I am not sure I could name any lasting world moving suoer talent songwriter who has turned out to be a horrible sexual preditor of vunerable people or a murderer. Though there have been many dodgy managers and production people in the entertainment industry.
They were mostly ones who had short moments of sucess and then were mostly forgotten.

I am sure Dino packed plenty into those 68 years. A member of the Chordie family whose words were appreciated world wide.
Many a songwriter will be dedicating their next song to you. RIP Dino

Kia Ora is the right Maori word and that iechyd dda is what I was trying say.
Ka Pai Phill Ka Pai means good pronounced Car Pie.
A Fijian word we use at my 96 year old mum home as she is Fijian is Bula Vinake a way of saying cheers. It also translates to hello thankyou as Bula also means hello and vinaka means thankyou.

Hi Phill
Not only do us Kiwis who follow Rugby Union love the Welsh because we play the same game. We love the way your suporters.sing. Cardiff Arms Park is a place of pilgrimage for many a Kiwi. Your Town LLanelli is also known by many here through Rugby. Back in the early 70s our All Blacks were given a great lesson on how to play rugby in your town. It is now a privilege for me and Easybeat to have someone like you teach us how to write and put together a great song. Both songs you put up are very good but full credit must be given to you and Easybeat. Welsh entertainers like Harry Secombe, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Phill Williams have provided me with great entertainment over the years . Thank you Phill.
Quiet often on a Sunday around about 5pm I stop for a quick beer with my friends at our local there I will raise my pint and wish you my friend good health and say those Welsh words La ch yd da..

Re: Just Outside Of Nashville (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Clever chorus lines a song that works perfect which many a songwriter who has been to Nashville could relate to. Even people who are interested in country music and what Nashville represents. Many a Kiwi musician has gone there in the hope of breakking into the big time.

Bill not having you here in Chordieland is a big loss, we are poorer for not having you here. I guess someone's opinion has upset you. I like the Marcus Aurelius saying. "Everything we hear is opinion not fact. Everything we see is a perspective not the truth."
Come back to your chordie family we need you here.
I am one of your many fans and friend's from around the world.

Re: BMI (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Our local organisation for copywrite is APRA (Australasian Preforming Right Association) which covers Australia and NZ. I think a big frustration for muscians world wide is the way the big music companies and those with the cash can trade and make a killing financially on the songwriters work. It sounds like the BMI has stiffled the up and coming who arent going to make a big dent in the earning power of those with plenty of cash anyway. I know amatuer Musical theatre here always find it a big hurdle to find the money needed to secure the right's to put on shows. Richard OBrien a kiwi who wrote Rocky Horror Picture Show felt it was outrages the fees charged for people to cover his work who weren't going to make a personal fortune out of it. He felt that copywrite organisations had to much say on how or who could benifit from his work.

Re: Think You Have (4 replies, posted in Poems)
Thank you everyone or your comments. I guess the only truth in life is what is moved outside of our control will never push out any good persons expectations for a proper future. A collective human spirit to fight for what is right will hopefully never be completly supressed. The human ability to stay positive at times of hardship will never stop an appreciation of what we have in life. The pursuite of good over evil. At the end words are just nothing without action.

Topic: Think You Have (4 replies, posted in Poems)
Hello everyone heading into 2017. I have been thinking about what I want and life in general when this poem came into my head.
I will call it ................ Think You Have. ....................................................................................
You have to stop sometimes, take time to think.
When Mother Nature hits the earth we forgot to love it reminds us with a sting.
It's a wake up shake as buildings once thought solid fall.
Its a wake up call when solid trees are felled by powerfull breath of fast air.
Fast moving air creating turmoil to big for any human or their constructions to fight.
It's a wake up call when time refuses to stop.
No clever devises to turn time back.
A young body now old.
A mind no longer sharp as axes of old cut into forrests full of healthy tree's.
Pills made to survive not provided for addictive recreation.
You have to stop sometimes take time to think.
In the process of training hard you lose but never forget the goal.
The necessary water of life we drink.
When dry we pray for more.
Engulfed by too much of what we wanted we drown crying for less.
You have to stop and think.
There are many living life on slippery slopes never sure of their ground.
They will never give up hope.
You have to stop sometimes and count.
Count what is good.
Count on what you know is right.
Count on the fact that there are those who are prepared to fight for right.
Count your blessings as you blow away the cobwebs that tie you down.

I just did a little searching in the Songwriting section myself - I really liked this one by Mojo (no name song): http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=30300
I think he did a nice job on his recording, but with such simple chords, it could be done a bunch of different ways (even Beamer could get in on this one I think).
I like that idea Amy , Hope by Mojo is a real good song for people to cover. Having said that chordie has a big pool of talented writers to pick from. https://soundcloud.com/eatleville/hope

Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Happy Birthday Bill you Capricorns are obviously born under a good star. Amy writing about dancing reminded me of Maree and I walking around Courtney Place here in Wellington. This Transvestite Taller and bigger than me I am 6 Foot 2inches suddenly appeared in front of me and started dancing with me on the footpath. Me being a good sport did some dance moves before gracefully or discracefully moving on. To make it worse wasn't Maree laughing but a cafe full of people photographing me with their cellphones. The transvestite had a microphone in her hand and was using me a passer by as part of her act.

Merry Christmas Bill and Dondra
I thought I would send you a list of things on a video that are known to people from New Zealand but maybe not known to those not from here. Some of those items would be cooked in a hangi a Maori way of cooking. Hope everyone's Christmas went well and Happy New Year. The culinery side is tastier than it looks but not in common use by most Kiwi's. Kumura one of the items shown is my favourite sweet potatoe to eat.
