Songs on the chordie menu are collected by the program but are not hosted by chordie. If a song does not appear there it's because no one has entered it. The Spinners as a folk group probably recorded and performed traditional songs so you may look for a specific song title rather than songs by the artists.     

Very topical and unfortunately too true. The days of browsing and touching the real thing in a shop not to mention getting a true account from someone that knows a bit about it seem to be gone. One day (like the apprentice scheme) we'll need these skills and shops but they'll be gone!
Your poem isn't just a poem but a warning for the future...well done Mr. Orwell.     

Thanks Jim it was a pleasure working with Jeff and Pete. When you begin a project with just a blank piece of paper (figuratively speaking) it's quite daunting. Jeff gave me certain parameters and suggested pets! It reminded me of my childhood dog Barney and some of the things we got up to which I discussed with Jeff and he gave me some of his hopes when retirement comes. I don't think either of us thought any further than the completion of the song when Pete's talent for video came to mind. So! a joint effort on 3 continents. Thanks guys     

Hey Roger, that pic reminds me of that film clip of Jimmy Page playing skiffle back in the 50's.
It also brought back my memory of spending all my pocket money trying to win a Beatles plastic guitar in1963 at the Aberafon fun fair. I didn't of course. Come to think of it, it could have been Porth Cawl?     

Peatle...
I always pictured New Zealand as the land of milk and honey. Hobbits and people running round making Beatles documentaries!
This poem is frightening! The victim is a preditor while the killer maybe one of the victims?
A great piece of writing, you got into their heads. Bravo.     

it's great the way you support and give hope to this person. the words are  indicative of the kind person you are. will we hear the recorded version?     

I agree with Beamer a touching ballad     

Deep contemplation there master Beamer! The internet is good and bad, thrilling and exciting yet dangerous and decietful! Especially for kids. And grown ups too, how many times have they tried to scam you? Just check out how much spam we get here.
Your words fall together nicely. Well done.     

Sadly it's the same for the Welsh language. My father and both my grandmothers spoke Welsh to me and I went to Welsh schools. My kids couldn't be bothered to learn the language until my daughter got to age 21 and decided she would go to night school to learn to speak it. Subsequently sending her youngest daughter to a Welsh school and she's getting on fine at nearly 8 years.
My language  almost got wiped out by the English when Welsh was outlawed in schools and in public.In the 1960's there was a big revival as Welsh or more relevantly Celtic was understood to be the predominant language in Europe and Wales was the only country where it was used on a daily basis. The language even being older than Latin. Scotland and Ireland also have versions of the Celtic language, and is used hopefully enough to keep the language alive.
Rugby is the great unifier, all the violence is on the field (unlike football) and Wales and New Zealand and also Fiji are brothers of the oval ball.

Kia Ora

sorry for the sermon     

Must be a big problem you had to post it FIVE TIMES!     

I could be wrong and probably am, but to me that was a bit of Mississippi blues? Your singing and playing were excellent and give Maree a big pat on the back for writing a great song. Love the cuts and joins!
