zurf ........... as always, i enjoyed listening to you and in this case listening to ~Take it Easy~.  Good job and i liked the picking smile

Bill, you don`t have to play guitar, you can play any instrument including drums, so yep enter your name smile

Mekidsmom, UJB, MekidsDad and Scott, thanks for sharing, that was fun and i enjoyed listening to it smile

Grah1 ........... thanks for sharing .......... looks like you, Kev J and the band are having a good time ..... on what looks like a very windy night to begin with.  Good sound smile

easybeat ............. lol you hard case, wrong song smile  Anyway, I like what you have done to the one you did anyway, you covered it well, made it your own and the way your playing it suits your voice.... nice one ..... thumbs up from me.

Bill, lovely to see you back on Chordie , I always miss reading your commentary on here and you certainly are missed when your not on here smile
On a side note, I have never ever seen you write anything inappropriate since I have been a Chordie member smile   Hope to see much more of you on here Bill,  all the best to you and Dondra smile

Peatle .......... great attempt at this song smile  I think i am the same as unclejoesband comment, it would end up being a folk song if i attempted it, never having sung Punk in my life smile

Happy Birthday Zurf ................ hope you had a great day smile

unclejoesband ............. lol, nope you didn`t, it`s great you joined in and chose a song smile

Tigljk ............  glad you entered heaps of song suggestions , it makes it more interesting having lots of song choices.  Explanation of why it was chosen 'from the hat' instead of a 'vote' I  explained further up the top of this thread smile  Regardless of if it had been a vote or pulled out of the hat, either way, one of your songs still could have got chosen (Vote or Hat) which means your song would still have been picked smile

Baldguitardude, Zurf, easybeat, thanks for the feedback smile

Anyone else like to make suggestions, here is your chance smile

Baldguitardude and dino48 ........ in answer to you both regarding taking a vote this month.  Initially we were going to vote and also take into account any votes from the members .... however, it was decided since unclejoesband had entered a suggestion and mekidsdad had entered a suggestion (which is great smile  that it would be wiser to pick 2 songs out of the hat, that way it was fair on everyone smile 

Dont`t worry dino48, the rabbit is out dinning on parsley smile

Such lovely lyrics Jim .......... i agree this song could be interpreted many ways but after reading your perspective, it made me think of my own mum in a home with dementia now .....  and as already said "spending time with loved ones is very important", we need to make the most of it while we can  smile
