You and I growing up here in little old NZ.
Both old enough to remember this land before Televison arrived.
Teenagers hanging out at Milk Bars.The Blacksmith on the main street.
Where there are houses now on the hills of our valley were farm animals.
A murder shocked the whole nation and was headlines.
Now murder is just a regular event.
Our family home was rarely locked.
We knew everyone in our street.
We played on the street as there weren't many cars.
The Television came and everyone started owning cars.
Doors started to be locked and people forgot their neighbourhood and began to feel unsafe.
The rest of the world far away got closer while next door became far away.
The love I make with my guitar is differant to love I have with my girl.
One is priceless and forever the other is just a passing tune.
One I can tune up the other tunes me up.
Both make me happy.

Sometimes I just take the lyrics of some song I like and just throw my own chords and feel to it. It can be a lot of fun and sometimes it can work out. That is why Joe Cocker was well liked because he did other people songs his way. Little Help From My Friends.Compare the Beatles version to his version.
Hey that is one very determined song. Goood use of minor chords and interesting lyrics.
Gambling is a funny thing you got be in to win , you got be in to lose. It is the never you know factor if its your turn to win or lose factor. Some contol their gambling others let it take them over and destroy their lifes. Today I will try and get the winning numbers,
Hi Daryl
Welcome. When you get into music it is a little bit like being a mad scientist because the only way to get good at it is to practise and experiment.
At times it can be an emotional rollercoaster especially when you have days when you just can't make it work but when you do it is like reaching a peak. By being patient and pushing through the many frustrations of trying to get a good sound you do get bits that work and get to master more of it. When you can make bits work it is a magical feeling. Then you find the thing you can now do is not challenging so you end up exploring other avenues which challenges your comfort zones. With music you never stop learning. Even though I am an older person everybody no mater how experienced or old they are teaches me something. Look forward to following your future growth and remember good things take time.
Thank you for sharing Lance's magic. His time and money was well spent. He could go to the top as Phill said.

This is brilliant,many chordians doing covers.
Please keep them coming i think it`s really exciting.
I guess lots of u guitarists have never had a crack at covering `an original`
Let me encourage u to have a go,sometimes an average guitarist finds they are a brilliant arranger
or have a talent for putting their signature on a song.Or put some chords to a poem.
Phill williams covered one of my songs once,it was so encouraging it kept me writing.
Have a go!
Hey baby spread the love
I love the way a song can be taken to some where else after it is writen. Joe Cocker covers of Beatle songs is a example that comes to mind. Good on those chordians who do covers . It makes it exciting especialy when the person adds their own special touch.
Listening to your song reminds me of some of the comments my 95 year old mother makes about being an older person. It is an excellent musical statement as it is.
Your nephew has an exceptional talent.
Wow Amy that really worked well with your voice and playing up there with Joan Baez. Take a bow you got the audience hanging onto every word and lovely guitar. Love to hear you doing it on soundcloud also. Beamers one was good it just needed the vocals to be a bit louder.
I love when people like that make the accoustic guitar talk. They turn the solo instrument into a choir with full orchestration. The best I ever managed with a guitar is to make it mumble slightly.
Nice cover version. Not only did you have the true essence of the song but you made it your own. You chord changes and singing bang on.
Good to have you on soundcloud Beamer.
Jim reading your lyrics and listening to you on soundcloud was very much like a eureka moment. Your song perfectly tells it about Angels. Your voice and playing fitted together like a hand in glove. As you know I love your songwriting, this one is extra special.
Thank you Mekidsmom and Bill
Bill you are a genius at making this forum fun and your words are what adds value. Dont Cross The Robot is a concept put into the right hands will work on all sorts of genres and levels. Your Blueprint is brilliant. I can't wait for someone to grab hold of the foundation you have laid and build on it,

You guys rock three wonderfully talented dudes. The combination of each of your inputs made the final product a entertaining experience that made me feel like I was a teenager again at a Youth dance.
Sorry Uncle Joe
My attempts at doing links havent been that good. I have edited my post above hopefully that will work better, My computer skills are very limited.
Thank you for your reply.

Hi Bill
I have thrown a rough attempt on soundcloud for a couple of days of your clever piece. Hopefully someone who is better at that sort of genre will put together something that will do your piece more justice. It is under Peatle Jville on Soundcloud.

I think you come from a community that has real good values. I am a white guy born to a English father and a part Fijian mother. As a kid I never thought of skin colour as on my mother side we are of all colours. As a kid living in Fiji for a while I never noticed that I was one of the few white kids around. Colour meant nothing apart from wishing my skin was darker so that I could handle the sun better.
Even down here at the bottom of the world Hank has a large fan base.
Jim you have a superb talent for putting life and its various aspects into song. As a poet and song writer with your clever video presentations I rate you up there with the best.
One of the best guitars I ever had was a Takemine. A New Zealand Journalist Mark Sainsbury is trying to be your look alike. If you get a chance CHECK his picture out online.http://www.radiolive.co.nz/Shows/MarkSainsbury.asphttp://www.radiolive.co.nz/Shows/MarkSainsbury.aspxx
I think your words tell it real good as they are. I can see these words been used in many differant ways top writing. I couldnt do these words justice I am sure some one on chordie will. This could be the start of a concept Album.
