Gidday Bushy
I`m a huge fan of John Williamson.
You get a real feel of Australia listening to his songs.
Wish we had someone in NZ doing similar.

Re: What is Talent? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Great question,i haven`t a clue what talent is or how it comes about.( i wouldn`t mind some)
one thing i do know is the big artists aren`t always the best artists.
they do something that appeals to a awful lot of people.
They are just the ones that thru luck or persistance/hard work, opportunity have
made it.
I heard Michael Buble` say there`s plenty of better singers than he,but he`s had the breaks.
and considers himself very grateful.
Just need to go online to see brilliant music/artists that goes virtually unnoticed.

Topic: Your Opinion? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Gidday all.
lately i`ve been thinking,There is a lot of music that doesn`t get played anymore.
Almost a moral crusade,my question is!
A. Should we stop playing music because the artist is a poedafile now? Eg Gary Glitter
If your answer is yes
B. How about a murderer? eg Phil Spector.
If yes
C. How about a wife beater?
D. how about a pick pocket?
It`s a funny old world of mixed morals,we celebrate drug addled rock stars.Bad language/Rap
D. Or do we just let music speak for itself?
Come on Chordians get thinking about this one.Love to hear your answers.

Re: APRIL 2017 FSOTM - THE WEIGHT - JACK AND DIANE (52 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Thanks for the listens & comments on soundcloud.
I`m not like you clever people who can play it like the original.
So i just close my eyes & see what happens,it often comes as a surprise to me
to hear what i`ve done when i play it back.somehow i changed the chords as well, go figure!
but having a ball,i guess that is the main thing.
i`ve been getting a bit of flack about my stuff lately,but hey, no problem.At least they took the time to listen,
all you can ask for is an honesty opinion.
So thinking of changing my name to `Audio Assault` what ya think?

Re: SUGGESTIONS: MAY 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH (29 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Sorry Jandle.i didn`t want to spook the horses.hence To Love Somebody.
How about` Nights On Broadway` it`s not a favourite of mine at all.
I`ve chosen this as i think it will be a different challenge,to the usual stuff.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: MAY 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH (29 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Gidday Jandle
many of the songs suggested are of a similar type.
so i`m thinking lets rattle the cage & do a Bee Gees disco song.
Now calm down, maybe settle for one of the great songs ever.
`To Love Somebody`

Re: Epiphany (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
`Another Day` by Paul McCartney proves that ordinary stuff makes great songs.
Penny Lane is another,a classic example of ordinary lives.
Of course there`s heaps more,but these two songs came to mind first.
Has anyone else got examples of songs about ordinary stuff?

good to see everyone hears it differently.i guess thats what music is all about.
i`m keen on a little bit of tamborine backing the guitar on the stripped down part.
you`ve done an excellent job on this track.
