Thanks neo, yep reckon that fits the categories, I will have to go find it and have a listen.
TIGLJK, awesome, you have nailed it with this song (covers all the categories too) but I really like the song as well. I will definitely give it ago, hopefully I can come up with something.

Awww that was touching Peatle, thankyou, made my day reading that
neophytte and Phill, yep hard when there's no other Chordians near you to catch up with. Still its nice some of you manage to email and keep in touch via other social media so at least that is something. I remember the days when mekidsmom used to host an annual event for the Americans that could make it. That looked like lots of fun.

Re: JUNE 2022 FSOTM – A DAY OF THE WEEK AND OR NUMBERS (18 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, your first song, Blue Monday, sounded good, nicely put together with the reverb, made it affective.
Your second and third song Honey Sunday. In both cases the sound quality wasn't the best (and I can understand why because of the time period when equipment isn't what it is today). The drum in both videos became the focus because of the loudness. And agree with you, the young girls performance was better in the 3rd video. But I enjoyed seeing a young enthusiatic group of people getting together and jamming, having fun which is what music is all about.

Topic: Catch Up (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi everyone, seems to be a bit on the quiet side in here lately, so thought I would drop in and say howdy to you all. Had a nice catch up with easybeat aka Brian today for coffee and a bite to eat at a nice café. We of course chatted about Chordie, music in general and what we have been doing lately, (though I realized afterwards I actually hadn't filled easybeat on much I had been doing) as we got focused on music and book writing and people we knew or hadn't seen in awhile. Anyways, it was great to catch up, see the face behind the music and in Brian's case poems and published author of a book! We had hoped Peatle could have joined us today being the only 3 active Kiwi`s on Chordie but not to be today as it turned out, hopefully next time Pete
Anyway, enough from me, but thought I would pop in and say Howdy, hope some of you get to catch up with each other and put a face to that name on Chordie

Re: JUNE 2022 FSOTM – A DAY OF THE WEEK AND OR NUMBERS (18 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow Zurf your on a roll! Love it
So that first song you did the numbers song, I have to admit, I have never heard it before, so I will make sure to go have a listen to the original. But you did some awesome guitar work in there on that one, must have taken you a while to learn it? Very impressive guitar work.
The second and third songs, both songs I love and remember well.
The Second song suited you vocally and you played it well, had me singing along and tapping my feet. I could quite easily have danced along to that one. It is one I covered (or tried to cover) about 5 yrs ago for Chordie FSOTM but certainly didn't play it well like you do. https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/sunda … ming-down.
Finally your third song, laughs and giggles aside, you played it well, especially from memory if you haven't played it in a long time. With a bit more practice you would totally nail it. I love the sound of this one on guitar, there is something about the chord progression that is really appealing how it sounds. If I could even play it like you did, I would be very impressed with myself.

ctech, well written, performed really well musically as well. A touching song, of heartbreak and broken relationships and the hurt along with it.

Nice one Jets, your singing is always good to listen too. I wondered how you were going to perform this song as I could see it has lots of lyrics in it and you covered it well and made it work. Your guitar did you have it amped up?

That sounds awesome.
You have such a unique voice and just a bit of an accent ( at least to me) that enhance it greatly.
Beautifully done.Jim
Thanks so much Jim, appreciate the listen and comments When we were in Canada many years ago and lived there for a few months, all the Canadians kept saying I had a strong accent lol
