Cheers Piri, it happens to me often that blank look from people when I think I'm been funny. My humour is a little too warped for some to get.
Brian, I was surprised to see this post come up again as it was something I posted about four months back. I had to check out my recording again myself as I couldn't remember what it sounded like.
Season greetings to all of you chordie people out there.
Good one Jim you are keeping very fit and healthy with your running. I miss being able to run. Your right laughter is also good for you Laughter it increases the endorphins that are released by your brain. When we laugh, it doesn't just lighten our load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in our body.
All the best to you and your family.
Pete
Richard, I guess living in a country that is periodically scorched by catastrophic bushfires becomes a consideration when looking at a location or suburb to settle in when buying a house.? I hope that you and your family are keeping safe.
Excellent, Jim. You a have a wonderful ability to write songs. I like that line about keeping a song in your heart to keep troubles away.
Richard, it is good to hear Jai is developing into a interesting and good creative young man.
Good one Grah I did the test with my headphones on which I think helped. I got 13 out of 15. the two I got wrong were questions 1 and 15. I was expecting to do much worse as I don't have what is known as perfect pitch. That was a good bit of fun. I think I might have fluked a couple.
Good one Jan you are good value. I love those words adorning and pouring, mooring, flooring and clawing. The cat and the boat morning yawning after a night of a husband snoring.
Take care of your voice I hope you get over your cough soon.
Thank you, Richard and Jan, for taking the time to have a listen, watch and comment. It would be good to see some others give FSOTM a shot.
Here is a quickly put together song with the word broken in it. I thought I better give this month a shot in the hope it will inspire others to have a go at CSOTM.

Good one Richard and Jai,
EB, this kid could have a good future in the shearing shed.
This kid could be cheaper than a dentist.
Jim, you know how to capture the pain that someone feels in a relationship that is going of the rails. A heart been torn apart while trying to find some light in the dark. Your song communicates the turmoil that this person is going through in a song that many will empathize with.
Thank you, Jim, for me to recharge my batteries when the world gets a bit pressurized, I find watching nature and not really thinking. about anything gets me back on track.
Cheers Piri it is good to get everyone's feedback and also to know people are taking an interest in what I do.

Good topic, I think we all have those times and I for one, love to walk by the sea, go to the beach or go off walking in the woods. Good soul food.
Cheers Jan, it is wonderful to see you back on chordie. It is good to be pain free when playing the guitar. Now I don't have the dexterity I use to have in my fingers I have been working on different ways of playing the guitar. I agree walking by the sea or in the forest is good soul food. On clear nights checking out the sky always fills me with awe.
Cheers Richard, When I brought the guitar brand new. I had the shop set it up for me. I think that maybe I should get it checked out by a luthier and see if the action needs lowering. I am not that technical also I am not sure how or where the truss rod is on my Ibanez. I will have to over summer sometime take my guitar into the shop for a bit of TLC.
Good one EB you hit the nail on the head with this one.
Here is a song I wrote about relaxing and enjoying myself by the sea.

Jim, your lyrics tell it good and many will feel they are about their own relationship breakdown. The sleepiness and that feeling bout half past dead.
Richard it is good to have you put another song on here from you. You cover a wide range of genres it's good to see that you don't limit yourself to one style. .
Grah, I like the way that you can take music and play it in all different sort of settings that people wouldn’t necessarily expect to see a person performing. Playing shoe songs in a shoe shop and obviously all the puns that can go with it like on a shoestring budget and so on. Having to go to the hospital in recent times one of the things that helped lift my spirits on a couple of visits was musicians playing music in the entrance foyer.

This go's out to Glen RIP .
Grah, that is a good song. It takes me back to the days here in NZ when many young Kiwis rode British bikes.
If you owned a Norton Commando here back then you had a much sort after bike due to them costing a bit more than other bikes. Milk-bar cowboys or bodgies who owned motorbikes was the name many of the young rebellious ones were known as here.
Jandle wrote:I liked that one Peatle, very much how many of us were feeling re voting this year and who for this time around. I could relate to your lyrics in this song. I like how you put your thoughts to song. Nicely done 
Thank you, Jan. As I get older my cynicism grows every time I hear a politician speak. I often wonder is the real truth being fed to us or is it being obscured by irrelevant or misleading information. How much is truth how much is propaganda.
Cheers Jan, I love your poem on words. Many of the new ways people use words to describe things sometimes gets me confused such as when someone says that's real sick meaning it is real good. Since I'm on about words here is a rundown on some Kiwi slang attached https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7mwczj4s20&t=312s
