zurf ..... that was awesome!  Completely different again to how you normally play .... your skills on the guitar with sound effects/style another level .... hah well done

Thanks Peatle and Tigljk  for taking the time to listen to my attempt at one of Harry Chapin`s songs, I enjoyed performing it, I actually like Harry`s music

Well we are a clumsy lot aren`t we lol.  Sympathy to all the injured above

I can add myself to the list of injured as well.  I am presently into my 4th week of non weight bearing as I  have a broken leg which I broke whilst on our annual ski holiday at Cardrona in the South Island.   Damaged myself on the first day of skiing, which involved a snow mobile ride back to the first aid center on the mountain and a ride by helicopter to Dunedin Hospital.  Told my husband "don`t say I don`t take you anywhere" ... I mean come on, a helicopter ride and he had the best views anyone could want of the mountain ranges all the way to Dunedin ... Wish i could say the same.  Anyway, a bone-transplant and metal plate with 8/9 screws put in later, and stuck in the South Island for two weeks as the air lines wouldn`t fly me home until my leg brace was unlocked at two weeks.... I finally made it home a couple of weeks ago.  Another two weeks to go and hopefully I am allowed to start walking on it (hoping that is the case).  So for now, me and my broken tibial plateau are recuperating and resting up.

Fantastic to you both!  Fantastic songwriting Jim and fantastic performance by Phill.  Loved how you put it all together musically.

Awesome, looking forward to hearing this one

I perform at rest homes BGD with a group of ladies once a month.   We base our set list on songs that 60 - 90 year olds would know and can sing along with.  We mix them up and add to the set lists all the time.  So we presently have 12 different set lists and can mix and match depending on if we have performed there before or not.

When we go busking on the streets to raise money for children and schools to buy them ukulele`s at Christmas time each year,  we have other songs that we add in that we wouldn't perform at the rest homes as they might be to modern for that generation and they wouldn`t know them or they may be not suitable at the rest homes but great for busking.

Once we did a gig for a 50th birthday and sang lots of sing -along and very much dance songs and music.

We have another set list for Christmas time, which is always handy to have for the odd seasonal gig.

So the set lists are pretty much targeted to the audience we are performing for.

(Edited by Jandle to add in - in, sing - along)

Nodding in agreement 

Baldguitardude ............ comments left on sound cloud ..... fantastic cover, well done

beamer ................. that was very good.  Great job on your cover and you have put so much work into it!  You said your vocals were flat but actually, that just made it your own and suited your style.  The guitar work was awesome, must have taken you ages to learn that! Awesome job!  Hope we get to hear more from you

Well done Peatle, had a listen, good to hear your wife joining in with you on one of your songs.  Some really good lyrics in there and i like how your guitar plays along with this song

Such great stories and memories everyone  .................  really enjoyed reading them and couldn`t  help but smile at some of them ......... thanks for sharing

Whilst I have been to quite a few concerts of some amazing oversea`s artist, I never had the privilege of bumping into any.  The only 'tiny' claim to fame meeting was with a New Zealand singer/song writer Shona Laing.  We went to a winery in Gisborne and she was performing there.    Before she came on stage, i thought i would go find the bathroom and whilst i was outside the winery looking for the bathroom, i saw this cute black fluffy little dog, it had really curly hair and so i was calling it and trying to pat it.  This older woman who was outside having a cigarette and who obviously owned the dog was looking at me and said it was her dog, so  we talked briefly about dogs as I have a dog too.  Anyway, with that off i go to get my seat so i can watch the show and on comes Shona Laing and guess who i had been talking to    It was Shona but i hadnt recognised her as she had matured a bit by then and the funny thing was that gorgeous little black dog actually was down on the ground by the stage and from time it literally danced/pranced on all fours to the music Shona was singing making the crowd laugh.

Here is link to Shona through her years incase you dont know who she is.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHisJ8KyoME
