Seriously - in there somewhere, there's gotta be a poem - " Ode to the BM" or a song " Nineteen Guitars and a Bread Machine" ![]()

Welcome to Chordie
Looking forward to your originals .

p.s. I agree with TF - That's quite a tagline on your website:
"The female equivalent of Elvis, and the animal magnetism of Tina Turner."
sounds intriguing !

Beamer,
I watched and this is what I saw ( and heard) ....
"capture the song fresh or there is no song"
That is the quote that got me ------ I have a whole log of little quips and lines - that are songs i started but just didn't have it..
He is spot on - I know when I write one -it just flows and as he says - then you edit and make some adjustments.
Thanks for sharing - that was a teriffic insight to the hard work and special talents of music.

Re: Strummerboy Bill (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Bill just sent me an email as well - good to hear from him . Dondra is slowly recoperating - says she has " cabin fever" !
Bill says he'll drop into Chordie soon as he can - but his attention is focused on the love of his life - and that is so special.
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming for them both - he'll be back soon !

Here is a video of one of my songs. I wrote it for my daughter and her husband who was deployed for many months, and will be getting deployed again. Military separation is pretty difficult and needs a strong love.

Re: Under The Bridge (7 replies, posted in Poems)
That is just EXCELLENT Easybeat !!
[This would be a great place for Zurf's or Roger's ( I forget who posted them) Minions clapping !!]
I just had this conversation yesterday with my students about how tough life is for some people and how their lives are sitting on the edge of very fragile support.
And that in our busy lives it's easy to forget them and take for granted the goodness of our own more fortunate lives. A phrase "Abandon Hope" as such ,reminds us of the need for compassion and the need for acts of kindness - not just lip service.
As Beamer said, Seattle has many homeless - my daughter lived there and when I went out I can verify his observations. I was actually shocked this year in my own school - I have taught there since 1980, it is very rural and everybody knows everybody, but for the first time ever - i have not one, but three homeless students in my classes. And as I watched the Republicans shameful debates, Cruz and Trump talk about each others wives and sexual sizes instead of issues that affect lives of our citizenry. The stupid media fuels it as well, by asking those stupid questions about such stuff instead of asking - what is your specific plan to help the homeless ?, What is you r specific plan to deal with the drug epidemic ? ( although they would respond to that by saying " build a wall - it's the immigrants fault') or "Instead of building a wall, do you have a plan to build hospitals for veterans and care centers & services for people with dementia and Alzheimers and their families?
Anyway - sorry about the rant - don't mean to detract from your beautifully written and poignant poem - but as you can see it struck a nerve !
Well done !
Thanks
Jim
