Ronnie And The Rockets interesting repertoire and a good band name.     

Jim and Brian that was clever thank you for sharing your playful wit. Jim  I enjoyed the video also it brought back good memories.

lamb chop Shari Lewis side kick. I remember Lamb Chop giving advice to Shari about money. Lamb Chop said to her something along the lines of, every time you meet a girl called Penny think about coins. Every time you meet a man called Bill you think about  paper money notes. Every time you meet a man called Johnny think about cash.

Talking about cash while the farmers away  his sheep get into the Pizza business in this video .  Some kids stuff can be amusing to watch and sometimes I enjoy it more than the kids do.

My orthopedic specialist this morning made me laugh with his wacky  sense of humour.

If you boil a funny bone it becomes a laughing stock that’s Humerus.     

Thank you Jan your doing a brilliant  job keeping this going on chordie.     

She is real good Grah and the guitarist sounds great also. Poly Kala πολύ καλά  very good Ellen. I love that style of Greek music. Maree and  I use to go to a club in Thessaloniki called in English '" Ten Steps In The Sand". I forgotten how you say the name  in Greek apart from deka being the ten part of it. There  was plenty of modern Greek music and also English folk songs played there. The atmosphere and music was always magic to me when I was there.. Ellen and her guitarist brought back good memories of Greek music flooding back to me. Also while writing this it brings back memories of Greek parties in the village where my wife parents lived in Greece. Thank you Grah I enjoyed the video.     

Thank you everyone for your comments.         
EB as long as the sheep don’t  follow a Judas Lamb they might live to see another day. Up until a few years ago at our local Meat Works here they use to have Judas lambs The judas lamb was a trained animal that calmly leads the other lamb s into the slaughterhouse. The Judas lamb gets to live another day where as the others don’t.  If people were to put a sheep in control of their country, no doubt  it would  be called a dictatorsheep.

As to your question EB about me writing many of my observation in bars hopefully I have also written a good amount about people I see in all sorts of other situations, Though I suppose from an observational view point society-at-large and its big diversity of people many of whom go to bars makes plenty for me to write about.. Society at large is often represented well as a microcosm in the patrons and staff, at bars. I find bars on a good night have people there from all different backgrounds and interests and beliefs. The way people behave after a few drinks can also be interesting. Bars attract everyone from good to bad people. Characters who are there because they are having a bad night or just passing through or there for many other reasons. Millions of different back stories have they. Interactions with a stranger at a bar can often quickly give us cues about their inherent morality. In those bar situations around strangers, I tend to be on my guard but still taking it all in. People watching is fun you just got to be subtle when doing it. In a restaurant or a coffee shop or whatever it's a different way of socializing or behaving to what people do in a bar. People do subtly check each other out in in situations other than in bars but outside that pub environment people tend to stick to themselves more or their group giving me less to write about.     

Jim you have a clever way of putting lyrics together. I enjoyed hearing you sing and play it on Soundcloud in your unique way.     

That came out good Grah . The banjitar would go good while playing a kick drum and singing I would imagine also.     

Cheers Zurf I could imagine playing that song with a jazz trio in a smoke filled Speak Easy in the American prohibition era. Though I suspect a song about whisky would go down better with a Speak Easy crowd than a song about flowers.

This my entry for August is called When Flowers Bloom. It is winter here and my garden has taken a bit of hiding  mostly due to strong cold winds though there are some flowers in my garden that the petals haven't been destroyed. .  . It was a bit hard going on my fingers but I managed to squeeze out a tune on the guitar for this one in a style I don't normally play but my Maree likes to listen to. It was just recorded on my cell phone no fancy mikes or anything. I tried to write some simple but easy to remember lyrics.
