I tried when I was 13, when my grandparents gave me an acoustic guitar, and I tried for a year. It hurt so much to play. I mean, the fingertips hurt so much, I gave up. Eric Clapton.
Roger you do a great version you should be proud of it .
Hello Bill great to see you back on here.
I would love to see more people post on here.
Miley and the band knocks that one out of the ball park excellent. Another modern artist that has suprised me is Pink singing Me and Bobby Mcgee

Jim I was very close to my father's parents and though many years have past since they died I still feel their presence in my heart. Your song is beautiful and while reading your lyrics I had this picture in my head of them singing to me your song.
I was watching Chet Atkins on youtube a while back playing and talking about guitar. He said he loved playing guitar like he did but always wished he had the talent and technique to play in other styles.
I like the way your second version rocks. I still think the first one on soundcloud is an excellent track. To my ears the second one didnt quiet come up to the first one but still a top song.
CSOM great to hear all your covers.
I love your nice clean lead guitar with the vocals and backing vocals. A top song all those tracks you laid down fit perfect like a hand in a glove. On top of your musicianship the sound engineering balanced perfectly.
To me music shouldn’t be about getting famous. It shouldn’t be about the size of your following. It should be part of the way in which you connect with the everyday people in the world around you. Fame is a fleeting enjoyment. But if you’re really lucky, playing music can last forever. To me this is what all the wonderful Chordie folk on here are about connecting to good people and the enjoyment of life and music. I feel humbled to be accepted as part of this community.
Phill it is great to have Easybeat appear again out of the woodwork and show the world his good talent.
Cheers Phill thank you for your feedback. I just heard on the radio your rugby team has had two good wins over the last two weekends. TF that is a good trophy size trout.
Jim your attention to detail and talent with your hands to make a guitar that requires a high level of craftmanship I admire. I love the pics look forward to hearing it on here.
Phill that song is writen by Easybeat and also is all his singing and playing . I am sure Eb would pleased with your constructive comment. If it was me doing the song it would be all over the place as I play and sing badly only by feel.
Easybeats song Memory Remains ( Wahine ) is now part of the New Zealand’s national documentary heritage collections, held in the Alexander Turnbull Library.The sinking of the Lyttelton–Wellington ferry Wahine on 10 April 1968 was New Zealand’s worst modern maritime disaster. Fifty-one people lost their lives that day, another died several weeks later and a 53rd victim died in 1990 from injuries sustained in the wreck. Here is a link to Easybeat doing his song on soundcloud.

I am not much of a singer or musician myself but I love it when I have been able to do my thing with good musos.
Phill that song makes me feel like a teenager again excellent I looking forward to hearing it.
Another trick of singing and playing for friends for a sing along is as long as your singing is good no one notices the bits you cant play. When you miss a chord out as long as the rhythm is still there or just using vocals to fill the small gap can also work.
Beamer a great song about what we see on the outside is not what is always in the inside. I hope you record this one,
Cheers TF we have rivers here in NZ with Brown and Rainbow Trout also in the South Island Salmon. If you come to NZ you will discover many a good spot to Fly Fish. I have had the privilege: in my time to have had the experience of living in differant parts of the world,. I have noticed as you have stated with eloquence: that when we strip away the exterior trappings of culture and such, people are essentially the same throughout the world. Without thinking about it until now I am pleased my writing has acknowledged and represented that.
TF that part of that song Time you quote motivated me to do a twenty one day Outward Bound course back in 1974. Hearing it live just now made me think of how the whole song has played in my head regually when I want to motivate myself when taking on new challenges. Great choice thank you for putting it up this week.
Was it Spike Milligan who said, " The blinds are drawn but the furniture is real"?
Thank you TF for your feedback. I glad some of the things Kiwi, I have put on here are of some interest to those from other parts of the world.
Thank you Neo and Classical Guitar for your kind comments. Easybeat asked me to put that song on soundcloud. I had that song in my head but wasn't sure if it was any good. Now I have lost a lot of movement in my arms and hands I can't always put the idea in my head out on the piano or guitar.
