I enjoyed this one, it put a smile on my face. I personally cant stand the stuff but my husband loves a good drop of whiskey and has a few in his collection that he likes to sip from time to time 
Well written once again.

Thanks Neophytte for the comments on my songs. Yes the first one was one I played a few years ago now, I was showing re-showing it as it was one Zurf had done too. The 2nd song agree with your comments.
Neo I enjoyed your 2 songs, particularly the one with your son who played along side of you on piano, it sounded great having him accompany you. Nicely done and performed well.

Peatle, thoroughly enjoyed that, you nailed it. The video footage you showed exactly how its been here. The rain has been unbelievable this year! Non stop and as I am writing the rain has started yet again. I have had it enough of it but like you said in the your song depicting the weather down under, I do enjoy being snug as a bug in my house with warm heaters and a nice cosy feel about the place. Makes me thankful that I am cosy and comfortable. Peatle its wonderful to see you back participating on here

Zurf I remember hearing and seeing photo`s and video`s from mekidsmom and Topdown`s get togethers for chordie people but I didn't know you or Uncle Joe had hosted them, so that's great that a few of you held get togethers. Would have been lots of fun.

Re: I Miss Those Days When Chordie Hopped (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Yes I agree jets, the a lot of the old familiar names that used to be here I haven't seen on here in ages. Miss the good conversations, the laughs and of course the music they presented. I haven't been on here as long as some of you but long enough to remember how it was.

A quick and sloppy try at how I heard Jim's song.
I liked it Zurf, you performed it really well. I liked it with the talking and blues style, very effective, you had the right type of voice for it as well. I think TIGLJK will be very pleased with your attempt as his song. Great song Jim

Re: JULY 2022 FSOTM – DOOR, CHILD, GOODBYE, RAIN, LOVE (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Here is one attempt at a song with the word CHILD in it. I did mess up at the end but didn't change it as still getting over a cold/flu bug, so coughing
and my voice was getting a bit scratchy. I hope I get to do another song this month, but will see how I go with this throat.

Phill, thanks for the tip for sore throats, I have made a note of it. Thankfully I haven't had a sore throat, just an annoying cough but on the mend. Yes its always interesting when you come across old songs, poems, writings that you have forgotten about, brings back memories.

Hey! That's cool! I really like how you started out with staccato strums and syllables and then worked into a steady strum pattern and straight singing. What a neat arrangement.
The second song, Early Morning Rain, is a Gordon Lightfoot classic. It's been covered by nearly everyone from the 1970's folk scare, but probably most memorably by Peter, Paul, and Mary. I love how in this song in the first portion Mr. Lightfoot almost whistfully sings about how the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast. Then at the end of the song, the woman he loves is flying home - quite some distance if it's a three hour flight in a 707 (we are left to presume "she" is a woman and not the aircraft - a beautiful bit of underwriting where the listener fills in the blanks), and he remains behind and practically spits out the phrase "cold and drunk as I can be" and we can imagine him on the ground near the airfield watching the plane leave with her and without him. And we are left to imagine the purpose in her coming was to take him home. It's such a wonderfully written song where he gives no details but provides enough hints for the listener to fill in a complete story.
Thanks Zurf, more accidental on my part rather than skills
I looked up the song Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot. A cool song, I have no idea how I haven't heard it before.

The door opened wide and the child burst in
A tornado in a Macintosh and short pants
Shaking off the rain and clutching his nanna
I love you nan, he said and kissed her cheek
Were off now to Disney land... goodbye, goodbye
Yahoo, he screamed and was gone in a flash
We walked to the door and waved as the car drove away
See you soon, enjoy and closed the door.
Tea? Yeah why not!
Excellent bit of writing there Phill, love it You used all the words and made it work, great stuff
