There is a lot of music out there. Fighting my way through all those different genres means I can’t really nowadays call myself a folky a rocker or whatever. One genre I can’t get into when I am at home is disco. There have been times when my brain has been at half mast after a few strong beverages that I have hit the dance floor. Now that is not a pretty sight me dancing even worse is I have been spotted partying and dancing to disco music.

I think people writing songs who are chasing a hit on popular outlets like radio rely too much on tried and true formulas or get stuck in the trendy commercial thing decided by marketers. That is why I don’t listen to radio much in recent times.

Recently in conversation about music people have been talking about the length of songs many saying two to three minutes should be the max. To me that's like saying I've got a short attention span and can't take any more. I really think that songs length doesn't matter as long as it fits with what it's trying to say. Recently I listened to Bob Dylan's , Murder Most Fowl which I think is a brilliant epilogue to President Kennedys assassination. Many say it is a silly rant that takes too long but to me it tells it well and the length is appropriate. I suppose with Bob you either hate or love him. What do you think. For me Bobs song Murder Most Fowl is more than just a song about the killing of President Kennedy, To me it is also a 17 minute piece about the passing of an era and a time in history that many around my age grew up in.

Jeff your song got a lot going for it and you play guitar and sing better than I can. There is a lot of love for a special lady and a special home environment that's what makes your song give of the warm fuzzy's of joy and love in the family nest..

I was thinking or is that finking , finger and thumb could be good rhyming slang for strum.
I was finking about grabbing my arf a dozen string machine and having a finger and thumb. That might confuse things the change of language when ordering a finger and thumb ( Rum) at the bar.

Whenever I start talking about Olives and Olive Oil with some of my friends who are my age or older the conversation has often ended up going to Popeye and Olive Oyl his girlfriend. People then start talking about tins of Spinach something that Popeye ate to give him strength. I have eaten spinach but I have never seen it in a tin.

Thank you Piri and may you also have many more adventures.

Annwyl brawd Piri you are right warm olive oil helps. My in-laws introduced me to it. The olive itself is rich in vitamin B6 which contribute to the proper function of the nervous system and boost the metabolism. Olives also contain vitamins C, A, and E which all help a variety of functions throughout the body. When I was in Greece staying with my in-laws it took me a while to develop a taste for olives as there are so many different kinds. After a while I found the ones that suited my pallet. Maree’s parents had olive trees and made their own olive oil at home. They also made their own cheese from the milk of goats kept by her step mothers brother in-law. Another thing I liked was they grew their own eating grapes. It was really communal the making of alot of the homemade cooking things. Over summer Maree’s parents kitchen would be full of woman gathering together to make cheese and oil and other things for the whole extended family.

Iechyd da!

Both of my thumbs are the same size. What I have noticed as a right hander is the Osteoarthritis in my left guitar chord changing hand fingers gives me more pain and grief and less pain in my right hand strumming and finger picking movements.

Jim I like the way you turned this song into a duet.

2022-01-07 06:06:04

Trev that is a nice production and a good song.

Jim those two opening lines have a magical flow that took me right into your song.
Sitting by the campfire, and my guitar weeps so sad
As I’m dreaming of the soft look that her eyes once had
I can imagine a man drifting from one place to another his guitar his best friend singing and thinking about how his way of life meant he lost the love of a beautiful lady.
The only change I would make to the first line is I would change the word and to as.
Sitting by the campfire as my guitar weeps so so sad.
Brilliant song you written there tells a good story.

Get Through To You

I have been writing lyrics for many a long year.

I’m just hoping one day my words will get through to you.

I’ve been singing and playing bad since before I can remember.

As I get older my lyrics get happier as the young ones get sad again.

I don’t want to be sad I want to be happy.
