Thank you Jan I was a bit worried that my attempt at trying to do something a little different might be pushing my simple idea in a direction that just wouldn't have any musical merit.     

Cheers Richard thanks for your feedback on my song. I was trying to use my voice to make separate characters I'm not sure if I got the old man frailty right in my voice. Then I was also trying to make my voice sound younger in the other parts of the song. It's more of a mix of my guitar a monologue and a song. It's good to hear you putting something up as well. The tide around here seems to be dragging people away from chordie at the moment.  I hope some others give FSOTM a go.     

Richard that was a good interview and the recording of you singing and playing The sound engineer had everything balanced perfectly.     

Jan your a natural born musician good to hear your excellent version of two great party songs from the 60/s.

Richard, good to see you on chordie doing some gigs with your own songs. Was that gig inside a garage?     

Hi Richard, growing up at home in New Zealand we had a Phillips Radiogram that had only Am radio and a record player. Back in those times there was only three local radio stations  in our area all on short wave.  Later on in the 70's radio transferred more to FM and also we had more radio stations. Some older people still had their old gramophones.when I was a kid. When we lived in Fiji late 50's early 60's in Fiji many of my relations played records on the old-style windup gramophones. Also many used peddle sowing machines.in Fiji when I was a kid and kerosene lamps for lighting at night. I think the problem with many an old gramophone was the needles tended to be a bit harsh on records. My mum who was born in 1920 all her life called anything even if was a stereo a gramophone player.

My relationship with guitars is a weird one. As a child guitars were always there in my family home, To cut a long story short round about 2014   Easy beat Brian gave me a guitar so I have tried to play it but not that successfully. The good thing for me was finding chordie  through EB  this has encouraged me to try and play guitar. Also I have now a good online relationship with some of the best people on this planet.     

Jan, Thank you I am glad you liked my effort. I hope your having a good holiday season. I am hoping some others will have a go at this. To change things around a bit I decided to have a go at making some artwork for this video using my computer. Yes, it is my artwork. Wishing you and your family all the best for 2024.     

Happy New Year Jan, I try and cover a lot of ground and different moods with my attempts at poetry.

Piri, hope your all refreshed for the New Year after your holiday.  My thoughts at times tend go off on all sorts of weird tangents. A big part of my relaxing time is spent reading I try and incorporate all these strange   things that fascinate me into my writing. Thank you for your encouragement and feedback.

Cheers everyone glad you all enjoyed Muireann.     

Hi Jim and Piri good to see you on here
And carrying on
Today is a new day
Tomorrow it will be yesterday
A day that has gone
As they say things carry on and move along
Do I remember all the people I knew
Do they remember me
It is hard to say
All I know is Yesterday is a good song
I write these words
In the hope that Chordie  grows this year
Becomes big and strong     

Happy New year here are my word suggestions for January
