WOW...truth be told regarding politics and politicians. Well done Pete. At election time I usually get on my soap box and tell anyone that will listen to get down the polling station and vote. They usually come back with..what is the point? One vote won't make any difference and I say if everyone thought that we'd have a dictatorship because there'd be no one to oppose the crackpot ideas they'd come up with...remember Hitler? And I could mention a few more recent and present ones!
I've turned a reply into a rant haven't I?
Great work buddy     

Brian, Pete, Jim. Thanks for commenting. There is a lot more to the story than I've written about. I was not completely without fault. I was a guy in my twenties and I think you know what that means? It was a traumatic time for me, I'm not the most romantic person but I still needed love. I believe that when you give love if it's not returned then you soon lose that love and that is what happened.
It was over a year later I met Ann, all my wild oats sewn and I was ready to settle down. All the love I needed was lavished on me by Ann and her family. We have our own family which I cherish. We have our ups and downs and I see my story repeating itself, so it's difficult to stand back and not give advice.     

Looks a beaut, bet she plays sweet?     

so many, Glen Frey, Jimmy Hendrix, Clapton, Steve Howe, any/all of the Beatles, Roger Hodgeson, Ian Anderson ad infinitum...     

Pete...you scraped a few bones on that one... still giggling     

my grass is green
as green as a bean
a green bean of course
a green bean running
a runner bean, therefore
a flyer in the airforce
a pilot in a grey suit
not a business man in his flute ( cockney rhyming slang for suit)
a flute to make the sound toot
a journey takes it's own route
or maybe just a plant root
or just a shoot of grass     

Pedr,
why worry about rhyming? It's the story your poem tells that counts and the way it's told and both those criteria are reached. Outside of the South seas, your style is unique so don't be discouraged by apparent lack of interest. If it wasn't for the likes of you and Jim this forum would only be frequented by people that can't get their song book to work, and what a waste that would be?
I look forward to hearing the finished version of your song.

Very poignant Pedr. No one should pass un-noticed that's why I hate war and guns in general, thousands of lives lost, The generals say a few practiced sentiments and the family left to mourn, then told to pull themselves together. I know Malcom didn't die in those circumstances but your poem puts me in mind of that human abomination.

Your poem is  so heartfelt and once again describes superbly the loss felt by his nearest and dearest.

Very cleverly written Grah. I caught many of the references but not all I fear? Don't worry about your voice the husky sound adds a little more character..lol     

Pete, I never knew that banter and off music topic was not allowed? There's been lots of posts in "chat" regarding fishing kayaking sports etc. My opinion on that is; if you don't have an opinion or are not interested go to the next post or begin your own thread with a topic that interests you!
Ann tells me she comes third after music and my grandkids, I can't argue that!
I don't bother with other sites. I can't be doing with trolls and the like. I am on Twitter but rarely go there. I've always tried to be friendly and helpful to all our members and thought everyone else was too?
The forums are for our members to ask questions, get help, give opinions and most of all help others.     

Great job on the video Jim.     

Pete...you're a crazy kid. This sounds like those old blues tracks from the 30s. Does anyone else have the guts to record themselves making words and music up as they go along? Now that's a challenge
