Thank you for your feed back Tenement, Jandle. and Easybeat.

Thank you Uncle Joe for the link advise. Putting up the Link was real good of you. How does  one stay logged in on this site as after every time I change from one page to another I have to log in again? I find just getting a message to stay takes a few attemps as I get logged out?  Modern technology and me dont work to well together. I will have a go today as I am on  a day of from work and see if I can get it to work.

He  was a big influence on me musically back in the 70s. I use to play the drums for a short while, his drummer Carl Palmer was a drummer whoes style I admired. I use to have the Album Brain Salad Surgery which I use to regularly put on my turn table. I also loved his arrangement of Hubert Parry Jerusalem. So many great bits of music far to many  mention here that he put together. His music will live on a great legacy. Back in 2012 I heard a group of very talented school boy teenagers covering Fanfare For The Comon Man  with clever solos. After they had finished their set I spoke to them and they were all in awe of Keith Emerson, his music will influence many to come.
RIP Keith

Just think in a hundred years time someone might be singing one of your songs. Long live music when all else is gone.

Hi Paco
I am only 61 myself have found that playing musical instruments is a mixture of joy and frustration. The more you play your guitar the better you will get at it, use baby steps at times and build from there. I stopped playing from 1981 to 2014. My friend Easybeat got me interested again and I have found that has been a nice relaxing challenge. A thing with guitars they are all individuals some play better then others. I also like to watch what others are doing and try and adapt their stuff to what I  am doing.
Welcome.

You are right Tenement my friend has pearls of wisdom. Cyclone Winstone caused some humidity problems here in New Zealand  but we were well out of the path of the cyclone. Our February has been hotest on record. We are having a dry hot summer. My extended family members who live in Fiji all are ok as far as I know. Cyclone Winston is the worst one on record for Fiji winds up to 325 kilometers an hour.

I cant remember who said it but it goes something like this. There  are some people who are `so poor all they got is loads of money.

I would like  say a big thank you to Kiki Jan for putting up this poem as a beautiful song on soundcloud. I hope people who follow chordie will take the time to give it a listen.

I have always  liked the way some artists like Joe Cocker for instance have taken someone elses song or lyrics, then turn them into something of thier own. I have tunes in my head none seemed to deliver what I want with these words I have writen above. Some of my  better  thoughts on life leading me to what I want to do have come to me while watching the setting sun. Thank you  Easy beat and Bluejeep for your thoughts.

Thanks for the translation its made your song even more interesting. I remember the first couple of times I heard Tony Joe White singing Polk Salad Annie on the radio I thought he was singing Poke Sally Annie. My Fathers parents were Cockneys whose way of speaking would require my father to translate what they were saying to me when I was a kid. My grandparents would quiet often greet me with  Allright Boy Cor Blimey hows your trousers, what it meant I still dont know. I just took it as a greeting.

Another excellent piece of story telling through song. I cant wait for the lyrics to be writen up as I am not sure  of  what a couple of the words were, as they are ones I am not familiar with but I understood and enjoyed the whole song.

Just listened to your  This Time I Maybe Wrong on soundcloud it is a good song your guitar drives it along nicely As a song writer your vocals do the job setting down a good template for someone to cover.
