Jim this song is something special.     

Jim that is a beautiful tribute to your Mum. A lady who nurtured and inspired 10 children to grow up and bravely face and contribute to the world in good and meaningful ways. Here in New Zealand we talk about standing on the shoulders of those who have inspired us to improve the foundations they have made for us. Your beautiful mother lifting your spirits up into the sky through you to your children and with ten children there must be many descendants who have benefited through this legacy. I hope this song will be passed on through generations to come. A truly beautiful song.     

Good one Mojo.     

Hi Jan and Chordie,

Sunday here and after a busy morning out I came home and as it is the day of the week I usually meet up with Easybeat and a few others in the late afternoon between 4 and 6, I thought I better check out chordie. Me and EB always like to have a quick chat about chordie in the course of our Sunday afternoon meet ups. With a lot of things happening in my life at the moment  I haven’t looked into chordie at all for a while now. On the few times recently I have it has been like visiting a dead end street. Today when I clicked into chordie and  FSOTM I was pleasantly surprised. Chordie Street is no longer a dead end road but a street that leads into a musical highway. Good on all you champions of chordie for putting up your posts and musical contributions. Thank you Jan for coming back to chordie and connecting Chordie St to Jan Avenue which leads us to the global musical highway with your manaakitanga (caring attitude) and aroha (compassion). So rather than acknowledge each post I have just looked at now individually I hope you all on here  accept this as a thumbs up and thank you for all your contributions. Also thank you to those I connect with on here in other ways on the internet. He aha te mea nui o te ao, he tangata he tangata he tangata. The meaning of these words an old New Zealand  proverb roughly translates as What is the most important thing in the world, it is the people, the people, the people.
Thank you
Pete

Thank you Jim . I have never been a Gin or Bloody Mary drinker but I enjoy sometimes a Virgin Mary  basically a Bloody Mary without the gin, with a bit of pepper, Wostershire sauce  and drop of Tabasco sauce.  Gin has an interesting history in London I will attach a short video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lrZlEvQpIM     

Jeff your vocals are good on this song. With a band backing you and also backing vocals it would come out real good.     

Good questioning lyrics there Beamer.     

Eb no doubt with all the talent on chordie you could collaborate with someone and  turn this poem  into a song  by honing it ,  It could be a start to a good story also as there is a lot of mystery here with after being wounded by his own side why wasn't his wounds attended too by them. I guess this  poem is set in a historical setting.?

Trevor that is one powerful well written song . That was clever how you did the backing vocal also,     

This month song of the month is going  good with all these good entries
Jim your song writing as always of a high standard.
Jan your voice and ukulele hit the mark perfectly.
Richard was good to hear and see the three different versions of your song.
Uncle Joe enjoyed seeing and hearing you and your band it looks like a perfect venue to play the owner has come up with a good way of doing things.     

Cheers Jan. That is me playing piano on that one. If Maree had played on that the piano would have been far more better than what I can do. Maree has stopped playing the piano and I don't think she has played anything for about two years now.     

I hope it is ok to put another song up this month. Easy beat Brian asked me to put this song up I composed called The Man At The Bar.
