The homeles man said," no way sir I dont drink."
Brother inlaw then tells him "In that case you will spend it on gambling".

Ditto to Bills comments.

Dino was one of those people who could turn winters into a warmer time. I hope his family and those close to him get to experience some of what Dino meant to his Chordie friends.

A guitar called Dino an excellent dedication dedication.

Chris and Willie and now Mojo three musician singers who I love listening to. My late father inlaw who couldn't speak good english use to tell me he loved Woolly Nelson music. His favourite song On The Road Again.

Hi Phill
I think the stripped down arrangement works perfect.

Hi Phill
Not only do us Kiwis who follow Rugby Union love the Welsh because we play the same game. We love the way your suporters.sing. Cardiff Arms Park is a place of pilgrimage for many a Kiwi. Your Town  LLanelli is also known by many  here through Rugby. Back in the early 70s our All Blacks were given a great lesson on how to play rugby in your town.  It is now a privilege for me and Easybeat  to  have someone like you teach us how to write and put together  a  great song. Both songs you put up are  very good but full credit must be given to you and Easybeat. Welsh entertainers like Harry Secombe, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Phill Williams have provided me with great entertainment over the years . Thank you Phill.
Quiet often on a Sunday around about  5pm I stop for a quick beer with my friends at our local there I will raise my pint and wish you my friend good health and say those Welsh words La ch yd da..

One of my favourites takes me back to going to his concerts and digging every minute of it.

Bill not having you here in Chordieland is a big loss, we are poorer for not having you here. I guess someone's opinion has upset you. I like  the Marcus Aurelius saying. "Everything we hear is opinion not fact. Everything we see is a perspective not the truth."
Come back to your chordie family we need you here.
I am one of your many fans and friend's from around the world.

Our local organisation for copywrite is APRA (Australasian Preforming Right Association) which covers Australia and NZ.  I think a big frustration for muscians world wide is the way the big music companies and those with the cash can trade and make a killing financially on the songwriters work. It sounds like the BMI has stiffled the up and coming who arent going to make a big dent in the earning power of those with plenty of cash  anyway. I know amatuer Musical theatre here always find it a big hurdle to find  the money needed to secure the right's to put on shows. Richard OBrien a kiwi who wrote  Rocky Horror Picture Show felt it was outrages the fees charged for people to cover his work who weren't going to make a personal fortune out of it. He felt that copywrite organisations  had to much say on how or who could benifit from his work.
