Mekids your  food sounds delishes. I always make my gravy from the juices of whatever meat I am cooking with. If I ever try to cook a Turkey again I will try to get your recipe of you as the only time I have cooked Turkey I made a mess of it and came it out to dry. Your Mum's pies also would add to the experience.  I like Apple Pie and Pumpkin pie with a dash of cream or icecream added. Here in NZ we have as take out hot food  an abundance of shops selling burger size pies pies with meat fillings which are sold everywhere.  There are varieties such as Steak and Cheese. Potatoe top pies with a mince underneath. Chicken pies, Steak and Onion, Vegeterian pie. Roat beef and Kumura. (Kumura is a local sweet potatoe). Every where you go in NZ we have Petrol Stations and small shops selling basic household needs known as Dairys selling these pies.
I have read a bit about how the Bison was nearly wiped out. My wife has a picture of Sitting Bull and undrneath it are these words of his. Which I think most probably would convey the life his people wanted to keep.
I will remain what I am until I die, a hunter, and when there are no Buffalo or other game I will send my children to hunt live on praire mice, for where an Indian  is shut up in one place his body becomes weak.  Sitting Bull
I know my relations back in Fiji who live the old ways . Living of the land and  sea have better health and life outcomes compared with those who have moved to modern style living.
Bill, my Wife Maree in her younger day use to be a Skydiver jumping out of perfectly good planes. Watching her doing a tap dance on power lines tryinig to avoid been electrocuted after she jumped out of a plane is still a vivid memory.

I hope you all  had a good Thanksgiving. It is not a tradition we have in NZ but I was  interested to read TIGS  good and interesting  comments and also the video. Also good to read the other peoples comments.  The other thing that interest me is there a signifance to the eating Turkey  at this time??? I have only tried Turkey a couple of times when I was in the States and over in the UK. I noticed when I lived in England people ate Turkey as part of Christmas celibrations. I tried to cook a Turkey once but I didnt get it right. Chicken tends to be the bird I eat. At Christmas we are a Roast Lamb family as my 96 year old mother is against the eating of pork and chicken. Though I celibrate Christmas  my Mother does not like that tradition or Birthdays, so I find those times a bit awkward for me. She is a Christian that only believes in Easter.  My father's side was into both birthdays and Christmas so I enjoy both aspects of these occasions.  When Mum is not around I eat both chicken and pork.

Thank you folks for taking time to give it a watch.  I agree with you TF the subtile bits are actually very hard to do. Like Phill's comments about Rap. Incidently Brookes Dad was a famous All Black winger Bernie Fraser.  Glad Mekids enjoyed it, hard to know sometimes what local stuff of ours travel's well and what doesn't.

The Five top songs of yours I like the best are.
One More Day.
No Name.
Broken Branch.
World Won't Stop.
Destiny.
You are a top song writer and performer. The main thing to do is play what you feel is right for you in the studio. The good thing  will be that the sound engineers can take out any bits you dont like and patch in the bits you have to  do over again.  Your end product will sound like one take and will be a real cool  listen.

Thank  you Amy
For your  kind thoughts.
I guess the thing with nature it will eventually remind us in one form or another to respect it it. Sometimes we all take our safety for granted in the rush of life. Compared with motor accidents  nature has most probably in terms of life lost and life changing injuries done less damage. The big lessons down here in NZ around the earthquakes is modern enginering and construction hasn't deliverd on some structures like the experts thought it would. The older buildings in our city that  were waiting to either be demolished or earthquake strengthen because the engineers thought them unsafe came through Ok. Some of the modern so called  safe buildings didn't.

Hi Bill
Here in NZ the country had a bit of shake up with an earthquake just after midnight  which has created a few challenges  for locals today. Anyway I will attach a song I wrote about Maree a while back it was one of my usual me piano and cell phone moments. So the sound quality is not the greatest.

You can never make natural conecting percussion out of robots or mechanical beats. To me a real drummer gives a song  its heart beat. Only humans can feel music machines don't do that.

Love it that song takes me back in time in a good way.

No need to apoligise I found it refreshing to get a honest opinion. I love it when people are true to themselves. I didn't take any offence. My Maree is a clasical  music girl and doesnt like a lot of the sort of music I like.  Maree describes much of what I like as Kay Wrap. But even though we differ alot on things of taste we are very much in love after 35 years of marriage. My Mother and Father were members of two opposing political party's when I was a kid. Our dinner table up until I was the  age of twelve when my father died was always entertaining, listening to my perants sometime very heated debates. Good on you for saying how you feel  that is what true friends do. No offence taken.

I get those sort of scam emails often on soundcloud. I suspect they are sent out by a automated computerised scam set up. I also received on soundcloud email computer  generated invites to deviant sort of  sex stuff.  I just disregard it.

Cheers Bill
I like your criticism, That is what good friends should do is express themselves honestly. That is what I love about you is your not a fake.
