My full admiration of you joeyjoeyjoey for rejecting the thing in your life that wasn’t working and moving on to live the best life a man can live by breaking free of an addiction to a substance that was no good for you.

Topic: My Last Duo Post About Those Who Have It Together On Stage (1 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Back to Duos two people working together making music good I will make this post the last one in my contribution to the Easy Beat revival. I am not running away just back to not making this an every day or week thing. I have enjoyed learning a bit more about everyone on here in the last weeks. You are all good people thank you for your time and efforts to look in and post.
A big thank you to (Piri) Phill Williams for the work he has done making sure that we all comply with keeping this site a place with a good culture connected to music and our different outlook on life and the world.
Music history this woman was briefly married in 1964; and then divorced when she would not end her music career to stay home. She has no children. In a 2015 documentary she revealed that Bob Dylan once proposed to her, and she turned him down. She has a stage presence and a natural joyous charisma and even with the help of just one guitarist in this video she has it going on when performing. Born on July 10, 1939. She began her career with her family group in 1950.

I wrote this after hearing a lady on a train say to another person "my Father was a Opera lover and a Barbie Doll hating Statistician." For some reason it made me write this as I tried to conjure up in my head what he would talk like if someone met him. Rather than put the words here it's more of a thing you have to listen.to in order for it to work as it's a bit out there.. Link attached

Re: What Are two Of Your Favourite Covers Played live???? (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
EB It's no reflection on anyone else it just shows that my post didn't inspire a contribution from others and that how it goes sometimes in the big picture. I only got another couple of posts planed and then I will give chordie a break from me as I'm sure my stuff is not that interesting. It is what it is and I have no regrets.

Topic: Thank you America and music what do you think??? (0 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
What has come out of America musically impacted us here in New Zealand in a good and positive way. Though I'm not keen on another style of music which is gangster rap and its culture which has impacted some of our kids negatively. Putting that aside mostly the American influence has been positive short video attached. I would be interested in any one else thoughts on this subject.

Topic: This Song always Resonates With Me (2 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Here in New Zealand we use the words working class. The first time I went to the USA a lady asked me if I liked American Country Music and I told her, I liked Johnny Cash singing The Man In Black . She said to me your obviously a Blue Collar Man . At the time I thought she meant I like blue shirts and I thought thats a bit of a weird thing to say about me liking a song about a man in black. Later on I found out when the penny dropped that she meant "Working Class" her statement made sense.

Re: Soundcloud recording - When Someone Breaks your Heart (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Good one Jim I like it. Works good also with your voice and style of playing. I could imagine singing that in my young days after a few drinks with EB when we use to have a few more drinks than we should. I remember walking home in the middle of the night with my mates as a young fella singing that song Dead Skunk in the middle of the road and changing the lyrics to Dead Drunk in the middle of the road. But with your song it is lyrically perfect so it doesn't need no change. Bravo Bravo my friend I love it.

Topic: Johnny Cash Sister And Australia (1 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
In the few last days I put up a link with Johnny Cash's ex son in law and his band doing great harmonies. This man was married to his daughter from from 1983 to 1988. Now I’m going to put up a link with Johnny Cash sister doing a song and recording with an Australian band This song was originally written for Johnny Cash by the rock group Coldplay, but Johnny passed away before he could record it. So this is Joanne Cash singing a song meant for her brother with an Ozzy band.

Neo your right at about (4;06) did the rewind and there he is a guy in the audience wiping his hand across his eye as someone might do at a funeral in mourning after hearing a eulogy to person with a life well lived. The strength of a good song I guess or music is how it impacts our emotions??

Re: The Story Of Ringo That Many Don't Know (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Cheers Richard and Piri I think the one thing that Ringo shows in that video is Poetry and music can be considered a song but I do hope it will never get called old fashion rap.
I think this next Video attached is a better example of the legendary Ringo and his versatility. He is more than the Beatles best drummer he can make you laugh also.

Re: Peatle Fever (3 replies, posted in Poems)
Nurse Nurse I have got this curse
Can we hit reverse.
These words that rhyme
Are taking up all my time
Following me all around
Anywhere where there is ground they can be found
Please help me turn this around
I try to throw then in the water
And still they won’t drown
My friends and family are now calling me the poetry clown
It wont be long before they make me leave chordie town
Put me down if they can't turn me around
Before they lay me down and put me in a hearse
Help me get rid of this curse of verse

Stanley Victor Paskavich
This one is for Stanley Victor Paskavich a poet and a war veterans advocate in the USA who I chat with regularly online. This OZZY band that is attached made it big in this part of the world but it failed to crack the rest of the world. I wasn't a big fan of theirs, but I thought this song was great when I have heard them playing this one in concert. It is one of those songs that hits the emotional heart of what many war frontline vets have to adjust too after what they have been through.
