TF ,,,My Dentist must know your Dentist . That is why they play those awful songs in shopping malls to get rid of people they don't want there. Barry Manilow music is very good at scaring people away from areas around New Zealand where they are not wanted. My 96 year old mother has told me one of the advantages of her lack of hearing is even bad music sounds good to her nowadays, Just take the hearing aid out and its all good.. My wife's dentist is good he asks her what she wants to hear .

EB this is a Mother Teresa quote I like.

Hi Joeyjoeyjoey
I am in a tempory situation where I have needed to rely on other people because I am recuperating and cant do a lot of things. Apart from obvious factors like my faith that gets me through, I found the hard part is having to rely on others. My biggest obstacle was taking the resentment out of my life. Example resenting the fact I had to get my wife to help me get dressed among other things,
Since this is chordie I will mention not being able to play guitar or piano frustrated me. What has helped me was when I started to enjoy what I could do and forget about the could not part. Apart from the pain I can't drive due to medication I am on. When I saw what happened to Tiger Woods it made me glad I have other people to transport me. My friends and fami;ly all offered valuable suport and made me feel their love in a way I havent experienced before. Having musician friends saying Peatle tell us what you want to be played on guitar, piano or any other instrument has humbled me. So my life changing expirience for me has been accepting things don't always stay the same but we can learn to enjoy our day in other ways. I hope that makes sense,
Bluejeep I like what you said keep laughing and the fact there are people worse off than us. Aside from that I am an 18 year old inside an old man's body.

Hey EB with online dating do these young people get a real partner or a Robot.

OZ has produced many a fine country artists plus poets such as Banjo Paterson.. I wrote these words about the body slowing down about a month ago. Looking at your post I thought I would share them.
Worn Guitar.
The guitar I use to play has grown older and plays better than me.
It's body batterd by time just like me.
It can dance with anybody I can just dance with me.
Poems and songs once familiar I have forgotten.
Put in the right hands my old six strings and wood remembers them all.
The doctor looks at my body worn and battered.telling me thats your destiny.
My voice is still singing while my body's melody has lost it's harmony.
Young hands pick up my old worn guitar in the same condition as me.
With a gentle caress my guitar sings better off for it's age than me.
Excellent Documentary Johnny was a person who I have admired on many a level. His integrity and ability to inform while not forgetting who he is as a person inspired many to try and be true and care about people.. He never tried to appear perfect just a real human who sang great songs.
I like both versions but I agree the original version has a slight edge over the second. The studio recording is excellent..
TF I think the thing with having talent is it is something people are born with in differant degrees. What most probably is the add on is how hard you want to work at your given talent. Is this something you do for yourself or others. I know talented muscians that love music but their passion to work hard at something takes them in other directions. One of my Aunties was an example she was a very gifted painter. Her passion was teaching young women Science and Maths. When she retired from teaching she started to paint pictures to sell, She made more money doing that than she did teaching. I asked her once why didnt you sell paintings when you were teaching. Her answer was, When i was teaching it was something I loved and the paintings I did were done with love. I would give the odd one away to someone but I would never sell any of them. Now Im retired from teaching I have developed expensive tastes and I know my paintings sell. I paint with the dollar in mind to fund the things I truley enjoy. I enjoyed my teaching career it was my vocation in life and I would never had swaped it to become a full time or part time artist. My point is just because a person has a talent for music doesn' t always mean that becomes their main focus in life. I heard an interview on the radio a while back with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. The interviewer asked him what sort of music does he listen to relax. His answer years ago I could answered that with a wide selection of music. Now days when Im not working doing music when at home music is the last thing I want to hear. I have developed other passions.
Jandle it is wonderful to have people like yourself and Bill take time to listen to my attempts. Robert made my not so good voice sound better by writing a easy to follow piece of music. Thank you.
Thank you Jandle I appreciate your encouragement. I was honoured to have Robert do all the clever aspects.
As a promo for your band I think your video works extremely well. The lighting effects and way you introduce the Band very nicely done, You can see you are all getting into what your playing making it fun which creates a good visual and listening vibe. What stands out to me is you havent gone for the band members outside of playing approach which spoils many a promo video I have seen.
Jim that is country music at its best.
E B like your treatment of my lyrics. I am honoured to have you make a good job of it . Guitar and singing work good.
Thank you Zurf it took me years of pratice to learn how to sing as bad as I do.
Thank you Zurf it took me years of pratice to learn how to sing as bad as I do.
Cheers thanks for the jokes. Eb and Phill. Zurf glad you got the humour. Bill in answer to your question', Robert Hall is a friend of mine who is a very good guitarist and bass player. He has been dabbling recently with recording music at home and also plays gigs with various muscians around town. He asked me to contribute my vocals to some of his compositions even though I am not a great singer. He was a profesional full time muso back in the in the early 1990s but now does only the odd gig and has a day time job. He has played guitar with many NZ top players. He was also an original member of a band called Gitbox Rebellion and played on their first album. I will attach an old video of Gitbox Rebellion for you to watch. They were an unusual band of ten guitarists. They played mostly concert style gigs.

My ex Brother Inlaw had a drinking problem which caused the break up of his mariage to my sister.
He was staggering home one night when a homeless man came up to him'
He asked for two dollars.
My brother inlaw said to him, "no way you will only spend it on drink".
The homeles man said," no way sir I dont drink."
Brother inlaw then tells him "In that case you will spend it on gambling".
The homeless man said," no I don't gamble.">
My brother inlaw look's at him with pity before asking the homeless man to come home with him.
The homeless man asks, "sir why do you want me to come home with you.?'"
My ex brother in law replied," so my wife can see what happens to a man that doesn't drink or gamble".
Cheers thank you for having a listen glad you like my vocal effort. I have to thank Robert Hall of Hall and Shutlar for the other bits.
I will attach the link to the song just incase anyone wants to have a listen.
