Good one Phill I remember as a kid my dad with his sense of humour teaching me that the rein of Queen Victoria was different to the rain of Elizabeth. Was it My Fair Lady the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain?  Was it the song Limbo Rock that had Jack be nimble Jack be be quick?     

EB your in good form. your vocals and guitar excellent.     

Cheers Phill thank you for your feed back.  I was trying to get that late 60s psychedelic sound it was also me  being experimental with double tracking.  I had an idea in my head but I couldn't pull it of the way I wanted it to sound. I messed up in a many  parts of it. The up side of it was I have learnt a lot and hopefully it will help me to do something a bit better next time. If I did that one again I would do things different in various  parts of it. The video side is just me taking pictures and videos on my cheap  phone around the valley where I live. I like the idea of people making videos and taking pictures and making music  without expensive tech.

Jeff that is brilliant you paint a good picture with your song of a writer in a quiet home making mind  images with words that flow. For me to write a decent song can be very elusive for me.  I admire the way  you are able to do it naturally with a nice folky style that tells good stories.
My favourite time to write is when I am alone in the house my ears in the quiet hear the sounds around me which I don't normally hear.     It is then I develop the ideas that have come to me in the days and nights before. I seem to get ideas for poems and songs while out and about and then when I am in the shower or doing other things more words come to me or sometimes new ideas. I have had whole poems or songs come to me in the shower  but usually by the time get out of the shower I can't remember what it was.  I have written a couple things early in the morning I will be fast asleep an idea comes to me I quickly hop out of bed speedily write it down before the universe steals the thought from  me sending it into outer space and a place where I cant cant find it again. The right time to some how put it all together all  those bits and pieces of words floating around usually for  me  can be hard to find sometimes.  I need to be in my house with just me and my thoughts and the sound of life outside.

Cheers guys thank you for your feedback it is good to hear other people's outlook on things and also your stories about life.     

A local character that Easybeat and I know is known locally by people in our suburban valley as Feathers due to his  last name being Eagle.     

CG thank you for choosing a kiwi group. Sadly the Windy City Strugglers lead vocalist Rick Bryant  died last December. He sang with many groups and played Sax. Here he is singing with a choir he belonged to also.

Cheers Jim  it was my attempt at trying to write a simple positive lockdown song that didn't  have many lyrics. Maree keeps me on my toes we enjoy each others company even though we are very different in a lot of ways. Her taste in music is different to mine but apart from that we enjoy many other things together. Thank you for your feed back.
