That song has got that bouncy trademark of the Burt Bacharach, Hal David sound and production.
I wonder if in the rural areas around the world dying towns where people have moved away from will see a return of people in years to come. Maybe its a bit like chordie nowadays not many people hanging around.
The song of Burt Bacharach and Hal David that stands out for me is "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" written for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.     

There is a  lot to think about in that song especially now when people all around the  world are in a In a long line leading to the providers door. Most countries now have behind certain doors admission's only guaranteed to the favoured few. Long waiting lists and plenty more.  Necessities costing more and more.     

That would have to be one of the best modern day single man blues songs that I know of.     

EB that is a real good song first time I have heard it.     

Howdy Scott good to see you on here. I liked the electric guitar in your video.  All the best for your new home.     

Thank you Piri.   Though I know you mean it in a different way, I couldn’t see myself being a rent boy even though as a teenager I had an infatuation with a lady who if she had been my girlfriend it would have made me a toyboy.

Richard that is a good extension to your marketing armoury.     

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.
