Johnny Cash is one of my music heros I love that song you put up Bill.  Reading about Zurf Grandfather reminded me of those  old men I knew when I was a kid who had been through the First World War from both sides. I would loved to have met Zurf,s Grandfather. I will attach a Australian song about The first World war by the Pogues about the Australian, New Zealand experience. The Battler of Galipoli is a big part of both  NZ and Aussies military history. We have a day of rememberance called ANZAC day every April.

Badeye I I love that Joe Turner sound the sort of music I grew up with. I wish I could sing and play like them. Down here in New Zealand it is now our summer but someone forgot to turn of the rain this Saturday morning.

I can hear millions of couples world wide saying that is us on hearing your song TIG. Phill has made an excellent cover of it. When working to pay our bills that same job differant day would also apply also to the single working person trying to get on with  life.. Those lyrics cover the experience of many all around the globe .

I love that  message of yours on soundcloud EB. I like your Cotton Fields lyrics idea Bill.

Even though it is summer at Christmas time here, those words make sense to me one of the oldest 18 year olds who lives in my part of the wood's, me.

Here is a little thumb picking idea you might want to try  Upside. It  is just playing on the A and B strings. I attach a short video I made for you showing what I mean. Hopefully it might be of some help to your guitar playing.

Bill and Dondra you  are Chordie Land Royalty. The Chordie Verse would not be as good if you two  were not on here.. I always look forward to reading your posts,

Hi Bill I havent reallycome up with anything good recently.  I have just put this one below about my father not sure if it works but I thought I  would see what sort of reaction it gets.

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.
