Subject: Songs and Songwriters

Im always trying to work out the chords of songs on my elec keyboard
and am curious who wrote the songs..... melody or lyrics.
A song I recently worked out is .... Those were the Days....

By working out the chords and playing on the keyboard I often realize
just what a wonderful song it is and appreciate it more... Those were the days a case in point


It was orig a russian song..... By the Long Road...
Melody by Boris Fomin 1900 to 1948
lyrics by Konstantin Podevsky

Gene Raskin put Eng lyrics to it .

( maybe it was written in the 30s ?

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
