Jim that was great you underrate yourself excellent.

That came out good EB should be proud of it. It gets to the heart of how life feels for people going through hard times or depression. Though I do think that people at a low also need that voice that says you will come through this. You have a way of making that fictional character's  anxiety feel real.     

Cheers Zurf great photos and interesting read. There is a lot of Rainbow trout and Brown Trout  in rivers around New Zealand. We don't have bears or snakes of animals like Pumas or Cougars. Also we dont have crocodiles or anything like that. The biggest danger and killer here  is people drowning or getting lost in the  bush or dyeing of Hypoferremia. We have Deer and wild pigs they will get out of your way as long as they don't feel trapped. Only people who I have heard of been killed or hurt by animals here are those killed by farm livestock or dog attack. The sea around NZ  has sharks but we dont get many shark attacks on humans.
TF sounds like Nova Scotia has a lot of Apple Blossoms must be a beautiful sight.. Here is a link to the late  Slim Dusty a man who sang in a similar country style to  Wilf Carter singing about a country hall in Australia.

Your guitar and voice come together good on this song.     

Love you Bill and Dondra thank you for popping in and keeping us updated, Great video it was a popular  rock and roll tune down in New Zealand in my early years.     

Richard good one takes me back to the days of coffee bars and good folk music played with a guitar a microphone and a good voice by a person with a good talent such as yourself.     

Phill cheers sosban fach  up until now reading it means little saucepan I never knew that. I used to work with a lady from Wales who told me it was a battle song. But now looking up the lyrics in English it is completely differant to what I thought the lyrics would be. I know she said to me the Welsh songs she learnt as a kid was all the Welsh language she heard in their part of Wales as English was what was spoken in her area. It sounds like a song you could make up some good lyrics to.

Dirty Ed  the songs you mentioned are exactly what I was looking for thank you.That is a good list of songs.  Just as I am writing this I can hear Walking In Memphis in  my head for some reason. I just checked out this one you mentioned Galway to Graceland it is a  newone  for me and I enjoyed listening to it. I will attach a link.

EB  good one, so people will know what the song you mentioned is I will put a link here. Our Wellington  harbour leads out into the Cook Strait which is known locally and internationally as one of the most rugged stretches of water in the world. Travelling by sea to the South Island from here on a good day is good but on a blustry windy day can be a bit of an adventure. The cover  of the album you talk about must have captured a rough day well.

Jim you just got this natural flair for making good songs with lyrics that flow. Thank you for sharing with us.     

Cheers Beamer you are right re acquainting with old  pals quiet often ends up with the  realisation that the common bonds of the past are no longer there because they and you have moved on.I think what happens is at differant stages of life we go through differant seasons. Some music I loved as a teenager I can’t listen to now. Our outlook changes.I guess as humans we have differant attitudes and mental outlook  phases at differant stages like stages in nature a   butterfly egg to larva which is a caterpillar, from caterpillar to a chrysalis where it then grows into a butterfly.
Just like adults in the wild when we grow out of the cub stage and become interested in the mating game, hunters and protectors our world view changes.
Adult lions have differant relationships to Cub Lions. Back in 1993 a school I went to had its centennary celebration with a big school reunion. It was held  over three days. Those of us from my era had a great time catching up, but by the end of day three we all were ready to go back to our individual adult worlds knowing that we wouldn’t bother staying in touch with each other.

Neo I don't know what Neil is playing.  I just asked my friend who has more knowledge then I will ever have and he tells me you are right it is the guitar you have asked about. Neals guitar is not a stock standard it is made for him as he has a deal with them to promote their guitars,
