I like the phone idea sometimes I use the recorder on my phone to store ideas. I do nearly all my song recordings on the phone for soundcloud and youtube.

Jim I love the way you put that together. Good to see lyrics that think about those are going through a rough time at Christmas,     

I don't know about her nails or sharp claws. She is Japanese and every time he buys another guitar or musical gear she uses some very interesting Japanese words.

Jim that is a unique beautiful guitar love your use of differant woods. Looks like it would be fun to play.   That would be a perfect heirloom for the generations of your famiy to come. A real treasure .     

Good one EB . I am glad you are talking about this. As you know I got hIt by depression and anxiety years ago. It came on real quick at a time when my life was going good outwardly but on the inside I was falling apart. I went from being a confident person to a mess. I was in a very dark space but with help and time I am now in a good place, The brain is an organ that can play up like any other part of the body. Now I am in a good space. Way back in the past  I had to get help and  find ways to get my self back to being a normal functioning person it all took time. Now I know what can trigger my brain to go into a dark space I have good stategies to avoid that.. A big part of my recovery was having people to talk to and also finding out that depression and anxiety can hit anyone. The people I know who have been through this are quiet often people I wouldnt have suspected to have experienced this until they opened up and have shared their experience with me.

A magic peice of writing Phill you created with words striking images of the changes of seasons on the land in your part of the world. The bees and other animals plus the way plants and trees in mother nature change with differant seasons. While we have summer around Christmas and New Year in New Zealand people originally from your part of the world that live here experience a  bit of homesickness thinking about the images of snow back in their homeland. What would have been a nuisance snow and blocked roads when trying to travel becomes a romantic memory. Also in photos and paintings plus Christmas cards, snow looks beautiful. The importance of protecting nature is described in an old  Maori proverb ‘Te toto o te tangata, he kai; te oranga o te tangata, he whenua’ (while food provides the blood in our veins, our health is drawn from the land).

Copyright laws vary a bit from country to country. As long as your not doing it for commercial gain your safe in situations where it is just a small group gathering having a fun singalong. Where you can can get into trouble is when you start selling those songbooks or giving unauthorised copies away.     

Jim not only have you written a good song the recording of it is done with country polish an excellent listen.     

Cheers another good one CG I like the way Lisa plays that six string bass.
