I have always  liked the way some artists like Joe Cocker for instance have taken someone elses song or lyrics, then turn them into something of thier own. I have tunes in my head none seemed to deliver what I want with these words I have writen above. Some of my  better  thoughts on life leading me to what I want to do have come to me while watching the setting sun. Thank you  Easy beat and Bluejeep for your thoughts.

Thanks for the translation its made your song even more interesting. I remember the first couple of times I heard Tony Joe White singing Polk Salad Annie on the radio I thought he was singing Poke Sally Annie. My Fathers parents were Cockneys whose way of speaking would require my father to translate what they were saying to me when I was a kid. My grandparents would quiet often greet me with  Allright Boy Cor Blimey hows your trousers, what it meant I still dont know. I just took it as a greeting.

Another excellent piece of story telling through song. I cant wait for the lyrics to be writen up as I am not sure  of  what a couple of the words were, as they are ones I am not familiar with but I understood and enjoyed the whole song.

Just listened to your  This Time I Maybe Wrong on soundcloud it is a good song your guitar drives it along nicely As a song writer your vocals do the job setting down a good template for someone to cover.

Your lyrics work pefectly and the chords fit nicely.

Hi Topdown
From down here in New Zealand.
Even though I wont be at your wonderful Chordiestock I will  be thinking of you all. Here is a music game you might want to try.  First you descide on two or three chords. You also need a clock or a timer 3 minutes is usually a good length of time. You then select a subject could be anything Cars, Dogs, Love, Travel, losing your way, Whatever.
You then chose the people who are going to sing maybe four to six each will have to adlib one line then pass on singing next line to another singer,
1 Start clock
2 A selected Person then plays a rift using selected chords it doesnt matter if they get it wrong.
3 After about 10 seconds everyone else joins in with their instruments doing what they can or feel like playing.
4 Now the fun part all adlib. So say you have selected  four singers they all sing a line each made up on the spot about the subject chosen.
5 After selected time stop.
6 Work out a chorus lyric for everyone to sing, from what you have just done alowing participants only two minutes to figure one out.
7 Give the Chorus about three practise runs to get everyone in sinc sort of.
8 Get a recording device and set your clock again for whatever length of time you want it to be. Also select a conductor whose job  is to let everyone know when to sing the chorus.
9 Start recorder and clock. Alow an extra length of time for Chorus.
10 Everyone trying to remember what they had done before and descided on, which no one ever does, go for for it in the length of time you have set.
11 The same individual singers will try and sing their lines from before with everyone doing the chorus.
11 Play back recording of what you have just done and have a laugh about it.
12 If it works out good save what you have done to share with rest of the world..

I look forward to viewing and hearing the things that are put up online from Chordiestock.

I often wonder when we put things up on line will people in a hundred years time come looking for what we put up or will our posts just disapear lost to history.

A About once a week.
B Varies from once a week to every day depending on whats happening.
C Songs, Poems, and Chat Corner.
D Yes, but only in my style.
E Sometimes when a song resonates with me.
F Always, I dont worry if they put up a link or not as I never put a link to my stuff as I dont know how to do it.
G May be about 4 months not sure.

Bill I have thrown a New Year greeting up on YouTube.
Thank you for a brilliant Chordian get together.

That is a good  New Years resolution  for 2016 that I wish the world would follow. The Me, Me world seems to be promoted as an absolutely cool way to go now days which saddens me. I applaud you for recognising what we should be about. What we sow is what we reap.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from sunny summers day in Wellington, New Zealand.

Happy Birthday Bill. I loved the Waltzing Matilda song on youtube. Man you and Dondra are an awesome couple. It is now 9.23 am New Years morning here. Tuning into your New Year contributions has made our morning more fun. Our thoughts are with Dondra and hope she is managing to get some enjoyment out of today.
Love Pete and Maree
