ah

that explains the appearance of some that have not been around lately. 

I really hate these spammers.
They pulled one over on me - I guess I should look closer at dates.
Thanks Phill

Peatle

right above where you are typing the message on the right  ( out side the box) it says  you may use   BBCode    Images   Smilies    click on Smilies  and it shows you what to type to get the desired little face.   a smile is just   :  )         but don't leave a space between them - I did just to show you.
Cheers my friend - stay healthy.

Jim     

Graham  - MEEEEOOOOWWWW !! That is first rate tongue in cheek comedy put craftily into a great song !  Some very clever lyrics and a superb melody.  Well played my friend! Thanks for sharing this and making the week start off on a purrrrrrrrfect manner !  I love it.   Jim

p.s.  when I was 9 I put our family cat in the washer -  luckily my mom caught it before it started. She was not amused with me at at all and I got a little more than a sock in the puss.

Nice one Peatle - appropriate song for today's trials and tribulations !   Stay healthy and safe.
was there a special echo effect ?  sounded pretty cool.

I did chuckle bc you used meters instead of feet like we do here in US. smile

Graham   That is a fabulous song.   I love the solo riff you play as well as the rocking lyrics! Your friend was lucky to have  a friend like you to write such a superb tribute for " Sweet Jane".  You certainly are a talented musician !

Keep them coming my friend - I am looking forward to these each day as I also do on Fridays with CG's Blues songs!

Thanks so much for doing this.

Here's a new verse for the Pawnee Creek song  smile

I had a woman long ago up on Pawnee Creek
she loved to touch and admire my physique
well her fingers were sexy,  long and very thin
but she left me when she saw  my tiny mandolin


smile   Have a good one !

Graham - great song on a sensitive subject !

That is cool clapping for NHS -   yesterday our high school band teacher and his family went to some members of the band's house's - met them outside - and played the U.S. National anthem for our small town to hear.   They played a little under a dozen places around town. . I videotaped them outside of my house. It was very cool and inspiring.
Hoping you all are safe and healthy.

Mojo

I am always a huge fan of your musical abilities and song writing.
would it be too much of a hassle for you to post the lyrics ?
I am so glad you have your music ability with you in Africa !
Have you ever thought of doing a song including some African beat - a la Paul Simon on his  Graceland album.

Brian

Solid advice !!

These certainly are the times that try our souls as Thomas Paine wrote back in 1776.

I am thankful that we have the ability to share concerns here on chordie and get some relief in a variety of ways.

I too try to always respond to posts here on chordie. 

Keep positive, and stay healthy. Hopefully we can all write a song in few months about all of this and say  " phew - we made it through that "

best wishes Brian and all my chordie pals and gals.
