I agree Zurf. I will attach a real Kiwi talent doing a song for you all to watch. I would love to hear your feed back on his  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRcGxhs … formance..

Gidday ( Kiwi way of saying Howdy) Topdown , Uncle Joe, Rickyjack, Keepitreal,Tig, Tenement, sorry about the sound quality my laptop doesnt record that well.
Easybeat I appreciate you explaining what a Dag is. Our overseas friends most probably dont use words like Gum Boot, Jandals , Kai, Wops, Pakeha, Batch, Old Bombs, Feeling Crook, Grouse, Jee Jees and the word  Kiwi for New Zealander. But I guess they would understand most of our banter down at our local watering hole.
Jandle  inside that Peatle  hard case is a soft lining.

If you love song writing just do it. Not everyone has the same taste in music.The love of my life Maree loves me but not my music. I dont like listening to myself singing or playing but find it trelaxing having a play around with music. Not every song works out but the more you do it the better chance one has of writing a good one. Most people dont like what I write but every now and then someone does and that is good enough for me. So my only advice is dont be to hard on yourself release your songs to the world and maybe they will grow legs or just sit on the shelf. Either way you had the courage to give it a go.

I think the hard thing for all musicians and songwriters is not having an audience. As much as I love Chordie I often wonder how many people on here take the time to actually go and listen to other Chordians output rather than just read their words. I am sure that most people will make that time if they have got it but if your not one of those listeners I would encourage you to listen to some of our family of chordians output.  For me the song means more than the theory behind it. I obviously am guilty of not giving feed back and taking everyone  music in, but if we all just give a couple minutes of our listen time to  some chordians we dont necessarily listen to I think our feed back has real value.

Michael Phelps what an amazing swimmer the whole world is in awe of his ability in the water. My mother's country of Fiji is celebrating with people dancing in the streets after they won their first ever medal a gold  in the rugby 7s. It is nice to see good competion between Nations hitting the news for a change. Our free to air  channel mainly lets us see
the  sports at the Olympics that New Zealand competing in. Those here with sky can watch much more. I guess with all the going's on around the next Presidential election over in the USA , Americans will be enjoying having something else to think about.

Great to hear all your voices and playing down here in NZ.

Thank you Bill if I was a young man again I would be calling on your drumming services.I enjoyed playing that video Bill,I love the Who. That song is relevant today as when it came out.  I met Roger Daltry  briefly  the singer from the Who once over in London he was a genuine down to earth nice guy. He  does alot  of work for good causes. Another one of my music heros Peter Green who was a wonderful Blues guitarist I use to see around alot when I was over in  Richmond, London. Unfortunately too many drugs had affected Peters mental state. Our friend Chris was playing bass for him in the recording studio unfortunately the project wasn't finished as Peters mental state deterioratied so they couldnt complete the project. Peter has started playing a bit again he has some stuff up on youtube and his time with Fleetwood Mac is well documented..

Here in NZ I have been watching the Olympics on a free to air channel as I dont have pay channels. Watching NZ Womans Football team playing Columbia one nill to NZ at moment. I suppose Bill will be following the cyclists with interest. Maybe one day we will have guitar picking as sport at the Olympics.

That is a song me and Easybeat sang as teenagers walking around our local area late at night. We always enjoyed trying to sing a song or two when our throats were lubricated after a beer or two. We had some very easy going friend's perants who were would indulge our  teenage attempts  at party singing.

Thank you Bill you make my day a good one.

Cheers Dino below is a link to my soundcloud stuff if you ever want to have listen. I like your flag idea. May be one day someone clever on here will design a Chordie flag. Maybe one of those thread things. I get a bit lost  on things computer and technical. I suspect out there in the Chordie world  we have some clever people at design.

My mission I guess is to try make the ability to put music out simple and not at big expense.

I salute our moderators for all their good work to keep Chordie Land  the place to be.
Letting our voices and music ring with pride.
As we hail from far and wide.
Together they help us unite and defend the cause of freedom.

I was wondering has anyone designed a flag for Chordie Land????
