Blood, Sweat & Tears

I’m looking for the chords for a few songs off BS&T’s first album, Child is Father to the Man.
I realize that they’ve never been know primarily as a guitar based band, but I’m still amazed that there’s no listing at all for them on Chordie. What gives?

My new fave performance of one of my fave songs

null@example.com (TIGLJK) — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 09:49:04 +0000

I came across this by accident - while viewing the tiny boat song Pete posted

The Band was from Missouri, but the gent that sings it has passed since,

I think it is flawless and beautiful.

I don't even remember how I found this song- but I am glad I did.

It is really good and there's probably a whole bunch of people ( myself included) who at some point in their life felt like this.
the music is fabulous - and sure gets the foot tapping and the body moving.

Give it a listen - you will be glad you did !

This is the title song - Strike up the band

Lyrics below.....

From Vienna to Savannah, the struggle moves your hand
And there's a fragile human nature in every woman and man
The wise and the weary can find some sweet relief
If you can raise a voice together and find your true belief

Strike up the band
Strike up the band
When people lose their faith and need a helping hand
When you can't find the words, but you need to take a stand
Find a soulful harmony and strike up the band

The painters and the poets, tell stories of the saints
The thieves and the pioneers, the demi gods of pain
Well music paints a picture of the voices deep inside
All throughout time it's helped us to get by

Strike up the band
Strike up the band
When people lose their faith and need a helping hand
When you can't find the words, and you need to take a stand
Find a soulful harmony and strike up the band

Last year I saw Virginia and Minnesota's fate
And I wondered how it felt in the summer of '68
There's no way we can win if we close every door
Now is there a song to sing to tell us what we're fighting for

Strike up the band
Strike up the band
When people lose their faith and need a helping hand
When you can't find the words, and you need to take a stand
Just find some soulful harmony and strike up the band
Find that soulful harmony and strike up the band
Find that common harmony and strike up the band

Strike up the band
Strike up the band

Help me find a song and a singer

Sure! Here’s the translation:

"Hi! I can't remember the song or the artist. It's an old rock song with the lyrics: 'I can tell your trouble and... obsessed.' I know it sounds silly, but I really want to find it. I would appreciate any help from music lovers!"

This young friend of mine has just released his first song that he has written as a solo artist. He plays all the instruments on this recording and sings. He also is a singer in my friend's band. He would be thrilled if the folks on here took the time to give it a listen.

My Last Duo Post About Those Who Have It Together On Stage

null@example.com (Peatle Jville) — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 04:53:41 +0000

Back to Duos two people working together making music good I will make this post the last one in my contribution to the Easy Beat revival. I am not running away just back to not making this an every day or week thing. I have enjoyed learning a bit more about everyone on here in the last weeks. You are all good people thank you for your time and efforts to look in and post.

A big thank you to (Piri) Phill Williams for the work he has done making sure that we all comply with keeping this site a place with a good culture connected to music and our different outlook on life and the world.

Music history this woman was briefly married in 1964; and then divorced when she would not end her music career to stay home. She has no children. In a 2015 documentary she revealed that Bob Dylan once proposed to her, and she turned him down. She has a stage presence and a natural joyous charisma and even with the help of just one guitarist in this video she has it going on when performing. Born on July 10, 1939. She began her career with her family group in 1950.

Thank you America and music what do you think???

null@example.com (Peatle Jville) — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 23:56:38 +0000

What has come out of America musically impacted us here in New Zealand in a good and positive way. Though I'm not keen on another style of music which is gangster rap and its culture which has impacted some of our kids negatively. Putting that aside mostly the American influence has been positive short video attached. I would be interested in any one else thoughts on this subject.

This Song always Resonates With Me

null@example.com (Peatle Jville) — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 23:28:00 +0000

Here in New Zealand we use the words working class. The first time I went to the USA a lady asked me if I liked American Country Music and I told her, I liked Johnny Cash singing The Man In Black . She said to me your obviously a Blue Collar Man . At the time I thought she meant I like blue shirts and I thought thats a bit of a weird thing to say about me liking a song about a man in black. Later on I found out when the penny dropped that she meant "Working Class" her statement made sense.
