Great song chord progression looks good and sounds good in my head.  In the lyrics where there is an , and  such as ... and he drove into the Sun. or and she drove into the Sun.the word and, to me could be changed  to some other word. Apart from that to me it is a great piece of song writing.  Possibly ... Then he realized that his day wasn’t done….as he drove into the Sun.

Photos  and video please.

Badeye Albert Collins and his band hit the spot perfectly.  I am now a big fan of the whole band after watching and listening to that link.

Zurf I would  love to share a campfire with you and also all of you above and many others on Chordie.
I love the way all you good people on chordie approach the craftsmanship of music. Many of you pushing on with determination to be 'master of the bricks and mortar that make good songs. You all have something very special and it is an honour to know all you good folk.. Back to the subject of dressing up for a concert the main thing to wear  is your self respect. One of my favourite songs about ways of dressing is the Man In Black  by Johnny Cash

Neo you have done alot in your time thanks for sharing.

Maybe if I was to do a gig given myu lack of talent, it would be a good safety precaution for me to wear a safety helmet and body armour to protect me from bad audience reactions

Sorry Jandle if we can't respect our family members on this thread  as a way of honouring you and those who like you who  have  put a good commitment  to  our older generation what can we do. You have upsept me deeply.I was only honouring the good deeds of folk on here. I am very passionate about supporting older people in our families and when people mention they have that going on on their with own families I will respond.  You can not marginalize old people just because they are old they are our history and from them we learn our futiure.
No song is worth more than our perants.

Deadeye you have got a good voice I would love to hear more songs that you have written. I  have got a mate who writes lots of songs and every now and then he writes a good one but sadly he never puts them out there for others to hear.  I think you might have some original gems waiting to be put out on soundcloud. Songwriters sometimes let their lack of confidence hold back good songs that could be of interests to others..

Welcome 6thelements. I don't know much about backing vocalist.  I know that Glenn Cambell and Leon  Russell as part of the  Wreaking Crew played on many a hit track.
I think James Taylor might have done a bit of backing vocals for Carol King on some of her songs.

Zurf that was  what I was trying to say more people should take time for their elderly instead of leaving it to agencies.   Jandal and Zurf I just wanted  to say I wish there were more people like you who look out for the elderly without some sort other agenda. Old people can end up been put where they shouldn't be and don't want to me.. I have seen elderly who have been ripped of because there was no family there to protect them.

Jandal and Zurf I just want to say I wish there were more people like you who look out for the elderly. My family spend alot of time with my mother who is 97 but I can tell you around the world there are many elderly who are forgotten by their families.
Elder abuse is a global problem.  International studies report that 3% - 10% of older people experience abuse or neglect each year.  It happens to men and women of every religious, cultural, ethnic and income group. However, much abuse goes unreported.  It has been estimated that only 16% of all abuse incidents come to the attention of service agencies which can assist the older person to live safely.

What’s happening in New Zealand?
Each year, Age Concern’s Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention (EANP) services receive more than 2000 referrals for older people who may be facing elder abuse or neglect.  That’s eight referrals every working day.  About three quarters of these situations are confirmed to involve elder abuse or neglect. 

Often the abuse experienced by an older person involves more than one type of abuse.  In cases seen by Age Concern’s Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention Services over the last three years:
75% involved psychological abuse
over 50% involved financial abuse
15-20% involved physical abuse
10-15 % involved neglect
10-15% involved self-neglect
Abuse is also identified by other agencies including health providers, the Police, lawyers, other community support organisations, and other non-Age Concern Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention services.

Age Concerns report that they are dealing with an increasing number of older people who have become the victims of scams.  Predators are deliberately targeting lonely older people who have assets, forming friendships with them through the internet or in person, then requesting money for various hypothetical emergencies.  In many cases, it is the family that contacts Age Concern for assistance.  But the older person is often prepared to incur their loss in exchange for the proffered friendship.
Almost half of abused older people are over the age of 80
One third of abused older people live alone
Three quarters of alleged abusers are family members; and we know this often continues even when the older person moves to residential care
Almost half of alleged abusers are adult children
Abusers are as likely to be female as male.
