Thank to Jim, Brian and Pedr (Peatle) seriously its just observations on a typical summers morning. Jim, you have my permission to use that line. Brian, it never occurred to me to make it into a video, I know they once experimented with smellyvision...imagine watching it on your TV as the smell of bacon cooking filled your room, you'd never get to the end the frying pan would be on while you searched the fridge for bacon, sausage and eggs...my stomach just rumbled...
Pedr, I owe a lot to you for this poem, written in your style, don't sue me pal, buddy, brother?

Topic: Ah, Morning (5 replies, posted in Poems)
This was inspired by Peatles recent poem "Mother with the lost child" and the sounds, smells and atmosphere of a summer s morning
Ah, Morning.
6 a.m.
A glow on the dark sky
Fading stars on the eastern horizon pre-empts
The rising of our golden orb.
Birds come to life and chirp, squeak, flutter and fly
Breakfast of worms and crawling things
There's a scurrying as creatures of the night
Keep to the shadows on their way home and safety.
Ah, morning
The sun is now making it's way towards the west.
It seems to roll over roof tops and tree tops
While sometimes hiding behind red clouds that fade away...slowly
The aroma of baking bread pleases my senses
As the baker empties his oven and stacks the warm loaves.
But that is not the only gift as bacon fries in cafes and kitchens.
Grass is being cut by a council worker in the park
The scent is heady and pleasant.
Now the once deserted road fills with cars and vans
Busses and lorries all on their way somewhere
Petrol, diesel and now electric hum
Cars, bikes and scooters pass by with little sound
While exhaust fumes still fill the air
How much longer? the inquisitive ask
Ah...clear my mind... smells, scent, perfume
An olfactory orgasm
9 a.m.
Bread, bacon, new mown grass...heaven
And I think...
It's good to be alive

I have to duck often and have the scars to prove it! Yes very droll and would fit nicely into a book not necessarily a kids book. I suppose it's pointless to say keep em coming as they will anyway, so keep em coming

Re: Artist of the day (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I'm with Jan here, great voice but musically not my cup of porridge. Kind of reminded me of those depressing French songs of the 40s and 50s. Just goes to show that there is an audience for every style.

As we get older we seem to hanker for our younger days. But would you really want to be 16 again? I wouldn't not in these days.
Back to your song, you've captured the essence of youth and young love Jim. I hope Mojo has time to record a cover.

It began good then hit the what do I do next button? Once the rap began it lost me. Sorry Brian not to my taste. Don't let that deter you from enjoying.

Re: first bombard (6 replies, posted in Poems)
This is exactly what's been bugging me for quite a while. I thought at first it was just rap music...two words that were never meant to be spoken
in the same sentence! Then along came electropop...think of a catchy line then repeat over a heavy bass and drum track until your brains turn to mush. These days there are some songs that are worth listening to, but not many, sadly. This could be an effect of my age. Never the less Brian an excellent poem.

A thought provoking powerful piece, Pedr. It just goes to show that poetry doesn't need to rhyme to strike a chord! I think I may be the subject of this work...how did you know?

Re: Ignorance and Beer (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nice one Graham. I think all performers know this guy or his relatives across the country and probably world wide. Reminds me of the time I was doing a pub gig, and I never play too loud, never had any complaints anyway unless it's turn it up! Any hoo, this Irish fella was sat near the front went to the landlord , the landlord came to me and said turn it down. I was very annoyed and almost packed up and went home as it was quiet. During the break the guy came up to me and said thanks for turning down, I was talking to my mate that I haven't seen for years, you can turn it up again now cos he's gone! I tt uphought there's another bar in the next room why didn't you go in there? So second half I could turn it up to a sensible volume, but the rebel in me said stuff you pal and left it down quiet. Revenge?

Re: Rain Move On. (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Pedr, I was expecting you under an umbrella? Rain can be a pain in the nether regions but also a life saver. Seems its also inspired you to write and perform a cracking song. Hope your problems with fingers and other bits can and will be relieved soon. Be well my friend.

Yo Jan. I tried emailing Roger to no reply but it seems he has another email which he does respond to. I'll ask him to get in touch.
I was chatting with an Englishman the other day and I mentioned how nice the weather was and he said bet it rains by the time I finish work, so I said yeah, sods law. to which he replied, in all the time I've been in Wales I've never heard a Welshman use that frase...well you have now
One of my favs comes from my mother, "be careful, if you come home dead I'll kill you" I think she meant it as a joke?
