Interesting song Grah done in in a good protest style. I myself don't know what to make of Donald. I have many relation over in the USA and one thing is because of their varying outlook on him it has caused a big rift in my family. Some see him as a breath of fresh air some see him almost as a Mesiah others think he is the Devil. I now in my emails to family members avoid any mention of him as  I am scared of creating more division in the family.

Jim this an excellent well writen song with your singing and playing giving me a good listen. It made me think of a short sort of a  poem about a young sixteen year old and her mother who I wrote about back  in 2015.
Eight Weeks Out
It is hard to believe sitting here looking at you.
Your sweet smile and warm giggle so beautiful.
Sixteen beaming smile and only eight weeks out.
Eight weeks since you started to feel positive about yourself.
Eight weeks  since you stopped self harming.
Six months since your last suicide attempt the second time you tried.
Eight weeks where you have now accepted your mother as a friend who loves you.
The two of you happy laughing and buzzing with warmth.
Eight weeks out.
Eight weeks out you got me shouting  out loud  life is good.
Eight weeks out an old man like me  wants to share your song.
Eight weeks out you got a future.
Eight weeks out you want to help out.
Eight weeks out you are helping  other young people .
Eight weeks out you are saving lifes.

Jim that is a beautiful piece of writing. Back in the days when I counseled young peopl it use to break my heart the number of beautiful young ladies who fell for rat bags and couldn't see their own beauty and the wonderful gifts they had.

I dont do much playing now days but I do enjoy spending the last part of the day before I go to bed with my headphones on listening to music. I get rid of all distractions and by myself for sometimes up to an hour I will listen to music through my headset. When I go to bed I am ready to sleep.

Welcome Diana from me down here in New Zealand.  I read about one book a fortnight  sadly I am boring in that department as I tend to read mostly history books and peoples life stories.  I have dabbled a bit with creating songs while messing around with guitar and piano plus my bad vocals. So far I havent managed  put out  a song that has got anywhere but have had fun having a go The gender balance on here needs more female input as it mostly male. The knowledge of people on here is excellent.   I look forward to your posts and maybe you could recomend a good scifi movie to watch?   After posting this  I will look up and find out what Sci Fi movies are. I look forward to your posts.

TF  that is an excellent poem. Over here in New Zealand our news has become infotainment where the truth as they say doesnt get in the way of a good story.  Sensationalism without substance. Our  news media  seems to me to be governed by, and full of advertisers.politicians, with public relation marketers who seem to be up to something other than giving us good infomation. We have  now  got this world where good arguments are ignored by the media. You mention gotta boost ratings in your poem and world wide now it is  also about the advertising dollar.  If your show rates high the revenue generated by having advertisers place their product with you costing big dollars makes that media company even more profitable. There is alot of deception out there which can help to subvert, justice fairness,and democracy.and the building of benificial relationships between the people and government.

I notice here in NZ most kids who go to Montessori schools learn the violin not sure why that is but their school orchestra's are  excellent and put out a good sound. My attempts at violin didnt work out well I struggled with the bowing technique, I gave my violin to a friend who played classical guitar and in a short time he  was playing it to a good standard.
