Great lyrics and your guitar works a treat  EB. This song is a classic I encourage people to give it a listen worth a go.     It would be good to see lyrics written up.

For me playing guitar has been hard to do as I am not a natural. I have never really ever got that good at it. I use to get very frustrated trying to play scales and so on. Now I have limited movement in my arms and fingers when I do have a play if I get something out that has a basic nice  sound I am happy. I most probably only play a few minutes a week now as I get a bit pain when I try and play even though I have pain killers in my  system. . My Maree has never liked my guitar or piano playing. Even though I am retired I have plenty of other things going on. Music is only a small part of my life nowdays.  I will attach a song  for  you Bill.  I wrote it four years ago with my friend Darcy playing guitar for me about the frustrations, for me of  trying to play guitar. Funny thing about Darcy he is  a really good guitar player but he will only plays bass proffesionally  in the many bands he has been in.
Good to see you posting .
Love to you and Dondra.
Your friend Pete

Excellent cover works well with your voice.     

Great use of Naval terms and I look forward hearing it done as a song.  Hope things look up for you soon ,  Many times I have sat around with old boys like me who have been through heart breaking  break ups and they have all eventually  have found a way to move on.

Phill I love your phrasing when you sing this top  song. Playing and vocals are excellent. You have written a song which millions of men could say this is something of me growing up.

Cheers Jandle I am pleased my video wasn't boring. Thank you for taking time  to watch it and also make a comment. With Christmas coming up easybeat might be able to write us a gender neutral Christmas  person song.  I am sure EB will use proper gender neutral words  so we can normalize the idea that anyone can perform a  job, requiring a license to deliver childrens Christmas presents  with Reindeer  regardless of their gender identity.

Jandle that is very sad  sometimes when we hear peoples bad news. Even though the jenny's in our lifes are acquaintances through shopping or whatever when they tell us their bad news we feel it like we would with someone who we know better. You wrote that real good and here I am reading your words thinking Lord not another one also. It is a good reminder to enjoy every day and take a moment for those people who serve us in shops or whatever and value them because when you hear they are not going to be there no more it is an emotional thing.     

Cheers Phill I enjoy reading  your comments. I agree with you for the many an every day person who has forced their  way out from being part of the working poor, there are those who would  like to put us back in our box if they could get away with it.
Our forefathers who faught and died for the rights and liberties we now enjoy,I think would be amused by the wave of modern political correctness,
I worked in print for 45 years on and of.  At the end of my career I noticed that political correctness crusaders were banning all sorts of words from the many University publication we use to print. I also noticed the government no longer mentioned job losses it became job restructuring. Academics were getting local  councils not to  use words like manhole covers and God forbid mentioning the poor they were now the economically marginalised. Oops I mentioned God. Yet entertainers, broadcasters and academics have become very comfortable using F*** bombs which to me lowers the standed of expression rather than raising it. I use to have an office lady who refused to call Maree my wife insisting on calling her my partner. The control of language to me  is a way of establishing a  totalitarian society.

Welcome to Chordie Fester.     

Cheers and thank you Phill, I am glad my video entertained.  My answer to your North Korea question is I am grateful I don’t live in North Korea, Kim Jong-un  and his family have made that place a living hell. Fortunately countries like yours and mine have freedom of speech.  When I think about that Saudi Arabian,  Jamal Khashoggi who was killed inside his countries consulate in Istanbul it makes me realise just to be a journalist  in some parts of the world is a dangerous occupation.  Many times  I think  about the many other countries where  expressing your opinions can cause death or punishment for you and your family members. Even though the United Nations has a  Universal Declaration of Human Rights it means nothing in many countries around the world.     

Thank you  Richard .for your kind comment and taking time to have a listen and watch of my video.
Cheers
Pete
