Thanks for all the replies and rhymes from Seland Newydd,  that's New Zealand in Welsh BTW.

Jim, the innuendos were not meant in a rude way, a Kite is a bird, we have red Kites in Wales and there was a TV show about them which must have struck a chord. I guess you're also referring to the black eye (that can't be seen) which refers to the rejections we all get through life, so you can imagine the horrors this person is going through?

Ps. I think I've gone to writing verse because I've lost the power of songwriting. It'll come back eventually, it's best not to force these things.     

Pedr. An excellent piece of composing. I was surprised to hear an electric piano! Nimble fingers of the guitarist rocked, you know what I mean?
As you know I don't like modern jazz but that was an exception. The video was great also, thanks for the inclusion of the daffodil. I particularly enjoyed the image of the shadow man, very avant-garde which fit in nicely with the jazz music. All in all excellent.     

Grah I love that song. I'll have to make a point of looking him up. Thanks     

Pedr,  I remember seeing Porgy and Bess at my local flee pit when I was 14. Me and my mate walked out after 10 minutes and got our money back. I appreciate Gershwin music more now but not jazzed up.

Richard. I know what you mean. I don't think I'll ever go off my previous choice, but some of the named writers would also be on my list.

Jim, I agree with all your choices, they're names I would have posted myself but I was tired at the time...

Brian. Ringo also did some crackers too. Thanks for the mention, I wasn't hinting by the way.

Grah. I admit I don't know Warren Zevon, the others aren't my bag but wouldn't it be boring if we all liked the same music?

That's a great line Pedr( Peatle) my favourite is, take a look at my girlfriend, shes the only one ive got. Not much of a girlfriend, never seem to get a lot. ( what she got, not a lot)
Roger Hodgson, wrote that and many other Supertramp songs, now living in Canada I believe and still gigging and playing Supertramp songs. Find him on line for his live performances, highly recommended.     

They were a rock band forced into pop music, which is why the put a rock twist on their records.     

On my way to gigs I'd play a variety of cds from Beatles to Yes, White Snake basically anything that rocked including my own music.

As for unmown locks, in the 60s I worked at a hauliers garage and I kept being told that all the strength would drain from my hair and I'd be bald by the time I reached 30, well I'm 72 and I've still got some, mostly round my ears and the back of my head, so the mechanics didn't know everything!     

Roger Whiticker, I think that's how it's spelt, Mexican whistler.

BTW,  I'm Mandy Fly Me was a synth.

There's  a Chas and Dave track called Oi Mick give it some stick, that includes a little whistling     

Great song and performance. Thanks Pedr.     

Sleep is a wonderful thing Pedr, try it sometime?....LOL
Seriously though, the only line I remember from Casablanca is "play it again, Sam" and Bogey never even said that.
It raised a titter as Frankie Howerd used to say. Don't stop now.
