Off Topic i could write a country song

[DTG]

sorry guys if this is way off topic i just needed to vent a bit

we had a house fire,our heat pump blew up and only we where at home we would have lost the house.but it did manage to do about €20,000 worth of damage.everybody got out and we are all fine and healthy.

my dog is in the vets having an operation...

today i was ment to fly off with the family for a break in the sun for 10 days but that big ould volcane in iceland has closed half the world,its an act of god so the insurance wont cover it and anyway this was my only week off without gigs so i cant rebook it.

thanks for letting me moan.

on the good side

a) none of my family got hurt in the fire and all my basses where on the other side of the house so they are all cool too (i cant imagine having to tell BP i burnt my 25th !!)

B) my dog will be fine just needs a bit of TLC

c)we are having a bit of a heatwave in Ireland so i dont mind having the weekend off

D)tomorrow i am going to cook BP's hawian pork loin

now off to pratice on my 25th 5 HSS !!

Cheers
Dave

I think it should be a Blues song !!

Glad you're all safe and the dog is okay!

 

[oli@bass]

Should be a "fire" song... would be in good neighbourhood: Firestarter, Fight Fire With Fire, This House Is On Fire, Ring Of Fire, Light My Fire, Rapid Fire, Fire, In The Fire, Start The Fire, Trail Of Fire, Fuel My Fire, Child Of Fire, Cold Fire, Open Fire, Feels Like Fire, The Unforgettable Fire, and that's just a few of them.... Jeeeeeez wouldn't have thought there's so many songs about it.


Glad that no humans, pets and basses were hurt in the catastrophy!!!

The Blues according to DTG

Woke up early this morning...
woke up early this morning we was gonna go to Te-ne-rife…
oh yeah that’s right Tenerife, that's what I said.

But it wasn’t the wife that got me up, oh no no no, it was the goddarn smoke alarm in the boiler room, yeah that’s right, boiler room, that’s what I said.

Oh Lordy Lord, Jaysus and Mary J. Blige,
The heat pump’s busted, and it's 20 grand damage, now that’s not right
I said Oh Lordy Lord, Jaysus and Mary J. Blige,
The heat pump’s busted, 20 fooken' grand damage, now that’s not right, no no no

Please just let me moan, let me moan, let me moan...
because soon i'm gonna need a goddamn loan
yes a loan... interest rate and loan protection scheme...
Oh Lordy no no nooooo, if that wasn’t bad enough
If that wasn’t bad enough… Oh Lordy Lord, Jaysus and Mary J. Blige.
the dog ‘s dropped a bollock, the vet says 200 up front, and he wants it tonight!

“Guitar solo”

The wife wants a holiday, Oh Lordy Lord, Jaysus and Mary J. Blige.
but the Iceland volcano ash has closed all the airports and there’s no flights.
No holiday - no refund Oh Lordy Lord, Jaysus and Mary J. Blige.
And I can’t go next week because all my gigs are booked out right oh yeah flippin' Mary J. Blige

hear me out please hear me out... for there's a tunnel at the end of this light...
hear me out please hear me out... for there's a tunnel at the end of this light...

my wife, the kids and the basses are alright yes they’re alright.
I SAID (shouting) MY WIFE, THE KIDS, THE BASSES AND EVEN THE DOG THEY ARE ALRIGHT YES THEY’RE ALRIGHT!!

Hell I didn't even bend a goddamn knob on my 25th... (pause) cymbals roll with brushes....
an-ni-vois-a-ry!
