I look forward to listening to your song when I get home as I have no speaker on my works PC.

I'm sure it will blow my socks off.....I'll let you know !!

Hey Eddie,

I'm serious when I say this....Your rendition of Joe Diffie's HonkyTonk Attitude has made my morning!! The spoken word at the end kind of sums it up, doesn't it?

What keyboard did you use for that? Sounds great.

mike

Hi Mike

You have email

Hi Eddie,
I made a mistake and downloaded the wrong file first, 'Noviy Den'. Very swish singing in Russian. Very melodic though and it did not matter that I could not understand the words .... I still enjoyed it.

Having said that I really enjoyed the English version. It really is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics.
Very nice and keep em coming
Very Best to you
Tony

Thanks for your kind words.
I especially appreciate that you liked my lyrics. It needed quite a few sheets of A4 before I was satisfied with the final print.!
As for more of the same?!! I think your courage should be recognised

Eddie,
You know I've heard and commented on this cut before. The cut I really liked was "Funkin Jazz."

Eddie, thanks for the link to your web site. I listened to a couple songs so far and I have to say I really liked "Honky Tonk Blues". You sound like a true Texan in that song. Btw, that's a compliment. If you live in the UK you must be transplanted from downtown El Paso TX Eddie. I would guess from the sound of your accent you've maybe lived in the UK at most 3 years?!?!? Or does that accent just appear when you sing?? Either way I like it.

Again, I really enjoyed the song Eddie. Thanks for sharing your music with us.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi all

@ Terry : Yes Terry, I know you as a true gentleman who always takes the time to encourage the amateurs, and that is really appreciated, thanks.

@Mike (Keybplayer)
Thanks for your appreciation Mike.
No, I am not from TX (but would love some of their weather at the moment). Born and bred in Yorkshire in little old England and always ready to further my local accent at the right time! But all my life I have been fascinated by languages and accents and when I sing something typically American I try to sing in the accent. No doubt, the locals will not agree with my attempts
@ Mike (Nardoni2002)
You probably know that they are running some repeats of 'Only Fools and Horses' on UKTV at the moment and I never miss a single one. THey are absolutely fabulous and worth seeing time and time again.You obviously also like them because you have picked out your favourite phrases! I wonder if they are shown on States TV?
cheers

hi eddie,yep i like your russian song as well,i,ll watch out for the trotters xmas,i have SKY,mike

Ayup, our Eddie!

I've seen Only Fools and Horses on the tube here in Canada. It was a while ago and I can't remember if it was on a Canadian channel or on one of the U.S. public stations (PBS out of Spokane). I love anything David Jason (White) does. My mum and his mum were great friends when I was growing up in Norf London.

Hi Renig,

Is his real name then David Jason White?
What an actor he is! He got the UK Long Time Award for Comedy last year and since finishing the series of Only Fools he now does a superb weekly series of 'Frost' in which he plays Inspector Jack Frost. I was a bit unsure of his new role when I first saw it , simply because we all knew him as the 'wide' Del Boy for so long. But we are now just as keen on his role as Jack Frost and look forward to every episode.
Did you actually know David Jason as a young man? Thanks for the interesting letter.
cheers
Eddie J

Hello Eddie,

David White is David Jason's real name and although our mums were really good friends, he is a few years older than myself. So when I was about 7, he would have been around 11 or 12 - so at that age that's quite a difference and I suppose I would have been regarded as a bit of a pest to have around. (Funny, some folk still feel that way :-)

Yes, we do get a weekly dose of A Touch of Frost here - another wonderful show. David Jason's real life older brother Arthur (he still goes by his given name of Arthur White) also appears in 'Frost' as Ernie, the bloke who works in the basement keeping case files. He only appears now and then.

All the best,
renig

Hi Eddie, Quite an eclectic mix. What I notice right off is that you're 'having fun' when performing. Some nice melodic ideas on both Promises & Funkin' Jazz. It would be great if you could add 'vocal lyrics' to these tunes.

Eddie, your talk-sing approach & attitude is unique, definitely easy to understand every word. On 'New Day',it kind of reminds me of Leonard Cohen. - Scott

@Renig
Hi Renig

What a mine of information you are! Next time I watch, I shall be looking out for 'Ernie'. There is probably a family likeness with David. This will be interesting to see.

@Scott
Hi Scott
Thanks for your kind words.
Perhaps the "eclectic mix" comes from a long time of listening to and enjoying all kinds of music. As a 9 year-old I was playing and loving Chopin. I think that then the influence of America and movies took over my keen ear for music. And I am grateful for the international media which brought it to us.
As for putting lyrics to the two jazz pieces I put together - now there's an original thought . I definitely had not thought of that, but the old grey matter has just sparked a few more spondees.
Leonard Cohen? Now you are embarrassing me because I admit that for the moment I cannot work out just which Leonard Cohen you refer to. .
But you are absolutely right to say that I really enjoy talk/singing along to the music in my own way. And the reason for that is partly due to not being able to hit the higher notes now

cheers
Eddie J

You mean there are 2 Leonard Cohens?

Sorry, couldn't resist it Eddie

Merry Christmas

Will

Hi Will
Nice to hear from a far northern friend to a colonial brother (I think we are being taken over by the Scots )

Yes there are probably several million Leonard Cohen's around. I hope that the one Scott Yee refers to is a good singer
Merry Christmas and an even better Hogmanay
cheers
Eddie
