Peatle, so good to see you performing again, especially when it's not easy for you with your   
shoulder, arms and fingers giving you trouble.  Anyway, I liked the message in this one, and I agree with the lyrics and agree I WANT THE RAIN TO MOVE ON TOO big_smile  Liked to what you did with the guitar playing, was interesting to listen to.  Good to see you playing around with the sound effects on the vocals.  Great stuff, keep them coming smile

Peatle, that Nan of yours sounds a hoot, gotta love the Nans (and Grandads) out there smile

Thanks Phill, hope you have more luck contacting Roger than I have had. 

I remember years ago saying,  "right said Fred" (meaning and used in the context of "let's start these dishes") whilst doing the dishes with my youngest son and his buddy.  Well, the two of them, laughed and laughed so much, at me saying that, that the 3 of us were in stitches so much that we had sore faces and stomachs from laughing so much.     

Had a listen today to this one Jim, well written once again and I agree with Peatles comment on Soundcloud that would suit an orchestra to this one.

Peatle, that was a great piece of writing.  I think many of us can relate as we older and reflect.  Some lines in particular stood out, such as this one for example "Fill me with the wisdom of old fashion truth". Good to see you still writing smile

Yes, I wondered about Bill and Russell as well, haven't seen either of them since before Covid.  I haven't seen or heard from Roger either, I wrote him an email about something to do with Chordie and no reply from him either.  I hope they are all ok.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - that songs been taken by Julie Andrews herself big_smile  Oh and an American woman Nina Jankowicz who was appointed by the USA for a newly created "Disinformation" Governance Board.  She resigned from the position amid the dissolution of the board by the DHS in May 22.  Wonder if it was the song ;D

Good to see some interaction on here and good to see a couple of names we don't seem that often these days.   Rock on the Left-Handed players smile     

Great to see the suggestions in here.  Anymore members want to add their word for next month's FSOTM?     

Anymore entries? last month and this month seem to be very quiet with entries.     

Nicely performed and written neophytte.  Good to see your still out there performing and extra special that you're performing your own work smile     

WORLD is my one-word suggestion.

Look forward to see what words you all choose.

Looking for SUGGESTIONS for this JUNE from YOU the MEMBERS. 

Just SUGGEST ONE WORD from each of you, for SONGS to COVER and or to write ORIGINALS for.
So, the more members that SUGGEST a WORD, the more SONGS we can perform or write next month.

Look forward to reading what you all SUGGEST.

READY ... SET ... GO!!!

Wow, MAY already!

This MONTH for MAY 2023 FSOTM, looking for SONGS with the following WORDS:

FINE

Here are some SUGGESTIONS from members:

Grah1:  They Call Me Breeze – JJ Cale
neophytte: Country Road – John Denver
                    Thinking Is the Best Way to Travel – Moody Blues
TIGLJK: Summer Breeze – Seals and Croft
                Home – Edward Sharp and The Magnets
                Fire and Rain – James Taylor
                I Feel Fine – James Brown

The SONG or SONGS can be ORIGINALS written by yourselves or a COVER from another person or band.

READY ... SET ... GO!!!

Great thanks everyone for the suggestions smile     

As for me, I had a song lined up, a cover using the words, prelude and solitude, BUT after many attempts to nail it, FAIL BIG TIME!  So I have given up on it, was getting frustrated I couldn't nail it.  So nothing from me this month sad     

Phill, that was awesome, you used all the words, love it.  At first I saw this as a clever poem using all the words but afterwards and maybe because I listen to neophyttes song just before I read your entry, I could also hear your poem/song using the same tune neophytte had to his song on your song, it worked!  Though I am sure you want your own tune put to this, I could so hear it put to the tune of neo`s song.     

neophytte, that was really good, well written, well sung and well played, you nailed it this month, I applaud you.   Side little note .... I would still love to hear louder vocals from you smile
