Thank you Piri for your vote of confidence.  I try to make my approach to music and lyrics original and not conventional . Tech and the interweb always get me confused people show me how to do things on the computer and next thing I know I have forgotten what they have shown me. I must find out what an interface and a DAW is. I brought a recording mike and a recording multi track studio download earlier this year when it proved to hard for me to use so I took it back as the guy in the shop said to me if it proves to hard they would refund me. 
Thank you again your a wonderful musical mentor.

Hi Bill I will send you this song I recorded on my cellphone for you.  I'm sorry about for the sound  quality not being the greatest. Maybe just as well with my bad guitar playing and singing. I wont ask you to sing it because I think it is not as good as the other ones written by the chordies above.

Piri, I know having heard your magic playing your pick would have done a good job. RIP your pick I bet it has made  your guitar sing perfectly. Maybe in time to come archaeologist will find your pick and wonder what it was and it's place in history.
My little plastic fantastic.
Danced with many a string.
Listen to by many a boy and girl while they were having a fling.
Now my beautiful pick.
Rest in peace beneath the soil.
Leaving me with many memories of its beautiful toil.

A friend of mine a very good guitarist and musician never smoked but in his music room he had an ashtray which held his much loved guitar picks. When he played gigs he never put his picks in with the guitar cases they were placed in his wallet with a bit in it designed specially to hold his picks. He was okay with other people playing his guitars but no one could touch his picks. I was told after he died his ashtray with the picks in it now sit on a table besides his wife bed as her way of keeping him close even though he is gone. His son told me that his mother guilty pleasure is when cleaning the ashtray when dusting and vacuuming is holding the picks in her hands. Apparently it wasn't until after he died that she got to touch those picks.     

Cheers Phill and Jim, Today, Friday we have a big storm here and with the rough sea they have had to put Toa into a pool until it passes. I will attach a video taken on Wednesday.

Phill and Jim that is brilliant how you can turn a subject into words that flow. I love seeing words play out on replies to different posts. Food is a big part  of all cultures when I have been travelling. Our different experiences with food I find it to be very interesting.

Culture, race, and ethnicity.

One person's normal may seem to another eccentricity.

In my travels I love the place food plays.

My nana always had love on a plate.

Different dishes made to make people feel great.

Hospitality and food a great way to show love not hate.

Phill those Bankers can be a bunch of other uckers.

Cheers Jim and Phill , Thank you for your feedback. With all these cyber attacks and reliance on computers and the internet for  all sorts of things I wonder how safe the net is. I have a friend who has worked in banking for years he tells me that the banks are getting rid of branches and people to save money. Their trying to get people to do everything on line so they don’t have to pay for business real estate space also have less staff. I recently had to get something sorted with the bank as our local branch has been closed. I was made to phone the call center which took me nearly an hour as I had to wait for my call to be taken.  I had to listen to awful music and a voice every so often saying your call is value and we will be with you soon. I had to phone to make an appointment to talk to someone at the bank in the city. It was only  a few  years back you could just walk into the bank and talk to someone. Many of my friends use to pay their bills at post offices which are slowly been closed down around the country. Many of my friends don’t have computers so they have to pay an extra fee because they get their statements through the mail. Today many outfits here charge an extra fee if you want your invoice mailed out where as before everyone got their invoices in the mail without  an extra fee.  Maybe it is a weird theory of mine the over reliance on the internet could backfire in a big way with the cyber wars going on at the moment. The Kindergartens and some hospitals  here have had to go back to pen and paper while the computer experts try and sort out a mess caused by ransom ware and hackers.
To me it is a bad form of social engineering and a form of discriminations for the elderly. For my one hundred year old Mum banking and bill paying has become a nightmare for her.
