Thanks - it's possible to play the F in a 'cowboy' (or girl) position, with just your first three fingers:

Makes it easier sometimes ...

maybe ... the music club has mostly older (than me) people, and they keep saying the same thing ....

Anyway, this famous song has "brokenhearted people" in it:

Ok, I got this one I did last month at the Merriwa club. It has:

"... When older we all get our life is slowing down ..."

" ... with life rushing by ... "

This is the "go to" for media bias (from https://www.adfontesmedia.com/):

I like that one, as it's more legible, but this is the newest version:

I was outraged when I read the story about the UK Postmasters, for anyone that missed it, this was the first article that came to me via Google:

But the world is getting a smaller, tighter, more cynical place ... and particularly over the last few years - I always use Covid as a marker, but not the cause.

I think the world started going a bit crazy when the "Internet 2.0" was born, which was the time when the internet went from "informational" to "transactional" - this was a transition caused by all the businesses wanting to lower their costs (example, 10 people in call center can be replaced by two people responding to emails as they come through, during normal office hours to reduce overtime). All this was sold to regular people as "for your convenience", but it was actually just a cost saving exercise for big business. And every sector of that business was asked to "cut costs".

I see moving to a cashless society as a bad thing.

Err, sorry, that joke went right past me and I didn't even realize ... Peatle mentions Spike Milligan, I was more of a Python fan .. anyway ...

Yep, my version of "beginner" was "know a few chords, can roughly play a tune", whilst the class version of "beginner" was "how many strings does a guitar have? (complete with blank stares)" .... hahaha, it was a fun class (and I seem to recall I had to borrow my brother nylon-string guitar, as all mine were steel stringed) ...

Hi Jandle,

Someone once told me you don't need to rush your entries as the topic remains open in case someone else would like to enter at a later date, but you entries didn't sound rushed. I think I've mentioned before I did a TAFE class for guitar once, and I went in the beginner class, but they were more at learning notes, and I was a few stages beyond that. We spent the whole term (10 weeks) learning that song, "Where have all the flowers gone" .. I think you've done a better job of this song that any of my colleagues from that class, although I do still get shudders when I hear the song

Likewise "The Rose" is done nicely - it's a great song to build up with, and it sounds like your voice is getting there.

I hadn't heard the "Apple Jack" song before - it sounds like it's one of your favourites as you sing quite well, I can hear the smile in your voice.

Cheers
