Hello All,

I have recently bought a domain name and taking into account the comments after my last website rebuild have changed my site completely seeing as I had to move it to the new server anyway.

Worry not.....I have not put any new songs up so I am not nagging you all to listen to my stuff!(though if you want to I won't stop you )

But I would be grateful for any comments on the site now. I have used flash but I think most peeps have the flash player installed these days.....If you don't I think it should give you the option of downloading the plug in player.

It is not finished yet. Most stuff works but is a little rough around the edges so any suggestions are better now than later when I get fed up of messing with it!
Many thanks in antici pation!
Tony W

Wow Tony! Quite an impressive Flash site. What software program was used to create it? Is it a lot more difficult to produce a Flash based site than a standard website? I like the way the way the background shifts when you roll the mouse over it. My only suggestion would be that you create some kind of font/color change when you mouse over your 'song title' & 'art drawing' links. I look forward to checking your website again as it progresses.

Tony: I'm blown away by your humorous prose & wittisism on your latest song: 'Stiff Upper Lip', with your campy look at English culture. Mr. Coward would surely approve. Your able piano playing is fittingly appropriate to the song as well. Curious what Yamaha(?) piano patch (voice) and 'style' were used? Though I'm able to easily make out most (90%) of the song's lyrics, it would be great if you could also post the words in their entirity here or on your website. Tony: You're definitely on your way to producing a 'smash' hit musical. Keep m' coming! - Scott

Hi Gary Donny & Scott,
Ta very much for checking out my site. I am not too sure about the design yet so it still may all change

Donny I am glad you find that it loads quickly as that was one of my main concerns about using flash.

Scott I used swish max to create the site but the basic elements of the site that is up are from a template I got off the web. It was fairly easy therefore to edit it to my needs. Much of it was as simple as basic html editing. Some bits took a little longer but that is due to my lack of skill with swish! Kind of learned it as I went along!

Am really pleased you liked 'Stiff Upper Lip' I only wrote it because I could not sleep and it was a bit of fun. It was all really off the cuff stuff. However it seems to have generated more response (emails and such) than anything I have done before so I think it is a keeper

Here are the Lyrics you requested!

STIFF UPPER LIP.

A gentleman is never sad but often melancoly
Most Englishmen would deem it mad in public to be jolly
It is the English way. Well bred men should not be gay
So they keep it in with the help of Gin
And the English ladies say

CHORUS
Keep it up boys keep it stiff.
Yes let it stand straight out
All England does expect it and that is why they shout
Keep it up men keep it hard
You must not let it slip
An Englishman would be quite undone
He could be French or American
There's just one thing to distinguish one
The English upper lip.

The French it seems have lips that curl from drinking Chardonnay
Italian lips can kiss a girl in a quite romantic way
And as for Eskimo's. Why Kiss with lips they use their nose
So an Englishman must do what he can
That's why this ditty goes

CHORUS

Americans it must be said are wealthy and quite strong
With lips that may be healthy but they say their words all wrong
They always say tom-aa-to, Quite frankly it should be tomato
The Queen is sad that they speak so bad
It's potato not pot-aaa-to

Chorus.

Best to all
Tony

Outstanding page Tony! I'm working on a new one myself as I get time. I already have a new server but haven't finished the setup yet. I'm flattered that you have a link to my site. It will still be the same domain after I finish the new page.
Don

Tony ....Thanx for the link to my website..
I love your Songs & Lyrics too....
Very Witty Indeed!

Good Luck My Friend across the pond!!

Tony: Many Thanks for posting your 'complete' lyrics to "Stiff Upper Lips". BRAVO! Your keen sense of wit clearly looks to be inspired by the likes of: Cole Porter, Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde. You're in fine company.

btw: I too am flattered that you provided a link to my website. Thanks Tony.

Scott
