanks, fret wire, bridge blanks etc&nbsp;etc, &nbsp;all the ususal paraphernalia for making of a nice instrument.</p><p>I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction </p><p>Thanks a lot</p><p>Gordon</p>

<p>Ah...well...in my haste to have a go at the contest...coz I want one of those lovely guitars!!! hahaha...but like everyone else nowadays...I don't want to have to pay for it...I uploaded a song I did during the past 2 months...enetered it with the (R)...and forgot I already have a much better one here...</p><p>So...I have altered the entry to Angel which I believe some of you do actually like a lot...so please please gimme some reviews...I need a break...been living in a shoe box and making music with a pair of spoons so help me...help me !!! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plea epas the word along to your friends fans...not to say review but at least to listen and review if they htink it merits it </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And look...I ma so confused with life I can't type correctly ;)</p>

http://www2.mixposure.com/Dragonstale/song_focus_10900.php<br /><br />I have remade Belle Amoureuse with the lyrics posted on the song page (see link above) as revised by my lovely Belle Amoureuse herself. Merci mon amour. Incidentally it's also a little longer now.<br /><br />Perhaps those of you who have taken the time to listen may like to go take another one..I htink it is a bit better, certainly the French is better.<br /><br />I'd appreciate any comments and critiques thereof....:)<br /><br />Thanks a lot <br /><br />Gordon

This bloody French thing is doing my head in!! hahaha...manging to get some sort of sense out of it is virtually impossible...(pour moi!!) Trying to write verse in French is the most difficult task I have ever embarked upon...methinks it would have been easier to go off with Ferdinand Mafellan to discover an unknown passage around the world into uncharted waters...exactly where I am now. And Ia m sinking rapidly...so if anyone out there got an inkling of rhyming in French...s'il vous plait...M'AIDEZ!!!<br /><br />TAke a listen...I have the first verse only done and then became 'brain dead' .. if can come up with somethign and perhaps even sing it...cud be a nice collab idea maybe....<br /><br />now where are all me Belgian friends??&nbsp; Je veux Francaise de la Belgique pour ca<br /><br />Alons alons, un et tout...alons et m'aidez vous!!! (See...I CAN do it, but not exactly romantic, is it!! Must be a love song...une chanson d'amour!!)<br /><br />Go here to listen:<br /><br />http://www.mixposure.com/dragonstale/song_focus_10409.php

...a passionate love...I shall not be around much for a while as I am indeed consumed and rather pre-occupied by the woman of my dreams!! New music will come when I get my brain back into the correct gear...could be a month or two though!!<br /><br />At the moment my musical talents are defunct...can't string two&nbsp;notes together, never mind a phrase!! hahaha!! <br /><br />But I ma writing lyrics in both French and English at an alarming rate.<br /><br />I may need to look for some help to make one of these lyrical love letters into a nice prog rock ballad (En Francaise) if anyone interested?&nbsp; I would be looking for a nice vocal and nice guitar...(You reading this Rick?!!!)<br /><br />Anyway, that'll be a while yet as have some amorous adventures to embark on both here and in Bruxelles, and at the moment those are taking up almost all of my time!<br /><br />Will be bak from time to time with maybe something ew which may appear in my head in a flash of ispiration!!<br /><br />Thanks to all my great friends here on the mix who support my miserable efforts with some nice comments<br /><br />Gordon<br />
