Cheers guys for giving it a watch. The backing music on the video  was not a good choice of mine. The funniest answer for whose face so far has been Mick Jagger. MY wife didn't think it was a good idea me drawing Paul Macker  face on a woman's picture. Richard thank you for the music offer. Here is Seinfield talking about Paul.

A couple of weeks ago I watched a programme on television where they asked this young lady aged  around about twenty year old to name all the Beatles. She only new of John Lennon because of the fact he was shot dead and she had read about that at university. . It doesn't seem that long ago when most people in our part of the world could tell you who was in the Beatles. 
Watching that gave me the idea to put this video together on youtube using simple drawing with a black drawing pen

Tig you have a great way of writing songs and getting them to flow.

Neo you got a natural way of tackling any song it is nice to listen to.
Jandle your Christmas songs are choice bringing a  Kiwi experience of Christmas to the world. Very much an Ozzy style of Christmas also in some ways.

Knowledge is clearing the  fog and knowing that we can  sail our ship home   These  words  are passed down to me from my mother who heard them from  others in her past.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
Kev I have no idea who came up with this good thought. I am not sure where I first heard this thought on life.I think Doug has found it's origins. My older sister who is twelve years older than me went to school with Quakers and maybe I heard it from her. A friend of mine was brought up in the United States Amish but he left it when he became a man Imight have got the saying  from him.

Peatle .... I like your drawings!  You talked about the drawings on the wall and what they meant, what about the bottom one on the wall, you didn`t talk about that one?  Great to see you join in and a Merry Christmas to you too.

Thank you and Merry Christmas, Jandle the third picture at the bottom represents imagination it is a horse with wings, flying through outer space.

Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa
Don't die like a octopus, die like a hammerhead shark
Octopus are renown for their lack of resistance when being captured, however a hammerhead shark will fight bitterly to the end, to the point that when you fillet it fresh, its meat quivers. Commonly used to encourage someone not to give up, no matter how hard the struggle is.

Neo I enjoyed the article. I have always found Australia's Flora and Fauna to be fascinating.  The other thing that interested me was how Indigenous Australians lived with nature before  colonization by new settlers and introduced species.

Here is me trying a Irvine Berlin Christmas  tune with Robert Anonymous on Guitar and my not so good vocals.

A good  Christmas song you wrote EB. I also like the photo of the Pohutukawa tree in flower with your song.  For those who don't know what a  Pohutukawa trees is. The Pohutukawa tree with its crimson flower has become an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. It only flowers on or around Christmas and New Years.

Badeye great thread I check it out regularly. Here is a Kiwi  Country  Blues Group. they are good but I must say they need more  of a traditional blues  feel instead of their smooth flow.

Thank you Neo I like the idea of people drawing cartoons to tell every day stories. The thing is is with cartoons you don't have to be a great artist. It  also can be another way of doodling.
