Here is my rough attempt at recreating what me and my mates would do when out in our cars to entertain ourselves when I was younger. One of us would come up with a lyric and we would all then try to add to it just with our voices. I sure people on chordie could do something in a similar vein better than I can.

Topic: Rick Beato (0 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Sometimes at night I get on You Tube to watch all sorts of things to entertain myself. Friends of mine like Easybeat are the ones who have introduced me to a man called Rick Beato who does amazing music interviews. One I recently watched is an interview with Micheal Mc Donald. If you are not busy and have a bit of time here it is.

Excellent performance and song Jim. Also, your video works perfect. Where did you find the photos or are they ones you photographed yourself?
BTW Jim, I just finished reading, "The Alchemist" the book you recommended. I should read and I enjoyed it.

Cheers Jan maybe it would be a good discussion to have on chordie everyone's favourite movie tunes.? I remember," The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain" has done a couple great versions of movie music. The theme from the movie "Shaft" and also "The Good Bad And Ugly" theme.

Thank you Jan this recording of Richard song by the Perth radio station was really well done. Their sound engineer had it balanced perfect his vocal and guitar. Richard's song writing and performance on this one was bang on.

Re: I Wanna Rock (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Seeing the mention of cockles on here reminds me of that Irish folk song “Molly Malone” about a fishmonger who sells cockles and mussels from her barrow. A song my dad use to sing at parties when I was a kid.

I hope more people like you will come on here and rev their engines with pride. Please keep contributing on this virtual domain Kimnancy.

Easy Beat has put up "Songs I wish I Had Written". recently ' I like many songs so many that I can't put a number on here because there is too many. I will make this song my last one in this series. I think this song lyrics are a timeless treatise on the senselessness of war.

Cheers Piri, my Maree liked their disco music but I couldn't get into it. Maree liked that film "Saturday Night Fever". Sometimes just to wind Maree up or get a bite out of her I will refer to Johnny Travolta as Johnny Revolta. One of their later songs that I did like was this one which I will attach here.

Easy Beat has put up "Songs I wish I Had Written". recently ' I like many songs so many that I can't put a number on here because there is too many. But one that lyrically made sense to me in the worldwide mainstream is this song though I have mixed feelings about the band that originally wrote it. I liked some of their earlier songs and then later on I thought they lost their way, apart from one or two songs But one thing I couldn’t fault them on was their collective vocal harmonies.

Re: Easy Beat Add On 2 (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Excellent feedback Jan, Piri and Jim thank you.
Jim your brilliant words are more of a reflection of the narrative running through my head rather than the lyrics on the song I put up by Derrick Dove&The PeaceKeepers.
Though there have been times when the song that I put up here reflects the temporary moods that I go through.
I think that band is from Texas but I'm not sure as they don't seem to get much airplay down here in New Zealand. Though having said that I don't listen to mainstream radio much.
