So are you suggesting something like: Waiata Wahine Moderator?

Roger

I think the Uke-A-Lady moderator is the best title it has nice flow to it..  Wahine Waiata doesnt  have a flow to it and wasnt meant as a name sugestion, I was just comenting on it was nice to have a Kiwi moderator. Kiwi is a New Zealand Native bird and also  the word Kiwi is a name for a New Zealander. When New Zealanders and Australians get together we refer to ourselves as Ozzies and Kiwis.  I also know that folks overseas refer to Kiwi Fruit as a Kiwi.

Maree and I use to work with young addicts and this song could be about most of them.  Love the way you do it on soundcloud.

This a few words about running into Easy Beat on a street in Wellington.


                                             Easy Beat
Standing on Salamanca Road talking to Easy Beat.
On a street next to Vic University with passing clever feet,
Talking about music and poetry from  a working mans seat.
Enlightening me about words that are poetry does Easy Beat.
Before my feet move on marching to their own beat.
Cheeky Tuis calling at us.
Rustling away on branches looking for nector.
Distracting us for a minute while we consider the tunes and lyrics of life.
Passing thoughts.
Next to passing traffic rushing by, we take our time.
Enjoying a moment not letting it pass too quick.
He has a tennis ball to chase.
I have a public servants job to complete.
We are not off just to compete we just want to be complete.
Thank you friend for your time on the street.
Thats me and my friend Easy Beat.

Thank you Jandle my vocals need a bit of work.but hopefully each new song I attempt is differant from the ones I have done before.  I appreciate the way you consistantly take time to have a listen to what people put up and offer a comment.  EB has good thought provoking words, he has a wonderful way of making good statements without over doing things.

Has an interesting middle eastern feel to your playing. I could imagine people folk dancing to that tune in a town square on a hot still summers  evening.

That is a great piece on todays throw away society and  craft skills now  relegated to history.
I dont want to hear songs writen by computers.
I dont  want a computerised love.
I want real human love.
Love of a real person.
The rest of life has been overtaken by cheap and thats all we can affford.
First it was cheap labour overseas that took our jobs.
Now it is technology objects created by passionless machines.

I like what you are saying Tenement the world outlook of young criminals has subtly been shaped or brainwashed  into them by the constant negative bombardment that entertainments subtly place into their susceptible brains. Also the new generation of so called Reality Stars seem to get more media coverage then thery deserve. People famous for been famous with no real talent or good character.

Hi Daryl
I see that you are from the Phillipines. It would great to see you on the Geographical Spread Map  on chordie if are interested under Chat Corner. I am looking forward to hearing some of your playing.

Music to me has no wrongs or rights. I think what matters is are people having fun. The best covers to me are those done by people who feel the songs deep down when doing them. Also I love the way a song that fits one style such as country becomes a soul song when done by another artist. Look forward to  hearing what the gifted talented people on here come up with. Jandle your voice can make any song sound great.

In my younger days I spent many hours traveling around the world in Iorn Birds meeting interesting and not so interesting people.   It  was a great experience  travelling. Sometimes when its going good time would travel too fast. When things were not going good, when away, some how coming home always felt good. An excellent poem Phill.
