Peatle, I listened to this one again tonight and I could just visualize a child saying that to their  Father about the cat going out killing its prey.  Well done, love how you come up with these original ideas for songs.

Wow, she has amazing vocals TIGLJK and her guitar playing was perfect for this song.  I actually hadn't heard of her before or this song, so thanks for sharing.  I will check out some more of her music as I liked this one.  Thank you for thinking of me for this song but I think this lady's talent is WAY, WAY above me in every way.

I was never keen on the Bee Gees music either, though a few of my friends did and it became a thing between us all at parties, they would deliberately put on the Bee Gees music lol.

Pealte, I always loved Lulu when she sang "To Sir with Love".     

That was really good neophytte.  The song bounced along well, foot tapper.  You sang and performed it nicely.  Great to see the collaboration between you and Peatle as well, that was a bonus for us to see.  Well done to you both smile     

haha sounds hilarious  big_smile

Great song there Peatle, thoroughly enjoyed it.  Totally made sense to me too.  New to me too, hadn't heard it before.

A good song from your back catalogue Jan thank you for sharing.

Thanks Peatle for your comments.  Yeah, I added it as I totally forgot I had even covered it before on Soundcloud and Chordie.  I will have to watch that in future that I am not doubling up.     

Thanks, Richard, for listening and your comments.  And your right, the topic does remain open, it never closes.  However I have found, most people don't go back and listen to any new entries if it is not that months FSOTM.   

Wow 10 weeks on one song, (Where have all the flowers gone) yikes!  I am guessing the "shudder" is because you're not fond of the song after spending that length of time on it?

Thanks, re comments on "The Rose".  This is a song I would like to spend a bit of time on and maybe I will get back to it at some stage.  I think I could do better with a bit of practice.  It`s the song I mentioned I hadn't really played before.

Re: Apple Jack.  I have done this a few times years.  I definitely felt rusty on this one, particularly the speaking part, struggled to get all the words in with correct timing lol.  Also, my banjolele hasn't been used in I can`t remember when I last played it, so definitely need more practice on that.

Once again, some clever lyrics and song writing skills Jim.  A sad song but one that would touch the heart of anyone going through relationship difficulties.     

great, will close this now and sorry for the late start to the month for the new FSOTM.  I will set it up tomorrow.

Yes, a lovely song.  I loved her singing this in her youthful days, her voice was quite high in places then.  I found her in her later years singing it with friends, her vocals though much deeper, she still nailed it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxiluPSmAF8

I think it is to do with the weather, leaving winter to summer OR his life is suddenly brighter, happier from the cold winter to the sunny warmth of summer.  So product, hmmmm raincoat, togs, happy pills of some sort lol I haven't got a clue lol
