Without the natural world and all the beautiful flora and fauna what will be left? We are destroying what makes this world! Your words resonate my friend.
I love the sound of the birds and bees and breeze through the leaves of the summer trees.
The scent of flowers, gardeners hours, spent lovingly caring for spring and summer display.
Birds chirping or flying to and fro.
Lazing in a summer meadow, stay, never go.
Good one Phill
Laying in the paddock listening to the mooing of the cows.
I wont go into the next paddock that’s where the sheep have eaten all the flowers.

Topic: Beatles Reality And Myth (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have always thought there was a lot of acrimony between the Beatles when they broke up. After checking out a video interview with Paul McCartney about the upcoming film about the Beatles by Peter Jackson I think I may have brought into a myth when in fact there was a lot of joy around the Beatles last recording project. Maybe some of the reported tension with John and Paul was really clever marketing??? Short video attached.

Clever Blues. I like a good storyline in a song and you have done that.. Maree and I, years back went down to Tijuana for a day from LA on a bus. We were given a map on the bus showing us the safe area to walk around and the area that weren't. Maree and I stuck to the suggested safe area another couple on the bus decided to ignore the advice got mugged they lost their money but got to keep their passports.

Re: charley watts (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Sad to hear of Charley passing, He use to have a big band called The Charley Watt Big Band that played all sorts of popular big band music Glen Miller and so on. When we lived in London they use to play at the Richmond Theatre a few times a year which Maree and I went to one of their concerts it was different and good. Sometimes we saw Charley being driven around Richmond in summer in one of his vintage cars with his big Afghan Hound sitting in the car enjoying the breeze while having the car hood down. RIP Charley.

Re: Money Don't Count For Nothing. (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you Bill , Brian and Jim for your comments If it was good enough for Pink Floyd and Abba to write about money it means there is plenty of room for Phill and I to add another song to the world on dosh. I actually only wrote a few of the lyrics and Phill did all the rest music vocals and so on. Phill is a genius when it comes to music and songwriting. I made the video and I hope it worked well with the song.

Topic: Money Don't Count For Nothing. (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Our crystal balls might all be different on how we see or perceive the future of the planet. People’s world view obviously shapes how they perceive the future of the planet and what is right. I think all good people want the rich and powerful to act with integrity and not push that nuclear bomb button. We all want our legacy after we gone to be a good environment for future generations once we have done our time. This is a song my friend Phill and I wrote looking at what could happen if we keep destroying our natural resources. One thing we all have in common money don’t count for nothing once we are gone or after everything has been destroyed. Sustainable fishing for instance not been maintain because of greed and corruption by some of the players in the world fishing industry. The dodgy ones with power and money mentality of take take take. Here is Phill’s excellent vocals and musical ability making this song happen.
