Drink more beer if it makes you put your songs out. Releasing your song electronically for Christmas perfect timing.

Re: Finally!!!!! A PACEMAKER!!!! (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Wonderful News, that pacemaker should have been put in earlier on. It is a shame with technology taking jobs away and creating less need for people in the work force that most big Corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes. Any good society needs to look after its citizens health through tax dollars. Today as an example 70% of the worlds share trading is done by computers. We all have noticed technology that has replaced people in the work force and the demise of small business being able to compete in the market place. We now have the majority of big Corporates not paying their fare share of taxes worldwide. They usually donate some money back to society as a marketing exercise. Little Islands that are tax havens might benefit but most of the developed world misses out. Governments and bean counters need to value their citizens more.

Sorry my computer sent last post as I started writing. Your not the backing vocalist your part of a duo which works great, love listening to it. I could Imagine you and Brian doing a good cover of Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Are Made For Walking.

Re: Heavens Door-Survivor (20 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Jim I actually think your voice has it own wonderful quality it has a Bob sort Dylanish feel but it is still is unique to you. I just record on a cheap cell phone and don't have any fancy gear. My cover is not that great, what I was hoping to sort of pass on was you could make the song even more yours by subtly getting away from knocking on Heavens Door. I love this song lyrically I have a feeling that you could pull it away a bit more from the knocking on Heaven Door backing and make it even more yours. Having said that your version is far superior to my attempt. Your a song writer extraordinaire. I, like you think that Phills musical talent is freaking awesome.

Re: Heavens Door-Survivor (20 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Wow great lyrics I would do it with just two chords G and C. I will bang it out that way and pop it up on soundcloud for a couple of days. Hope you don't mind . I will take it down because it is yours. All I can say is it is a great song. I just want you to hear it done by some one else.

Re: New Member Saying Hello (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Greetings John as I am hopeless at music theory and work by feel, I was wondering is there some where on the net that I could hear some of your sounds.
Many of my fellow Kiwi music dabblers use soundcloud to release their musical ideas to the world. There is also up on soundcloud a group of us having ago at adapting Strummer Bill and his wife's LOVE poem into a song. Phill Williams and Kiki Jan plus others have put their If Sunshine Were Mine on soundcloud. This chordie is a site full of diverse wonderful people welcome.

Re: Rugby Playoffs! (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Go the All Blacks will be heard from one end of New Zealand to the other when they confront our Aussie opposition.
The All Blacks will start with one of two Haka's either Ka mate or Kapa Pango. Ka mate was written by a famous Maori Chief Te Rauparaha.
The first Part Ka mate Ka mate Ka ora Ka Ora Tis death Tis death Tis Life Tis Life. Or in other words I may die. I may Live. So its a commitment by the All Blacks to put their life's on the line for the battle against the Aussies.
The other possible Haka that could be used is Kapa Pango. The first part roughly translated into English is.
This is our land that rumbles.
Its our time its our moment.
This defines us as All Blacks.
Its our Time Its our moment.
Our dominance our supremacy will triumph.
I hope you all enjoy the game.

Bill you are a positive force. Where would anyone be in life if it wasn't for honest interaction. If we all thought the same how boring. I have thrown another one of my songs up on YouTube about putting words and music together. Hope you give it a listen and watch.

Re: Peatle Jandle Mazzy Beestie and NOW ` MAC` (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have had the pleasure of hearing Jandle and Mac sing together they are magic. Easybeat playing guitar with them is like a hand fitting into a glove a perfect match.. I am glad they are not butchers as the receiver of the cut of their action would have been in big trouble. Now I know what that song the first cut is the deepest is all about.
Loved Mac first up song on soundcloud. Only problem with the name Mac is there is too many of that name on soundcloud making it hard to find. I was only able to find her by going through easybeat's soundcloud.
Now that I am a Chordian does that make me a member of a strange sect????
As a Chordian do we have to practise weird rituals?????

Re: Dondra's Answer To The "Sunshine Song" (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Dondra and Bill you radiate beautiful warm loving sunshine.
Dondra I can feel her warmth as the words jump of my computer screen and down into my soul.
Yesterday my Maree and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary and last night even though it was dark I felt the sunshine of Bill's original words.
Now we have Dondra,s moving words as well.
Special gifts like sunshine are so, so very rare.
Thank you dear friends.
