Excellent article CG that is very true not only does music  lift the spirits it reduces stress and depression.     

I just recentky read Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall, by Spike Milligan which is a good read. Watching Tv shows that Maree likes are usually not what I enjoy so I tend to watch things on my laptop while she looks at her programes on Tv. Been in lockdown for the next four weeks while everything is closed here is going to be an interesting test for me.     

Sorry to hear of your loss Joe that was beautiful tribute to your father.  Down here at the bottom of the world carona virus has made its way here.  Because of our smaller population the numbers are not as high as other countries but growing. So travel and social gatherings have been hit plus all forms of industry like the rest if the world. To come to our country now you have to go into isolation for fourteen days on arrival. No one who isnt a citizen of our country have been now banned from entering our country as of the 20th March. I am retired so it has not been much of a change for me. Also the village where my 99 year old mother lives has stopped all group activities plus most visitors from outside. They have security and before going in if your allowed  entry you have  your hands santitised and your temperature taken and you have to fill out a questioneer and sign a declaration that all your answers are true. When I visited our local pub last time it was nearly empty when it is usually busy.  Here is a blues I found on the internet that I like by a young man. Stay well and stay safe everyone.

Phill and Jim that is real cool. People working together can overcome many obstacles, and make the world a better place. Your differant skill sets complemented each other on this one helping bring together a beautiful song.

Good to see your working on getting the  band together.     

Richard I am having a few problems figuring out youtube myself at the moment myself. I see all my videos I put up have had comments disabled by youtube. Not sure how to fix it. I just had another look at your video and my second comment comes up  with a note saying edited.
Cheers Pete     

Phill that is a powerful poem. Many of those thoughts in there I have had at one time or another in recent years. Your words put it together perfectly.     

Excellent guitar Richard and lady on vocals good. Across here in NZ on some days we got the smoke from the Ozzy fires drifting through our air. Your fire fighters and also those who came from other countries are heroes in my eyes. Pleased to hear you and your family came through it good.     

Good on you Beamer for knowing what you want out of a band and sticking to it.  I like fəˈnɛtɪk or is it phonetic spelling. No wonder I get confused words never look like what they sound is it sycology or psychology. In my short time playing in a rock band I found egos hard to deal with so I got out of it. I think with many groups they tend to revolve around the player with the biggest ego. Though I did enjoy doing a few Sunday afternoon gigs when I was in my twenties with a bunch of old guys who were in their sixties and seventies with me singing  some old jazz and blues standards badly.  Egos in music and big aguments have always been there. Take the famous Handel who wrote Handels  Messiah sung by choirs all around the world. A bizarre incident in 1704 might have seen Handel's composing career cut tragically short after a set-to with fellow composer Johann Mattheson. The two had a duel over who should conduct their orchestra., Mattheson almost killed Handel with his sword, which fortunately struck a button on Handel's chest rather than the chest itself.

Jim you catch the beauty of falling in love perfectly.     

Congratulations Phill that is a perfect  way to start Christmas day.
