A powerful piece of song writing DE and nothing wrong with your recording sounded good to me.     

Good One Jets. When I have had days like that and get that I want to quit thought I hear in my head the voice of my father and grandpa who died many years ago saying you will get through this..

Cheers Phill I wrote the song for Maree’s birthday in a style she likes. For some strange reason my thoughts while writing this reply have segued over to thinking about the PG Tips tea commercial years ago with the chimpanzees carrying a piano down some stairs. It used to give me a chuckle the banter between the son and father.

Son yells to his dad “”Dad do you know the pianos on my foot”? His Dad replies, ”No son but you hum it and ill play it”

I have just said those two last lines out loud as Maree walked past me. She is now looking at me in a way that makes me think she now knows I have gone completely bonkers in my old age.     

Cheers Jim in the old days playing the keys down here was called tickling the Ivories. Now days I hear the kids talk about bashing the keys when playing the keyboard. The old pianos here were also known as Joanna's. Which came from the Cockney rhyming slang  for piano. Old Joanna. or  some would say Aunt Joanna. .

Phill those lyrics hit the mark our Kiwi kids down here in NZ would love them in a song.  I look  forward to hearing you playing  it .

Mojo love the way you can tell a good story in a song. I can imagine that picture through your  cleverly written and performed song.     

Ctech Interesting  subtle choral backing sound on this one.

Jeff many a muso I have known over the years could relate with what you have written.

Ctech I love German Shepherds my mother last dog was one. It was a very faithful  pet to her when he died he was mourned more so than many humans in our family. I mention to a young  couple who live close by to me that their German Shepherd reminded me of Rin Tin Tin' forgetting that many people today don't know who Rin Tin Tin is. All  I got in reply was a weird roll of the eyes and the comment, " who the hell is Rin Tin Tin?"    I guess if I was to mention to my younger relatives  who keep horses about Mr Ed the horse or Lassie the dog I would get the same reaction. Though these relatives did know about Arnold Ziffel when they use to have a pet  kunekune pig most probably due to us oldies talking about Green Acres.

Jeff and Phill vocals worked perfectly on this song. The story behind the song and the lyrics brought back happy childhood memories of my own. The musical arrangement was bang on a brilliant collaboration.  As a duo Phill and Jeff have got something very special with this song.  This song is one of the best songs I have heard on chordie.
