Thank you everyone for your kind comments and  taking in my experiments with video making on my cellphone. I am lucky to live in a beautiful area  where we have the sea and nice natural places all around while still close to  all things like shops and other entertainment that a city can provide.

It had a nice ye olde Knights and Ladies  feel to it would be good music for a movie track.     

Good one badeye whenever I think about Three Dog Night  and the 70's another band that always comes into my mind as soon as I  reminisce with friends about that decade  is Chicago.

First time I have heard of them BGD excellent I enjoyed hearing them.     

Cheers thank you everyone for your comments. When I think of time and how it moves The Steve Miller Band song,"Fly Like An Eagle" opening two lines always jumps into my mind
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future.
Many a time when I was  younger working I would wish  it could just be Friday already,' or, 'Once I get through this week I'll feel better. When I was  a child   I use to say things to my nan like “ if only I was older” she would say, “you’ll get there before you know it”.  I use to think shame she is old and doesn’t know what she is saying This kind of thinking is something most of us had  when we were younger wanting or trying to move time faster when things weren’t going to plan. I am guessing  every generation at a young age want to believe that once we move time forward and  jump  the hurdles directly in front of us, the clock will start moving forward faster instead of taking an eternity to pass.  The song  I Don't Like Mondays"  a song by Irish group The Boomtown Rats is an extreme example of not wanting to go through one day Monday. Another song that comes to mind is  The Mamas  & Papas  "Monday, Monday". .I quess now I have retired everyday is a Friday.  I love that saying hard to put a old head on young shoulders. Another saying If I knew what I knew now I would have done things  differantly. I use to hate it when my mother  use to say,”time goes quicker every year I get older. ”  Now I say that myself. A friend of mine from a big family  was brought up on a farm.  He went to his brothers 70th birthday recently.  He told me while there,  talking around a table to all his brothers and sisters they all wished they could turn back the clock and be back in the good old days. The thing they all had in common when they were younger is they couldn’t wait to get older leave the farm and go to the city. Time changes us and how we remember or perceive things. When the Beatles   Sgt.Pepper's Album  came out I remember  listening to When Im 64 and thinking that is an old age and it will take forever to get there. Now Im Sixty Four it doesn’t seem that old.

Wow Jeff you did everything perfect on that song.     

Badeye I love that line in that song “ A lip to chew” is it  a saying used by folk in your part of the world?  I guess it means the same as  “Chewing the brezze”?    I have heard my sister who has lived over on the other coast of Canada  ( Vancouver} since1965 say ' Im spitting in the wind" when she thinks people are not listening to what she is saying.     

EB you are putting together some excellent songs now days.

Zurf thank you for introducing  me to Sara Bareilles music she is a treasure and on stage she makes the songs she cover come alive. She does Yellow Brick Road better than Elton.     

Boyband your a top guitarist thanks for sharing. I was wondering what country are you from?

Excellent thread TF.  The music I quiet often like to listen to is by muscians who tell stories in their songs. It never ceases to amaze me some of my favourite  artist here who work hard such as a guy called Derek Lind are more or less unknown here in New Zealand. When he performs he always gets a warm reaction from audiences. The mass media radio station and TV tend to bypass our own artists for popular trending overseas artists. As a result I dont listen to much radio I find it irritating. I have found youtube to be an excellent place to find good music. I find it a fun thing to do going in search of artists that are not well known on youtube finding excellent material by random searching.  I will attach a song here with Derek singing about his dad these are the sort of story telling songs that appeal to me.
