It is bed time goodnight my dear friends take care and dont be afraid of the dark huggs all have a great day love Vinny Pop

I believe that FHopkins is very much a man.

Middle 8 = 8bars, not war and peace. Unless ofcourse your composing an opus on tentacle bow for rigelian dignitaries of the seventh elevation. They expect the standard 3 orion nebula weeks.

Vinnypop by day and philosopher by night,
Vinnypop's his strat by the early mornin' light,

He's a travelin' man going as far as he wants,
without a care in the world and doesn't have a negative thought.

He's the bad man with the "'53" strat in his hand,
he's comin and going as far as he wants and only as he can,
cuz he's Vinnypop and he's a bad man.

Vinnypop by day and philosopher by night,
Vinnypop's his strat by the early mornin' light.

The vinnypop as we all came to know him,
he was a shady character,
one we would not follow,
all Vinnypop claims seemed so hollow.

The first strat in history was a hearty claim to be made,
but vinnypop trudged thru the doubt, ridicule and played,
the trem is '53 but the body is '61....now I'm afraid.

As the light came to be,
vinnypop turned a saint for all of us to see.
The fact that the '53 strat was not to be,
the words.....it's vietnamese you see,
put a chill thru all of us as was so plain to see.

Vinnypop by day and philosopher by night,
Vinnypop's his strat by the early mornin' light.

As the sun rose his resolve would get strong,
his friends on the forum did not steer him wrong,
he went to other lands to find the axe so true,
but in the end love was all he knew.

Vinnypop by day and philosopher by night,
Vinnypop's his strat by the early mornin' light.

Great job Trauma I like that. Great composition and it has a much better rhyme and meter to it. the philosopher hook works too... we'll have to wait for Vinny's reaction.

Okay, so who's going to whip up some music to go with all of those words?

Anybody got a Mellotron?

My other guitar is a Strat.

Nice work Trauma looks like we have 2 written pieces and please dont freak guys and gals all lyrics on here are copyright automatically as this is now considered to be published works and the time and dates are all here so we are protected to a great extent. Grab a fender Strat and go for it like I said just one guitar is all you need I may even give it a go both pieces are superb lyrically but Ill leave it to you and thanks you have made my day. Fantastic Trauma and all involved. A world wide hit?

I'm gone for a few weeks and I come back to this amazing thread. I'll never leave again. This blows my mind. Vinnypop, you certainly are one of a kind.

Russ

You should have seen the original............1953 lonely boy strat.......WOW

Mellotron???

I was thinking more of a brass marching band piece, but yep a mate of mine has a mellotron and a hammond, another has a theremin. I reckon thats all we need for this masterpiece.


Russ its like hypnotism and magic all rolled into one. The magic circle are lucky vinny never joined, they'd all be on the dole now.

Vinny....for a man that has literally, single handed with a strat & Vinnypop spirit, lifted our spirits & moral in a way in which I still cannot figure out....No problem...I'd love to see this played out like that united airlines broke my guitar song.....or are we really going for the top of the charts here?....I can see the youtube video now...Paul McCartney comes out and goes "Say hello to my friend....he's a right ole chap...his name is......" and then out pops VINNYPOP....with a strat...if we start the first transatlantic group we should be called Vinnypop & The Forum Strats...LOL I am glad we are all enjoying this soooo much fun from this............

As much of a laugh that Vinny has given me i've found a new empathy towards people from further afield. I usualy read here with a kind of 'words on a screen' attitude. Very de-humanizing to say the least.
Our Vin has stopped all that and made me understand that happy nutters are everywhere. Even Austrailia. It forces you to accept the belief that people are indeed the same wherever you go. (another mcartney lyric, ebony and ivory with stevie wonder).

Tell ya we ought to send Vinny to Iraq to sort the insurgents out. After that he could pop to afganistan and re-educate the taliban. It would certainly be a lot less messy than all this shooting and bombing.
