I've had a few of these lines in my head for a while and today they seemed to gel together. This is what I came up with.

Phill
Try a little Crown Royal - it's so smooth it doesn't taste like whiskey.
On Ice with a splash of 7-up or sprite!
I am not a whiskey drinker - don't really care for it - but Crown is delightful once in a while ![]()
Jim
PS Still a really good song Jeff !!!

Let your playing make you happy, whatever you play.
They're people here on chordie that are always willing to help.
I see you are from Wales - a couple others on here I believe are from around there as well.
enjoy your music

Done for SOTM - but thought I'd post it here as well as the other post eventually will be closed.
My playing and singing aren't good, had a couple screw ups, but thought it was a pretty cool song.

Zurf
Thanks my friend ! That was really cool. I liked it a lot though it is way different that what my version is.
(Mostly because you are actually a musician and I have basically no musical ability
)
Thanks Jan - I wrote it a while ago, but this weekend, my best friends son (who is the lead guitarist for Maddy & Tae) stayed with us and he was telling me that when the played on Prince Edward Island the night before he managed to get some free time - and went in the North Atlantic for a swim - he told me it was really cold. It inspired me to make a few changes to the lyrics.
Thanks again Zurf - loved it.

Re: JULY 2022 FSOTM – DOOR, CHILD, GOODBYE, RAIN, LOVE (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
I wrote this song a while ago ( I think Phill inspired it somehow - I forget
- spent today totally changing it to a blues song.
got four of the words - Rain, Goodbye, Love, Door
hoping someone (maybe Graham ?) could give this a shot -
I will probably post a version later this week - I am heading out for few days.

Jan Fabulous !! I loved your voice when you dropped down for "Darling" ! I still think your vice is golden and I also still think you should try it with an acoustic guitar - maybe you could get Peatle or Brian to play for you if you don't feel comfortable. You have what I have always said is the difference between average and great voices - uniqueness. Thanks for sharing this !

It was called chordiestock - I never went but it looked like so much fun.
There are many threads and photos somewhere on here about it. I think Mekidsmom, baldguydude, uncle joe and a bunch of others hosted some. Pretty sure Zurf went to a few.
It would be great to have one again.

Re: Untitled (5 replies, posted in Poems)
Jeff
I agree with everyone - I think it may be your best one.
The title " Blank Page" would be so mysterious and an attraction magnet in MHO !
It is a hook unto itself - it could mean a million things - and make a person want to find out.
I am in complete agreement with Phill - it is one of those songs that you go - Darn - wish I had thought of that and been the one that wrote it ! ![]()
Well done my friend - can't wait to hear it.

That's the only thing I thought was the Gin

Well done, my cryptic muse !
