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.

Welcome  back to Chordie Land interesting to hear about your new chapter in life and music.

Mash that is was one of my all time favourite comedy series. It is a shame they don't make more ones like that now days. Even though it was set In korea it was a favourite of one of my Uncles. My cousin was in a later conflict, Vietnam, he was a medical doctor over there with the Australian Army. Sadly while working away in a Operating theatre on a wounded soldier he was killed by a stray missile. Anyway my Uncle told me Mash made him think back with laughter about his son's life every time he watched it. I hope that you Veterans out there are receiving, care and good reconition from the countries you are from.
Love to you and Dondra.
Pete and Maree

Thank you for all your valuable insights on how the world still hasn't learnt to live in Peace. Folk music is a good genre to get people discussing all that afflicts humans.

Farewell Leonard now you have crossed the river to join the other great  poets, and song writers in the Tower Of Song. Tom Jones doing his powerful cover of Leonards, Tower Of Song  came into my head on hearing the sad news. I have attached it below.

Steve is a great roll model for youngester here in NZ. He comes from a family of 18 kids. When he was 13 years old his father died he went of the rails briefly, until his older brother Warren took him in and help put him back on track. His sister Valerie Adams is a Double Gold medal Olympic shotput champion.
Steve is the highest paid Kiwi  sportsperson so far. He has provided scholarships to help disadvantage youth to get educated and develop their sporting potential. With him playing NBA Basketball kiwi are starting to get very interested in Basketball. Our national game is Rugby Union.

Thank  you Tenement for that link interesting reading. Nothing in life is straight forward and the reasoning around actions taken by people in war is always  going to be  complex. I guess at times individual  sense of destiny drives one to sacrific life.
