I am so sorry to hear the news about Dondra, Bills beloved wife and partner.  I have fond memories of how Bill always said lovely things about his Dondra.  My thoughts go out to Bill.  I miss seeing Strummer Boy Bill on here, he always had great things to say, he was a great conversationalist on here and genuinely enjoyed chatting with all that came on here.  I received a few emails and Christmas cards from Bill over the time I knew him on here and always enjoyed hearing from him.   Much love and thoughts to you Bill and your family xx     

easybeat, well done on your original song.  Maybe a little repetitive on the line 'The Rain" on this one when I listened to it but just my opinion.  Guitar work awesome as always.

neophytte, nicely performed on this cover.  Interesting the effect to your vocals on this one, what program were you using on the vocals?

Phill, I didn't get any report and can`t see anything about it in the moderator's section either.  Was it an email?  And agree, I can`t see anything here that needs reporting on.

Peatle, good to hear that this guy and the people he works with, are still doing their art and trade mostly by their human hand and brain.     

Peatle, clever piece of writing there and a good message in it, well done

easybeat, thanks for the feedback, I had fun trying to write this and thankfully it just flowed      

OK I couldn't write a song that worked for the word CUSTODY, so I ended up writing a poem (or something) that has deliberately lots of rhyming (because I know how much some of you love poems that rhyme NOT) lol.  Anyway, as I started writing this poem, it kind of took a twist ......

CUSTODY  written by Jandle (Jan)

Minding my own business, running his company
When suddenly the phone rang, there`s been a tragedy
With shock and tears, I listened reluctantly
To the awful news of how, he had died suddenly
It wasn`t an accident, so I was informed
He had been killed, cruelly and cold-bloodedly

No weapon had been found at the scene unfortunately
But from the looks of the crime scene, a knife had been used quite meticulously
Investigations were ongoing, they were looking for somebody
I hung up the phone and sat there uncomfortably
Thoughts and emotions flowing abundantly

You see, he was the owner of this large drug company
Sadly, he had no remedy for his own murder, unluckily
He had told us he was planning to use new technology
Many of us would be faced with redundancy
Cops interviewed all those that worked at the company
Asking questions, looking at them mistrustfully

And after years of investigation and no suspect to be found
The case finally closed; no criminal had been bound
In the years that followed and in the reading of his Will
A letter had been left for me, from him by all accounts
I opened the envelope, carefully, slicing it with my knife
Turns out he had left CUSTODY of the drug company to me

Yeah, interesting dilemma.  I am not sure about the whole AI thing at all personally but there seems to be pro`s and con`s.  I think people will lose the satisfaction of it being 100% their own creation but on the other hand, those people who want to create and can`t, it will be their dream come true.  AI is being used in so many different ways now, not just music.  I guess time will tell but I hope people retain their own creativity and not totally rely on AI.     

boy
broke
closer
tea     

Nice one easybeat, comments left on soundcloud.   Nice easy foot tapping beat to this one, very pleasant listening.  And as I said on Soundcloud, I miss receiving and writing those old-fashioned letters, prefer to emails any day.     

Come on, any more entries for this month?  I can`t join in this month as I have put my back out in the last few days, so no strumming for me presently.
