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.

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 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.



I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I hope my lyrics get through to you.



I have been writing songs and words since before time.

These words have been hidden in my mind.

I put them down on paper and I try and sing them to you.



I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I hope my lyrics get through to you.



I just hope one day they get through to you

I have been spending my time trying to play guitar.

Trying to sing my words in a way that sinks in.



I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I hope my lyrics get through to you.



I have been doing this for far too long.

I have been playing my guitar I haven’t been playing it strong.

I’ve written too many meaningless words that haven’t got through.



I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I hope my lyrics get through to you.



Maybe moonlight or a spotlight.

Will shine down on me.

On a darken or brighten stage.

Or in our living room as you turn the page.



I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I hope my lyrics get through to you.

I guess the opposite of Hotpants is Coldpants.? I saw a couple of young ladies wearing Bellbottom jeans the other day I wonder if they are about to come back into fashion. When I have been shown old photos of me long hair and bellbottom trousers I cringe. I now understand why my Grandparents thought I looked ridiculous.

Cheers Phill
I need to polish up that tune a bit more. Hopefully what I have made so far is a cruisy sound? Mrs Whisky  I think is nesting at the moment as she has been quiet. I suspect Mr and Mrs have bred.  Papa has been swooping around very quietly  keeping an eye on his territory. Junior lets out a song every now and then and Mini just swoops around quietly. Mum and Dad will no doubt kick those two out into the big wide world soon. Maybe I will have the Whisky's vocal services on something musical sometime ahead.

I have tried to load the lyrics and chords but for some technical reason its not letting it happen on here.

Party On The Bayou
I was honoured that Phill ask me to help write this song by contributing some lyrics. I love the Cajun sound on this one. It also tells a good story about booze and an angry Granny with her grandson following in his layabout no respect for woman, father's footsteps. Guns and alcohol and nightly moonshine and music session's down on the bayou. I'm not sure if the boy has survived this episode?
