Ok 3 very rushed entries from me this month's FSOTM as we only had 2 entries. They are 3 songs I haven't really played much before and one I haven`t played before at all, so please excuse the very basic singing and strumming in them as no time to practice them and we are already into March.

Jim, I listened to them both and I prefer version 2 better as well.
Wow thats good to know, I might just check it out myself Peatle, cheers.
At first, I thought it was the Huka falls but then I realized it was about a dam being built for the people and basically things had to die for the dam to be built. At first, I thought the Clyde dame. Kinda made me sad actually because that is what happens, sometimes something else has to die or give way to some new. Using the fantail and wood pigeon in amongst the native bush by the newly to be built dam made its point visually as well as the lyrics. However, as the song proceeded, I realized I was wrong and it was Manipouri dam, power station, which I have been to Manipouri but never to the power station. I remember this song, but I never took the time to understand what it was about, or who the artist was until watching the video you posted. Thanks for sharing Brian. I have no idea who commissioned it, but it sounds like either the Greenies of some type of similar group OR the power station itself but I dont think so.
Kinda feels like I am cheating on this one as we often take the campervan over on the Interislander and as the songs suggests, it`s always a great start to our annual South Island holiday. We drive the campervan on board, head up to the Premium lounge, where we eat and drink as much as we want before heading off to Blenheim to stay the first night before heading off on our journey South.
Those lyrics! Awesome beamer!
I liked what you have done Peatle. It worked as far as I am concerned. I liked the echoing voice. How did you do that may I ask?
Interesting jazz version of F.M The Chain. I enjoyed it but still prefer F.M`s original.
I love Folk - Bluegrass music at any time, I love the sound, the rhythm, everything about it. I really enjoyed listening to these guys though the topic was a bit grizzly.
Thanks Brian, for you doing this. Though I am late to the party and have been MIA this month due to a family member in hospital and then passing away. I am trying to catch up tonight all that I have missed on Chordie. I hope you keep this up, it's been interesting and you have introduced me to some artists and songs I hadn't heard of before. keep going, it interesting.
Having said that, this is probably the only one so far that I don't like much. Didn't like the style or much about it.
Frank and Johnny, both artists I have enjoyed over the years, thanks for sharing.
wow, that was good, I hadn't heard of that song before. I am realizing easybeat, you are miles ahead of me in the music industry with all these artists and their music.
lyrics are very sad 
After all these years (36 years to be exact) living in Wellington, I have never heard that song before easybeat. Cheers for sharing.
wow that was not only a great listen on this song, but the information you guys gave to go along with it, very interesting. P.S., I loved that movie Papillon.
Loved it! I am a fan.
What a guitar, awesome! Many hours of enjoyment ahead of you with that beamer. Hey, great to see you again 
I am Sailing - Rod Stewart
She works hard for the money - Donna Summers
Drunken Sailer
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Crocodile Rock - Elton John
Elcondor Pasa - Simon and Garfunkel
Hound Dog - Elvis Presley
any more suggestions before I close this months suggestions? Come on I am sure you lot have some
P.S. I will try tonight to do something for this month, only 2 entries sadly.
Hi everyone, sorry been absent most of this month, had a very close family member in hospital for a couple of weeks up north, sadly they have passed away, hence my being absent on chordie.
Anyhow ......
neophytte, that little mic looks great, have you invested in one yet?
Peatle, as far as I am concerned trying new things in music is GREAT!!! Keep on experimenting
Jim, this shorter version is good and it's a great song
neophytte, great setting the Vinyl Cafe to perform in. Well done on your original song, nicely performed. Only other comment I would make is, it was very hard to hear in parts what they words were that you were singing, not sure if it was because of the recording or the background public noise or the guitar louder than your vocals.
Peatle, that was a clever way to write and perform a song. You had the old man and the young man responding to the audience. Very clever, well done
Great suggestions neophytte.
Anyone else?
