Hi Bill and Dondra, here is my attempt at Bill`s song.  Love the words to your song Bill, I know the ukulele doesn't do as much justice to it as a guitar but I am not the best guitar player at the best of times.  Sorry for the late attempt, have just been so busy myself lately.

Phill, a very moving song, you sing it so well (as you do with all your songs).  After visiting 2 big exhibitions here in Wellington NZ this weekend about the ANZACs, a timely song with the words and meaning.

arkady, had a listen, really good, quite haunting in a way.  Like the message in it too.

beestie, another good one, don't know how you keep writing so many songs, your head must be full of them, well done!

Phill, Great song, I like it, well written. Have you recorded it yet?

Hi pondscummer, I play the ukulele, I play amongst my collection sopranos, concert and banjolele, my next buy will be a tenor. Aiming in particular for a 6 string tenor, beautiful sound. With regards to baritone, although they are good, the tenor to me is nicer. I play in a large and small group situation quite often  with a person who has a baritone and it can be overpowering, particularly if the person playing it is right beside you or behind you. Also may be a bit harder if you have arthritis as it does have a wider fret board.  Having said that, I play with people who play guitars and they don't seem as over powering as the baritone to me ..... So not sure what it is about the baritone but it is particularly loud.

Yep we are hoping to get together when Mac is available next year and possibly perform together, we would love Easybeat to play guitar for us ( I have suggested this to him)

Peatle, wow you changed the whole song again, adding another whole dimension to it, awesome ................you guys are so awesome and what I am amazed at is the way one song or in this case one (poem) can be interrupted in so many different ways, styles.  Great stuff.  Bring on the ladies in here, what's your versions?

wow really good TIGLJK

Strummerboy Bill, haha you are awesome!   I love all your messages above ..... wow, you blew me away with all your comments! I cant thank you enough for ALL your wonderful feedback, comments, everything you have said regarding my song, really made my day all of it and couldn't stop grinning like a Cheshire cat at all your comments.  Could hardly fit my head out the door

  Anyway, glad it had an impact on you and by the sounds a couple of others here.  I kind of thought when I wrote it, that it would only impact woman, so it was with a great surprise and unexpected surprise that it could have such an effect on men as well, so I am very touched by your words that it does have an affect on guys too.  So as I said, thank you heaps

And to your comment earlier up there, I would be honored if anyone wanted to play this song, I would love to hear it on guitar and other people take on it.  So feel free and if you want to share it with us, great

And finally, to your last comment, nope you didn't scare me off with all the comments, I was just out all day yesterday and so didn't get onto Chordie to reply

keepitreal, thanks heaps, appreciate your feedback

Thanks rickyjack, looking forward to hearing your version of this song and thanks for comments   As I said, it seems the uke is not everyone`s cup of tea, but for me its easier than guitar and easier to carry around.  Having said that, there are some awesome ukulele players out there, my favourite being James Hill, check him out or Jake Shimabukuro.
