Yeah it was a goody.bit of rock n roll in the night.
My house has a few cracks in the foundations,but i don`t think at this stage
it`s a problem.Strange thing is that all the old buildings seem to be alright.
Many of the sexy new ones on the waterfront seem to be the ones with issues.
Because of the earthquakes we get here buildings are built with floating cushion foundations.
this allows buildings to absorb movement,so a building doesn`t fracture,it sways instead.
yeah you don`t really want to be 20 floors up when it sways.But at least it doesn`t collapse.
thats not rock n roll thats more ya roller coaster.

you are an inspiration,you always trying new things.
Many of us are doing the same old same old.over & over & over.
i`ve got heaps of songs written, but don`t bother any more to record them.
I`m gonna have a go at trying something totally different with them.
thanks for inspiring me!

Topic: Your Opinion please? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Gidday all
I`d like your opinion on the following.
In NZ the big song writing awards have just been presented. It`s called the APRA Silver scroll award.
Any song commercially released in the previous yr is elegable.
i guess most similar comps work the same way.
I`ve often listened to all the final 10.
My question is.
Are they judged on the actual song music/lyrics
or is the performance
or the arrangement
or all these things together eg the final record.
the last point would be my guess,but if i`m right surely it`s not truly a song comp.
your thoughts please

Re: Suggestions: October 2016 Featured Song of the Month (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Gidday All
I think SOTM is a great idea.well done mods.
I`ve done a few snippets of SOTM to support the idea & the mods.
Many of the songs chosen are similar types.
I would like the mods to choose 1 song. Maybe a song thats been covered
by many different styles /artists.put up a link to a few versions.
Eg `Fever` recorded in the 50s as RnB.In the 60s by Peggy Lee (jazz)
Madonna in the 90s (pop) 2016 Russell from chordie (rock) Plus many other covers/ styles inbetween.
Also 1 song picked from chordians suggestions.
The songs that have been covered so far are usually covered in the style of the hit record.Although often
the original performance done by the writer if different again.
hey just my two cents worth.
