Love, love it.  Your writing skills are amazing, and you should be picked up by some famous person to sing your songs.  The AI is making all your songs come to life which is exactly what you need as a song writer.  The AI lets us the listener hear how you the song writer want your songs to sound and be performed.

Cheers Richard, thanks for having a listen.  You picked a nice setting to perform Valarie and the sound was also good on it.

Grah, good music and interesting to watch the places where you and your band entertain I also like your choice of songs to cover.

Brian, Vulli who owns Muffin Break  in Jville would love what you have done with your song about Muffin's.

Jan,  look forward to hearing some more of your music when you get back into playing and singing it also good the way you support Chordie .

Thanks Peatle, your always very kind.  Feeling a bit rusty and out of touch with performing these days.  I haven't really played that much since the covid era crap when every thing shut down and groups didn't get together much anymore etc.  I dont tend to play as much as I used too, probably not motivated on my own as much.   I probably should join some groups again to get myself motivated.

Richard, that was very different cover of Valerie, liked your take on it.  Gorgeous backdrop you're playing in as well.  I have played this song a few times myself on the ukulele a long time ago, I never quite mastered it but if I can I will try to cover it again (however rusty I am with performing these days).

I don't play my guitar much nowadays but in the spirit of helping to keep this platform going I dusted of my guitar and recorded this simple song I wrote in the hope it will encourage others to have a go.

Peatle, good message in that song, "you can rise" along with the other lyrics in there.  Great to see you back entering a song for us, an original and by you, awesome. 

On a side note....  We (hubby and me) were watching something on You Tube the other night and your video came up on the side as it does with videos we have watched.  My hubby says to me, "hey I saw those signs the other day when I was in the city".  I laughed and told him, that you written and performed this song and would have photographed those signs when you were in the city because you do that and sometime that you interview different people in the streets of Wellington City and you must have used them for your song.

Absolutely loved this song, powerful message and totally resonated with me Tiglk.  Your best yet!  I tried to download it as I would like it on my phone to listen to offline but not sure how to do that from soundcloud, didnt seem to be an option.  AWESOME!!!

Wow amazing video to watch Peatle, I love true stories like that.  All it took was one person to come up with an idea, make it happen and it helped so many young people find a purpose, find enjoyment, find talents they never knew they had.  Wonderful.
Great piece of writing by you Peatle as well smile

Bill, I can`t even imagine you being arrogant and you wouldn't be the only one on planet earth who have somehow thought they were immortal, especially when it comes to health or life stuff.  I am glad you have survived from having a heart attack and are here to tell us about it.  I for one and I know the other people on here miss your regular presence in Chordie with your conversation and presence.  I hope you continue to visit here with us all and you are missed very much by us here on Chordie.

Great to see you entering a song this month Brian.   A nice gentle tune you put together with that one, which was pleasant to listen too.   Muffin break will love you for the free advertising smile
