Greetings and Happy Canada Day too you. You certainly come from a very diverse and interesting country. My sister back in 1965 went to Vancouver planning for a short visit and fell in love with Canada forgetting to leave. It has been her home country ever since way back then.

Re: Garden Birds video/music. (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Nice those images nicely photographed. Instruments balanced in a gentle flowing subtle way. A very relaxing watch and listen.. Took me back to a couple of English summers I experienced years back. Another garden creature I use enjoy watching was the Squirrels that use to run around on the branches of a large Oak Tree outside our Kitchen Window while living over in Richmond Surrey.

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.

That sounds like you know Easy Beat. On the tennis court he is a legend of great wit, and return hits.
When the the Easy Beat Film comes out will we have Peter Fonda playing Easy Beat.
