Far out, now that is memory lane. I remember going to see them live at the Hamilton Founders theatre back in the day. Their costumes were a hardcase and how they used to move on stage. I remember those costumes well lol. Great music and a crazy faze lol

easybeat, I enjoyed listening to that, also a good foot tapping song, a great beat and good message. I miss getting those lovely old handwritten letters, which took time to write, time to post and were lovely to hold, read through and keep if you so desired. Ahhhh the good old days.

Re: AUGUST 2024 – ANYTHING GOES! (9 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, that was very enjoyable listening and watching you both play. The smiles said it all at the end, a good foot tapping effort by you both
I have my Fathers auto harp, but I haven't learnt where all the chord buttons are yet, so have to keep stopping to look down at them which kind of ruins it lol but I guess it`s just another practice, practice, practice thing if you want to get any good at it.

Re: Kiwi Classic No.6 (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
That was a great song, used to dance along to that at parties. I never knew the lead singer was from Split Enz, some new I learned! Sang along to it, still a great song.
TIGLJK, I already brought the book from Brian, he did an awesome job of it for sure.

Oh wow, that was amazing and what an honor for Neil Finn to have meet and played with not only a talented musician but hero. Thanks for sharing, Brian, it was very touching to watch.

Re: AUGUST 2024 – ANYTHING GOES! (9 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, good to see you performing your song live and glad you added the final verse. I did however struggle to hear the lyrics of the final verse and even used the transcript which wasn't much help for the last verse lol. If you get the chance, write the words of the last verse down on here so I can have another listen. I liked the subtle changes you made in the song, the clicking of fingers, the end outro was good on guitar, slightly different to the original outro, which all added to it. The only other comment was it was harder to hear overall, no doubt being live makes it harder with the recording side of things, whereas the first version you did for us last month, it was quite easy to hear the lyrics. Anyway, a fun song, I like it, well done.

I remember this song but the first time I have seen this video. I never knew Bruno was part of the band, I really only knew him as an actor. Cool easybeat, you're showing us some history here.

TIGLJK, I could totally visualize that scene. I would love to hear you play this or anyone else on here with an electric guitar to hear what it sounds like. Nice one Jim.

Re: JULY FSOTM – UPLIFTING AND OR COMEDY (15 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
TIGLJK, thanks for having a listen and comments
Sadly, I haven't had time to write any songs, it's been hard enough getting time to record covers. Hoping to do more now the painting is finished, though more painting awaits in the future. Maybe you could write a parody suitable for me to attempt? You're the man with the writing skills ![]()
neophytte and easybeat, thanks both of you for taking time to have a listen and your comments as well ![]()

Hey good to see you Jets, haven't seen you in a while on here. How about covering that song you mentioned? or writing one for this month? ![]()
neophytte, that was great, really enjoyed it. Liked the lyrics, the way you sang in it, including the little speaking bit haha and of course guitar wise, it suited the song very much. Look forward to hearing the next verse. Maybe you could write more about your reaction in the 3rd verse or make up something that happened for a 3rd verse ![]()
