 HI Alan

    yeah i'm with paulski on that i did visit quite a few times
    what can i say i enjoy your songs / vocal

    but please don't worry about the lyrics you wrote in place of mine
    if it's your melody then that's your choice,
    so i wouldn't want writers credit for that

    just as the original lyrics to HOBO I RIDE THE RAILS belong to me
    and i know it goes both ways
    i can and will put the lyrics out there for someone else to do
    
                 so no worries there Alan,

                  PS but i do still prefer the HOBO song

                 PS AGAIN, this has left me confused now

   where does this leave the song   HOBO I RIDE THE RAILS  have you taken the music
   off our collab
   does it mean now that HOBO  is just lyrics again
   or is HOBO still a complete song cause i've been promoting it on twitter

                       could you please let me know where i stand Alan

Hi Benjo,

Our collaboration on Hobo is unaffected as far as I'm concerned. No reason why the same melody can't be used for 2 songs. No reason to panic

 HEY ALAN,

 thanks so much for clearing that up, i did feel a bit sick if i'm honest
 because i love the hobo song and to me the lyrics & music just fit perfect

 so i'm really glad to hear that mate,

                         CHEERS BUD TAKE CARE

Hi Alan,

takes me back to songs my dad liked from the 50s and early 60s, a very happy memory. Great words, history is a funny thing, the only thing that's remembered about the south is the racism not the large scale "theft" of land and property by the victorious north.

I really liked the singing, your voice has a hint of The Seekers about it. My first purchase was Mornington Ride, which I still play, so this is meant as a compliment.

A very nice way to spend a Sunday morning,

Keith
