A very BELATED Merry Christmas and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Chordian friends smile 
December was crazy busy for us this year; I had no time to do anything else besides what we were busy doing.  So now on holiday, I hope to catch up a bit more.   Here in New Zealand our summer has been very mixed weather wise, though warm enough to be wearing shorts and t-shirts, presently we are getting LOTS of rain, bummer as I am presently holidaying at the beach.  Having said that, we have had some great hots days too. 
Looking forward this year to hopefully getting into music a lot more, kind of lost my mojo (excuse the pun mojo01) over the last couple of years and with now not practicing and performing with a group anymore, it kind of gets away on ya.

Maybe the Admins might be better to check them out, it's hard to know isn't it.  As for conspiracy, nothing like a bit of conspiracy theory to follow and check out big_smile     

neo - firstly congrats on being the first up this month with entries.  They were both good, I enjoyed them both.  But of the two songs, my favorite was TIME.  Your cover of the song suited you vocally and you played it really well.  Excellent choice of cover for you all round on TIME.  A thumbs up from me smile

I sat on the beach, enjoying the sun,
Watching people, their coming and going.
Some lay on towels or sat in their chairs,
Reading books or sound asleep, I could hear their snores.
Some people ran across the hot sand,
Jumping and leaping as it burnt their feet
Running to the water, ready to dive deep.
Some were afloat bobbing up and down,
Some were diving and jumping enjoying the waves
Others out on surfboards, boogieboards with flippers,
Motorboats pulling water skier’s and some yachts were afloat.
A gentle breeze cools the hot air, a dog barks at its master to throw the stick again.
Parents arrived with children and babies in tow,
Armed with buckets, spades and floating toys to keep the kids afloat.
Surf lifeguards in their yellow and red,
Strutt their stuff as they eye the sea.
More than a few sunburnt bodies are seen everywhere,
Flesh getting flashed in bikini`s, togs and shorts,
Some to admire, some not so …
Lol life is good as I take all of this in,
Relaxing on holiday, I am truly in Bliss.

Nicely done to Phill, that last bit "Undressing there before me, we shared the chocolate bar" that was clever, I wasn't expecting that lol big_smile   

Peatle,  Waikanae Beach, a great beach.  So neat the story of meeting in friendship then becoming married and of the feelings as young people verses now older and wiser.  Nicely written.  Could picture it well with your writing.

Jeff that was a fantastic piece of writing and I could honestly see that in a poetry book with all the drawings to go with it.  A mixture of enchanted, mystical, mystery feel to it.  Excellent, had me reading it word for word, wondering where it was taking us the readers too.  Brilliant.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay as away on holiday.  Sadly, I didn't get time to enter a song for December as it was a ridiculously busy month for us and then Christmas was here and the holidays before I knew it.  Anyway, here are some old ones I did a few years ago for Christmas which I will use as my entry.

neophytte, thats a lovely Christmas song an old favorite for many people.  Merry Christmas to you too smile     

Great, thanks TIGJLK for suggestions smile     

Any suggestions people? smile     

As for me, I am struggling to find time to even record anything at the moment.     

Tigljk, such a great song, you should be very proud of that one.  And how awesome to have such talent performing it for you.

Another nice original song by you Tigljk.  This one is lovely with all the thoughtfulness and thankfulness within the lyrics.     

Any suggestions?

I have one that I am thinking about doing which is Something in the Water by Brooke Fraser but covered by the Wellington Ukulele sympathy orchestra which I quite like.     

easybeat, you're too hard on yourself, your entry made me smile when I listened to it.  I don't think you left it up long enough for people to hear it. 

Tigljk, another great bit of writing skills there on your song Give me Christmas.  You just keep on coming up with them, don't know how you do it.  I had a listen on Sound Cloud, and I liked where you were going with this one and the beat to it. 

mojo, great to see you back here after being away so long, thanks for entering a song for us this month.  Great cover, I hadn't heard that song before, so I went to Robert Earl Keen and listened to it and then listened to your cover and you covered it really well, suited your voice.
