yeah, the reason it was... strange... was because i wrote it and then straight away recorded it, there wasnt practice time... :) but yes, it was part of a workshop and the 'leader' guy thought it was the best 'singalong' chorus so he got everyone to... sing along! :)
hmm... yes... well anyway, did i tell you i have a new music account on myspace? its www. myspace. com/penelopemitchell :) but the only song i have recorded wasnt a very good recording... oh well.. i put it there, it says its processing so... :S
well yes, i would be, except that some.... as in most... of the scenes, me and rowan didnt sort out... so i have to organise something with him, but hes not responding... grr >:(
Never heard of them. You know, I have a cheese grin on my face right about now. There would be stacks of spelling mistakes in this comment if I did not have Firefox right now.
i sorta did. AC/DC i think is more interesting. but i will. Check out mine, and go into my photos, then go into the folder that says something bout queensland. There is some of me when i was really young and fat. I think u will get a laugh out of them.
hey there...i'm a singer songwriter guitarist from melbourne...songs from my new cd 'in the breeze' and photo videos are up and ready to listen to and look at...let me know what you think!
