Got told a funny story yesterday.  A friend of mine was at an airshow last year (we're both in that industry) and he was down at a place called North Weald.  Anyway, he is in the flying club-house, looking out the window and he sees a beautiful, reconditioned, Tigermoth and says out loud 'F*!k me, that is nice'......In the corner a bloke drops down his newspaper and says, 'Is isn't it!'.  They talk for a bit and my mate says, 'So, do you fly for a living?'....'No, just a hobby, I guess i'm a retired musician'.  My mate, as always on the ball said, 'Oh, what band?' and the guy replies, 'probably before your time....you might have heard of them....PINK FLOYD!!'

Well this is my first post.......this is all pretty new to me, both the 'blog' and the music. I never had any form of training in music but have pretty much spent my entire life making up tunes and whistling them! I decided about 2 years ago to put them down and so taught myself how to play the piano, albeit at a level where I could make sense of my 'tunes' and play what I was actually whistling! Since then, I have written a whole bunch (fifty-odd at the last count) but suffer from 'new idea, new tune, new lyrics' syndrome when halfway through another one! The downside is I have to try and discipline myself into finishing each one before starting the next. The upside is I end up with a whole lot of, albeit unfinished, material.
