Great to see you back song writing and performing Peatle.  That was a nice laid back cruise-y song to listen too.     

That is such a great piece of writing Peatle.  It pretty much says how it is and how many of us ordinary folk think about war.  You say a lot in that poem and I really like what you have to say.  AWESOME!     

I love this song Jim.  I actually recorded it on Soundcloud years ago when you wrote it, it's still on there on soundcloud. I also video recorded it, my one and only video recording of myself performing any song, why?, because my mother had dementia and it reminds me of her when I sing it.   

Another song of yours that I recorded years ago and have still kept on Soundcloud was ~Theres Angles in the room~ because of my mother when she had dementia and if she had her memory would have loved that song because she believed in God and angels.

Love how you have put ~Creek don't run by my cabin no more~ together in this format, really good.  You must have added more and changed a few of the lyrics as slightly different to when I recorded it, but love it, awesome.     

Good choices as well Lisa, will add those suggestions as well.  I love Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, the Andrew Sisters totally awesome in this one.  And by the looks of it, your one and same person or 2 people in the same household with Mike/Lisa having the same IP address

Great to see you enter a song for FSOTM mojo and welcome back, we haven't seen you here in a while.  Great song,  nice performance by you once again.  I am going to show my ignorance now and ask is that one you wrote? or is it a cover?     

Captain Kennedy is a song I like Richard, one we used to do at Ukulele.  Our version, like your version of that song was done differently but good to see how everyone can take a song and make it their own in their own style.     

Jim, well said.  Valentines Day is the only celebration day my husband and I don't celebrate.  Not because we don't love each other but do people need to have only one day in a year to show their love for someone?  Surely if you love someone, its every day, through ups and downs, through thick and thin.  And for those young ones and in some cases older folk meeting a new love in their life, hopefully they will show love, affection etc everyday they are with that new love of their life.  Anyway, I will now go listen to your song      

Some suggestions ....
The Battle of New Orleans - Johny Horton
The Night they drove old Dixie Down - The Band
Love and War - Neil Young
Captain Kennedy - Neil Young
Where have all the flowers gone - marlene Dietrich     

Enjoyed listening to this one again Grah1.  The whistle was effective in it too.     

Well,  I guess what I have found is this.
I wish I had found ukulele and guitar in my younger years, even youth, rather than my later years, when my children had grown up and I found time to get interested in playing some kind of instrument.
I wish I had learnt harmonica and piano as well.
I wish I had found singing and recording when I was younger, rather again in my later years.
l wish I had found performing in a group (would love to have played in a band of some sort) when I was younger too.
Now I find, if I don't perform each week like I used to in our little weekly ukulele group, vocals and ukulele start to go downhill and it's hard to get back up.
