Thanks Neophytte for the comments on my songs. Yes the first one was one I played a few years ago now, I was showing re-showing it as it was one Zurf had done too. The 2nd song agree with your comments.
Neo I enjoyed your 2 songs, particularly the one with your son who played along side of you on piano, it sounded great having him accompany you. Nicely done and performed well.
Jets, that definately rocked along, nice one, a big thumbs up from me.
That was great jets, the style of the song and music 100% suited you. Loved it 
Phill, love that, well said, well written and true
Peatle, wonderful insight and I reckon you have covered just about every avenue of music in that poem, NAILED IT 
Peatle, thoroughly enjoyed that, you nailed it. The video footage you showed exactly how its been here. The rain has been unbelievable this year! Non stop and as I am writing the rain has started yet again. I have had it enough of it but like you said in the your song depicting the weather down under, I do enjoy being snug as a bug in my house with warm heaters and a nice cosy feel about the place. Makes me thankful that I am cosy and comfortable. Peatle its wonderful to see you back participating on here
Nicely done neopyhtte, you performed this one really well. It suited you vocally and the style of song suited your voice. Nice one and a big thumbs up from me.
Jets, let us know when you have put this one up
Already commented in FSOTM Jim but once again, well performed and good lyrics, I liked it
Zurf I remember hearing and seeing photo`s and video`s from mekidsmom and Topdown`s get togethers for chordie people but I didn't know you or Uncle Joe had hosted them, so that's great that a few of you held get togethers. Would have been lots of fun.
Yes I agree jets, the a lot of the old familiar names that used to be here I haven't seen on here in ages. Miss the good conversations, the laughs and of course the music they presented. I haven't been on here as long as some of you but long enough to remember how it was.
Nicely done TIGLJK, you performed it well and the lyrics are great
I am hoping too get a second song in before the end of the month but still fighting a cough and sniffles, at this stage its not looking good.
A quick and sloppy try at how I heard Jim's song.
I liked it Zurf, you performed it really well. I liked it with the talking and blues style, very effective, you had the right type of voice for it as well. I think TIGLJK will be very pleased with your attempt as his song. Great song Jim
Here is one attempt at a song with the word CHILD in it. I did mess up at the end but didn't change it as still getting over a cold/flu bug, so coughing
and my voice was getting a bit scratchy. I hope I get to do another song this month, but will see how I go with this throat.

TIGLJK that is well written once again and yes awesome it has 4 of the words. Look forward to hearing how you do this one too Jim.
Phill, thanks for the tip for sore throats, I have made a note of it. Thankfully I haven't had a sore throat, just an annoying cough but on the mend. Yes its always interesting when you come across old songs, poems, writings that you have forgotten about, brings back memories.
An oldie and a goodie neophytte, nicely covered.
Hey! That's cool! I really like how you started out with staccato strums and syllables and then worked into a steady strum pattern and straight singing. What a neat arrangement.
The second song, Early Morning Rain, is a Gordon Lightfoot classic. It's been covered by nearly everyone from the 1970's folk scare, but probably most memorably by Peter, Paul, and Mary. I love how in this song in the first portion Mr. Lightfoot almost whistfully sings about how the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast. Then at the end of the song, the woman he loves is flying home - quite some distance if it's a three hour flight in a 707 (we are left to presume "she" is a woman and not the aircraft - a beautiful bit of underwriting where the listener fills in the blanks), and he remains behind and practically spits out the phrase "cold and drunk as I can be" and we can imagine him on the ground near the airfield watching the plane leave with her and without him. And we are left to imagine the purpose in her coming was to take him home. It's such a wonderfully written song where he gives no details but provides enough hints for the listener to fill in a complete story.
Thanks Zurf, more accidental on my part rather than skills
I looked up the song Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot. A cool song, I have no idea how I haven't heard it before.
The door opened wide and the child burst in
A tornado in a Macintosh and short pants
Shaking off the rain and clutching his nanna
I love you nan, he said and kissed her cheek
Were off now to Disney land... goodbye, goodbye
Yahoo, he screamed and was gone in a flash
We walked to the door and waved as the car drove away
See you soon, enjoy and closed the door.
Tea? Yeah why not!
Excellent bit of writing there Phill, love it You used all the words and made it work, great stuff
Zurf, really good both of them. The first song, Bob Dylan, I knew well and have covered it myself quite some time ago. But mine was no where as good as yours, your guitar skills are good in this song and I only had the ukulele. The second song I actually don't know, so it was new to me but you sounded good in it. Both songs you performed really well vocally and instrumentally.
Here is my version of it done 5 years ago and sung probably way too fast https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/10010135a
Cleverly written Phill, the imagery of the poem really came to the fore. Hope you and your wife recover well from CV. As for myself, no CV just a stupid cold/flu bug for the last 2 weeks with lots of coughing, which is getting very annoying.
Loving the suggestions everyone
Nice one Grah and I might have ago at your song next month too but it wont sound anywhere as good as what you have done that I can promise you lol
Loving the suggestions everyone
Another good song by you, very relevant to this crazy world at the moment. I think we all need to laugh more in amongst the turmoil. Great song
That song definitely made me grin lol, great lyrics
