Two brilliant quotes in this thread: know when to say when, and Zurf's why should I care what you think!

I've learned a lot. Thanks

I remember looking for the link but couldn't find it. I found it now of course and I'm shocked at how it describes some people I know or once knew. I hope I'm not a narcissist, but I think I have some of the tendencies...as I said I know people that fall completely into that category.
Thanks for the eye-opener.

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.

I just wanted you to know that I read every word of your post, I admit I didn't understand some of it but I did identify myself in the greater part. there is a quote; "never say never", which is what I fall back on when someone does the dirty on me, eg, I'll never use that airline again, I'll never drink at that pub again, well thing is you, me all of us may need to fly with them or be desperate for a large beer or just need someone to talk to, to unload so to speak. That's why we're here.

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.

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!

Hi Beamer. I like your words so I looked for it via the link but SoundCloud say they can't find the song. I dare say you'll put it up again?

Brian, you and Pete are rubbing it in with your spring songs! We've had a garbage spring and summer what with the lock down, the weather's been all over the place, having to stay home and isolate due to you know what and the apparent second spike. But at least your song offers a little sunshine and hope and as you know hope springs eternal.
BTW, I heard at least two chords. Nice work.

profound Jeff. I suppose we all have similar thoughts but getting them down in an intelligible order is the trick.

Fine writing.

Jim, I just looked through your words again and I have a question; when you refer to "feathers" is that a salute to Forest Gump? if so it doesn't make you a tealeaf LOL

yes another fine observation. Ann and i went through a stage of going to clairvoyants mainly for entertainment value. it's funny because you're told this stuff and then try to fit it into things that have happened or are happening, like buying a pair of slippers 2 sizes to big hoping you'll grow into them?

well done Pete
