Phill those lyrics fit a situation I know of . A young man I know lost his wife recently leaving him with a young  family and your lyrics fit perfect.
Wishing you and your family good health.

EB that has got a good flow to it. I cant wait to hear you  do it  as a song it is made for the blues. The hermit in me has been loving this time at home living in a bubble but I don't want it to last forever. It also has been a good oportunity for me to look in on the good folks of chordie. I wonder what has happen to our other Kiwi representative Jandle I can't recall seen her on here when I look in?  Most probably I look in at the wrong times.

Hello everyone I hope you are keeping safe and well. A tui is a native bird here in New Zealand.  Here is a poem I wrote about the lockdown.
The Tui’s Lament
It’s morning, someone has wiped the stars off my windows.
No blackness and little lights flickering.
Now there is blue sky and clouds moving by.
As I head out into a deserted land a Tui yells at me.
Why arent people  heading to the  city I want this place for me.
No more noisy cars ,trucks and taxis singing with me.
In  the morning when I sing my song it’s only birds and me.
Even the neighbourhood cats have given up chasing me

Cheers Jim  New Zealand went Metric  back in 1976. I still think in feet in inches when it comes to peoples heights.  When I think of weights I think in pounds and stones. When I buy food I think in grams and kilos. I used a bit echo on the recording also the laptop mike made things sound a bit differant. I love the way you put that smile thing on there I havent figured out how to do that.
Wishing you and your family good health.
Stay healthy and safe everyone.

CG thank you that is good to see a kiwi  blues artist given exposure on your Friday blues.  He has a new album coming out soon.  He also is a guitar teacher. If anyone is interested in learning how to play the Delta Blues he has free tuition videos on youtube. I will attach one as there might be people who are at home who want to have a go due to being in lockdown at home.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_0t4yxzE48

Good one EB. For those who don't know all over New Zealand teddy bears and their soft toy mates are looking out of windows..The trend, which has become popular all around the world during the coronavius pandemic, is aimed at cheering up children as they get some fresh air in their neighbourhoods.

Cheers Phill  Maree and I are treating being home as been safe at home rather than stuck at home. Apart from missing having a few beers with locals and interesting talks while out its all good knowing it will pass. Maree is not a great fan of my musical attempts though she  loved the idea of me putting my love for her out there. The phone and internet have been a great asset. Maree likes differant TV to me so we watch differant things. Maree and I had our Flu vaccination  done yesterday it was like something out of  science fiction movie. Doctors and nurses other staff in protective gear. Markers to keep people going in and out  two meters apart. Going in and going out we had to sanitise our hands. My mother who is 99 is not enjoying been in lockdown in her village. No visitors allowed  apart from the cleaner who has to keep a two meter distance and also the delivery of  food and supplies  by village staff and security.           
Stay safe stay well.

Jim I love your last line a good addition to your song it gave me a good laugh.. I take it that a small  mandolin is a new  medical term for a body part.
Russell I guess that mandolin was made for  leprechauns to play on Saint Patricks Day.

Due to Covid 19 we are in a four week lockdown here in New Zealand. I dont mind been stuck at home in our bubble as I have my Maree. Easybeat sent me one of his songs on email before so I thought with all this time to spare I better have a go at writting a song also and this  is it here.. It has been a while between songs for me. Stay safe everyone.

Good one Mojo listening to your song it sounds like Beans and Rice are a big part of the diet where you are working.Good thing you got a bar to  have some fun and of course the  whisky on ice.     That bush meat sounds like it might be a bit of hard going and getting a flight home not easy.
