Good one Kim reminiscent of how I imagine Santana would approach Jims song.

Thank you for having a listen and the feed back. I did the backing as single tracks with borrowed instruments with the help of my visiting friend from India, Yogesh and his work, microphones and other tricks. With the vocals I just recorded that with a cell phone no mike. My aim is to try to keep things raw as possible and aviod using technology. Also that way it covers up my poor singing voice. So its all done manual on this one so that is why the playing is not that great. Drums, Keyboard, Guitar, Bass. We only had an hour to get the instruments down. Vocals done at home later with cell phone. Zurf I have been trying to get a tune out of a Hamonica I got given at Christmas and it has proved to be a tough instrument to conquer.

That sounds like you know Easy Beat. On the tennis court he is a legend of great wit, and return hits.
When the the Easy Beat Film comes out will we have Peter Fonda playing Easy Beat.

So are you suggesting something like: Waiata Wahine Moderator?
Roger
I think the Uke-A-Lady moderator is the best title it has nice flow to it.. Wahine Waiata doesnt have a flow to it and wasnt meant as a name sugestion, I was just comenting on it was nice to have a Kiwi moderator. Kiwi is a New Zealand Native bird and also the word Kiwi is a name for a New Zealander. When New Zealanders and Australians get together we refer to ourselves as Ozzies and Kiwis. I also know that folks overseas refer to Kiwi Fruit as a Kiwi.

Topic: Easy Beat (6 replies, posted in Poems)
This a few words about running into Easy Beat on a street in Wellington.
Easy Beat
Standing on Salamanca Road talking to Easy Beat.
On a street next to Vic University with passing clever feet,
Talking about music and poetry from a working mans seat.
Enlightening me about words that are poetry does Easy Beat.
Before my feet move on marching to their own beat.
Cheeky Tuis calling at us.
Rustling away on branches looking for nector.
Distracting us for a minute while we consider the tunes and lyrics of life.
Passing thoughts.
Next to passing traffic rushing by, we take our time.
Enjoying a moment not letting it pass too quick.
He has a tennis ball to chase.
I have a public servants job to complete.
We are not off just to compete we just want to be complete.
Thank you friend for your time on the street.
Thats me and my friend Easy Beat.

Re: Cheap Thrills (6 replies, posted in Poems)
That is a great piece on todays throw away society and craft skills now relegated to history.
I dont want to hear songs writen by computers.
I dont want a computerised love.
I want real human love.
Love of a real person.
The rest of life has been overtaken by cheap and thats all we can affford.
First it was cheap labour overseas that took our jobs.
Now it is technology objects created by passionless machines.
