You guys rock three wonderfully talented dudes. The combination of each of your inputs made the final product a entertaining experience that made me feel like I was a teenager again at a Youth dance.

Hi Bill
I have thrown a rough attempt on soundcloud for a couple of days of your clever piece. Hopefully someone who is better at that sort of genre will put together something that will do your piece more justice. It is under Peatle Jville on Soundcloud.

Re: Got A Funny "GIG STORY" You Wanna Share.... (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Tenement
I think you come from a community that has real good values. I am a white guy born to a English father and a part Fijian mother. As a kid I never thought of skin colour as on my mother side we are of all colours. As a kid living in Fiji for a while I never noticed that I was one of the few white kids around. Colour meant nothing apart from wishing my skin was darker so that I could handle the sun better.

Re: Got A Funny "GIG STORY" You Wanna Share.... (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
This is not a gig story. Many years ago when I was walking through a park over in Tokyo Japan I was mobed by a whole bunch of screaming teenage girls who mistook me for a pop star. Maree who was with me was asked by a passer by does he play with Rod Stewart. That was my 15 seconds of mistaken fame. This now is more a gig story when I was living in Sydney I became friendly with an old Jazz trumpet player. Every now and then I would sing an odd blues number with his band. His band's drummer had a drinking problem and got kicked out of the pub they were playing at. Im not that good a drummer but filled in for the last set just jamming along to old standards. After the gig, a gig guide reporter asked me about my style of drumming. I jokingly told him I came from the Keith Moon school of drumming. The next guide that was published noted that a fill in drummer had played the last set with the band. It also said the drummer from New Zealand had also played drums with the famous Who.

Re: Strummed Out...... (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Bill I enjoyed reading your Dont Cross The Robot lyrics. I can visualise, Don't Cross The Robot been used in a concept album or a film or Tv or even just as a poem, maybe a narrated song with sound effects. I hope someone picks up your lyrics and presents it. I am sure one of the Chordie family is working on your ideas as we speak. Artificial Inteligence Robots, Computers are taking over and it is not all good. Your thoughts on all sorts of things make me think. Thank you for your imput and bringing differant perspective to Chordie Land.

Keep them coming Jim another excellent production. I love the way you cover diverse subjects. Deployments are extremly tough on family life. Over the years though I have found that deployment also has strengthend some relationships and made those people appreciate each other even more.

Re: Panama Papers (nothings changed) (5 replies, posted in Poems)
There many who have large amounts of money who dont pay taxes or put back. While the struggling masses have no option and pay their taxes. Large Corperates are ruthless in the way they destroy small business. Good on the few wealthy philanthropist who try and make a differance. EB you got me thinking.

1986 I appreciated the talent of Queen but wasn't a fan apart their Bohemian Rhapsody.. My wife Maree took me to Wembly stadium as we were in London, to see Queen ,which blew me away. Best concert I have been to in my life and since then a total fan.

Re: Under The Bridge (7 replies, posted in Poems)
It must be disheartening for the the increasing number of young people who have studied hard to improve their lifes stuck working on minimum wage jobs due to lack of opportunity. Fast Food shops and other global franchises full of qualified people who studied hard to pass exams unable to use their qualifications stuck in low paid jobs. The other side is also those young people who dont have qualification but are prepared to work hard if they could get a job. I agree with Jim a beautifully writen piognant poem. EB you have got us all thinking.

Jim those words hit the mark. My wife and I have worked with drug addicts in the past at the Bridge programme those lyrics bring out what addiction is. Societys around the world are been destroyed by drug addiction a modern epidemic.
One of my songs on soundcloud Louis And Mum is about two drug addicts I knew when I lived in Sydney..
