Peatle,
So good to hear from you !!
Hope all is good with you.
Thanks for giving it a listen - I feel so bad for this girl - she has so much to deal with.
I recorded it this morning and put it on soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/james-kenyon-997 … e-believed

That is so .... applicable to probably every young boy ever.
Leave it to imagination as to who was the protagonist ( dad, mom, grandparent sibling......
Nice song -looking forward to hearing it
Jim
p.s.
apparently it is appropriate if it took you this long to finish !

What I will do is photocopy the pictures and have them color those rather than ruin the book .
Once one starts coloring they are all gonna want to color.
I will send you results.
Did you get my email ?

Re: Kiwi Classic no. 5 (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
That was very awesome Brian !
So cool they got together.
I agree with Phill - that was exactly what I was thinking.... I will add that the sense of Pride was in there faces ( although it was so naive as all young soldiers seem to be) that they were going to go to war and then come back. It didn't work that way for millions of young men across the years of conflict.
Great song !
Thanks for sharing

Thanks Phill !
Feel free to take a stab at that Rock n' roll song if you have the time and Ann doesn't have a whole list of Honey Dew stuff for you.
It was my feeble attempt at rock n' roll - thought is was a decent idea - but probably screwed up the chords and phrasing !
Thanks for your kind words.

I have never heard that before - but it was pretty good.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the chordie situation - in fact thats why I wrote that rock song - just to post something.
I am hoping that the absence of activity is not health related.
C'mon chordies - let's get active again. ![]()

p.s Brian
My book I ordered is en route - I can't wait to share your work with my grandkids!!
I hope others on here ordered as well.
I enjoyed reading yours and all the others short bios on the Underground Bookstore author page - so many cool people.

well since the rock n roll song I wrote was epically a failure... I went back to this song ( which I really like) and made a few changes as follows.
I'm hopeful of recording it soon.

Re: UK (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
lol Phill
We (my wife, my daughter, Her Husband, three kids ages 2-6) flew into Edinburgh.
He is a pilot for United so my wife and I can use a "buddy pass" flying stand bye and only having to pay the taxes on the ticket.
However - you are the mercy of having some empty seats.
It was going good - we were supposed to fly home from Edinburgh when the weather in the USA got horrid and grounded hundreds of flights
So we took a train to London that gave us many more options to get home.
If we had stayed another day or two in London I would have given you a shout- it would be awesome to hook up for an ale or two and chat.
However- when there were openings - we took it - especially since it was 1st class.
We may be back - it was such a fun adventure. The UK is beautiful country.
We went to Scotland bc My fathers family was the MacMillan Clan which was near paisley.
Cheers

Topic: UK (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well I just returned to the USA from a fantastic visit to the UK.
Went to Edinburgh - spent 3 days traveling around beautiful Scotland (incredible castles. Lochs, and Reindeer ) took a train to London, also a magnificent city.
Thanks for us letting experience a great place ! I was amused one night watching the news on TV and how the newspeople were viewing the Trump vs. Biden debacle. The best line was a woman newsperson who summed it up in a few words - Americans can now choose between "Vile and Senile" ! That would be a great TEE SHIRT seller here in the U.S.
Sorry about this having nothing to do with music - but I just wanted to let my chordie friends from the UK know how much I liked their country, plus England pulled out a Euro cup win while we were there!!
Cheers
Jim
p.s. it took a bit to get used to the left side driving and small roads, but it was so cool.
