Loved the song Brian !
Message was clear - guitar sounded cool, almost like a piano at some points.
Voice matched the intent of the song - so sincere.

Re: Wealthy Man (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Nicely done both easybeat and Peatle. I liked the line "health is wealth" easybeat. Peatle good line there too re "working twenty four seven, won't get me a place in heaven".
TIGLJK, thanks for thinking of me regarding writing a poem. I haven't had much time lately to do anything, let alone write a poem. Hopefully from next week on, things will start to slow down a bit for me.

Re: April 2024 FSOTM - anything!!! (16 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, nicely performed, a lovely song performed well by you. Thumbs up from me
I performed this song about 6 years ago on Soundcloud, I was trying to play guitar 'again'. I found when I sang this, I was so focused on the guitar playing and TRYING to get it right that my vocals weren't so good. I need to get that guitar out again and dust it off. Trouble is, I get frustrated with the guitar because I can`t seem to nail the F chord on it and I am useless at barr chords.

Re: Rosemary and red onion sausages, a song for vegetarians ? (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Grah, a great little song here and made me laugh. I can imagine you screwing up your face at the thought of being served up Rosmary and Red Onion Sausages lol. I can imagine a band performing this with a lead singer and then the rest of the band joining in loudly for the chorus. Well done.

Re: Mr. Chackrobarthi and the lost socks (6 replies, posted in Poems)
Phill, lol very good piece of writing, cleverly written. And whether we lock up our socks in a wall safe or whatever, I think a missing sock seems to be a universal problem. Can't for the life of me figure where they go sometimes.

Re: Carpark Money (15 replies, posted in Poems)
Peatle, sorry to hear you got scammed, they are so clever these days with the tactics they use. I mostly ignore them these days, with the odd exception, if I feel led to help them out. An example is one time I was up Cuba Street and I saw a lady sitting and begging with her sign wanting money as she sat there. She looked pretty messed up and in need of help. She was sitting outside a diary/small grocery type shop. So, I asked her if she was hungry to which she replied yes. So, I said I am not going to give you money but if you come with me into that grocers shop you pick some food and a drink to fill your tummy up with. So, she followed me into the store, and I let her pick whatever she wanted, which at first, she didn't pick that much (I think she was being polite). So, I made sure she got more food, once she realized I didn`t mind. She picked some more items of food and drink, I paid for it and walked out with her to her spot outside. She was very grateful, and I knew she was going to have something to eat. I knew if I had given her money, it probably wouldn't have gone on food but other stuff.

Re: Old man's thoughts (7 replies, posted in Poems)
Phill, well written, the older people get, yes memories of years past, seem to come back, good and bad. Hopefully for most the good memories are stronger. And I think most people would choose to pass peacefully in the bed and in their sleep when their time comes. Hopefully when their time comes, it is in their very old years and not young years.

Re: April 2024 FSOTM - anything!!! (16 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
easybeat, great humor in your song about Old Men. I could visualize it quite well lol Also, interesting the guitar strum playing with this one, made it interesting.
neophytte, that was great, I liked that one. Is that one of your originals? Also, the balance was good on this one, i.e your guitar playing didn't overrule your vocals, so it was easy to hear your vocals this time. Nicely done.
Peatle, it wouldn't let me comment on Soundcloud for some reason. Anyway, I remember this one of yours as I remember the piano playing in it which was great and really added to your song. Great lyrics and message in this one, nicely done. Was it your Marie playing piano?
