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

That was awesome !

Jim

Thanks, we also did All along the watchtower, but my microphone was recorded too high which causes distortion on the vocals:

Another good performance and having the harmonica really makes it pop.  Agee though with you, the vocals quite distorted in this one.

EXCELLENT!!!  All round goodness, probably your best one yet in my opinion.  Great blues and you can't beat a harmonica alongside a good blues song.  Loved this one, cheers.

I like what you have done with the oil painting scenes in this Jim, suits the song.  You should have had a career in songwriting and visual art of some sort.     

That was pure Rock n Roll and I loved everything about it.  Fantastic lyrics Jim.

Nice one mojo, great piece of writing there.  A song many people can relate to in various ways, how things change.  On a side note, we have large pine forests here in NZ and nothing grows other than the trees, those trees kill everything else.  Are we going to hear you sing this one?     

Cool, keep them coming.  Anymore from anyone else?

Great to see your still out there performing and having fun Grah.  Great to hear you have some more gigs coming up as well.

Hi
I'm not sure if Bono and U2 are my cup of tea but I see Bono has put out a memoir "Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story" which is out this Tuesday. My family wants to buy me a copy so I suppose it should be a good read.

zaialara,  Hi, great to see you post here.  Sounds interesting, I always enjoy hearing about different musicians' life story, how they came to be where they are etc.  I will look out for it myself.  Cheers.     

Looking for SUGGESTIONS for SONGS that mention any kind of MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS in the lyrics, e.g., guitar, ukulele, piano, drum, fiddle, violin etc, you get the idea.   It can be a COVER or an ORIGINAL you have written. 

Enter your SUGGESTIONS in the comments below for us to perform next month in JUNE.

READY, SET, GO!!! 

This month of MAY is ANYTHING GOES month.  You can perform any SONG you want.  It may be a COVER or an ORIGINAL, you know what to do.

We only had one song suggested this month which was:
~Wild Thing by the Troggs~ 
A great song which I personally like, so a great suggestion there Richard.


READY, SET, GO !!!

Richard, I remember Gypsy Fair, I remember you doing it with Jai when he was little, you were playing the kazoo with him while he sang smile

Jan,
As usual your voice steals the show - love it !! Sounds so good - I could picture in my mind Pete Seeger finishing writing this and asking you to play and sing it so he could hear what it sounds like !
A terrific song by Pete - so meaningful.
Kudos and Cheers Jan !!
Jim

Thanks Jim for the lovely feedback on my cover of this song smile and yes, I agree that it is a wonderful song by Pete Seeger, very meaningful for sure.

Wow, that was just a brilliant piece of writing right there.  I think one I will read and re-read.  It says a lot!  The line "Two geniuses dance on the stage's light,
One weaves joy, the other, fright", that spoke volumes to me.  Good vs evil, optimist vs pessimistic, such a great piece of writing Peatle.

Nice one Brian !
Cool Playing, love the lyrics !
Cool cat too in the image - I'm guessing you drew that ! ( it's great !)

Keep them coming !

You and Pete should get together for a beer and celebrate  recent accomplishments, or just to say hi and have a pint or two !  ( Bring Jan too! )

Jim

Funnily enough Jim, I bumped into Brian accidently yesterday at the garden centre of all places lol.  So we are going to catch up for a coffee in the near future smile

Nice to see you performing and writing again Brian.  That is never a truer word, Ordinary People do count.  Agree with Peatle, a Folky sound to it.

Great song TIGLJK, lyrics were great as expected by you.  Love the AI vocals and backing, it really adds to your songs.  It must be great to write your songs and be able to hear them played how you would want them played, as you hear them in your mind when you write them.  Awesome stuff smile     

Richard, good to see the difference in both your versions of Captain Kennedy, it's a neat song to perform isn't it.

Looking for a Hero song, well done to you all.  It would have been fun getting the band back together for you all, going down memory lane.  Great you had another song writer in the band as well.

Jim, that song is awesome.  I know a few people who could do with hearing the message in that song and those words.   Loved it.
