Re: Cloak of invisibility (12 replies, posted in Songwriting)
One thing I have noticed about age is it is easier to not want to be part of the modern world. Younger people are more conected by technology where I tend to keep its use to a minimum. Another thing I notice some people seem sometimes to assume once you get past 60 you start to become incapable. As a result some older people get deprived the opportunity to be part of what younger people are doing. So the older people become invisable. Lukily for me even though Im in my 60s I still havent figured out what I am going to do when I grow up. Good observational lyrics Grah.

Jim that is a clever way of adding your special creativity. I wonder if Neil ever thought about a sequel to After The Gold Rush.

Re: Artists lack of belief (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Interesting song when tackling life we all at times have a bit of self doubt. The sad thing about a lot of artists is they try to be popular rather than being true to thermselves.
Once again you have displayed depth and substance through your music.

Re: June 2016 Featured Song - After the Goldrush - Neil Young (74 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Thank you for having a listen and the feed back. I did the backing as single tracks with borrowed instruments with the help of my visiting friend from India, Yogesh and his work, microphones and other tricks. With the vocals I just recorded that with a cell phone no mike. My aim is to try to keep things raw as possible and aviod using technology. Also that way it covers up my poor singing voice. So its all done manual on this one so that is why the playing is not that great. Drums, Keyboard, Guitar, Bass. We only had an hour to get the instruments down. Vocals done at home later with cell phone. Zurf I have been trying to get a tune out of a Hamonica I got given at Christmas and it has proved to be a tough instrument to conquer.

So are you suggesting something like: Waiata Wahine Moderator?
Roger
I think the Uke-A-Lady moderator is the best title it has nice flow to it.. Wahine Waiata doesnt have a flow to it and wasnt meant as a name sugestion, I was just comenting on it was nice to have a Kiwi moderator. Kiwi is a New Zealand Native bird and also the word Kiwi is a name for a New Zealander. When New Zealanders and Australians get together we refer to ourselves as Ozzies and Kiwis. I also know that folks overseas refer to Kiwi Fruit as a Kiwi.

Topic: Easy Beat (6 replies, posted in Poems)
This a few words about running into Easy Beat on a street in Wellington.
Easy Beat
Standing on Salamanca Road talking to Easy Beat.
On a street next to Vic University with passing clever feet,
Talking about music and poetry from a working mans seat.
Enlightening me about words that are poetry does Easy Beat.
Before my feet move on marching to their own beat.
Cheeky Tuis calling at us.
Rustling away on branches looking for nector.
Distracting us for a minute while we consider the tunes and lyrics of life.
Passing thoughts.
Next to passing traffic rushing by, we take our time.
Enjoying a moment not letting it pass too quick.
He has a tennis ball to chase.
I have a public servants job to complete.
We are not off just to compete we just want to be complete.
Thank you friend for your time on the street.
Thats me and my friend Easy Beat.
