Graham - MEEEEOOOOWWWW !! That is first rate tongue in cheek comedy put craftily into a great song ! Some very clever lyrics and a superb melody. Well played my friend! Thanks for sharing this and making the week start off on a purrrrrrrrfect manner ! I love it. Jim
p.s. when I was 9 I put our family cat in the washer - luckily my mom caught it before it started. She was not amused with me at at all and I got a little more than a sock in the puss.

was there a special echo effect ? sounded pretty cool.
I did chuckle bc you used meters instead of feet like we do here in US.

Here's a new verse for the Pawnee Creek song
I had a woman long ago up on Pawnee Creek
she loved to touch and admire my physique
well her fingers were sexy, long and very thin
but she left me when she saw my tiny mandolin
Have a good one !

Re: Isolation Blues (5 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Graham - great song on a sensitive subject !
That is cool clapping for NHS - yesterday our high school band teacher and his family went to some members of the band's house's - met them outside - and played the U.S. National anthem for our small town to hear. They played a little under a dozen places around town. . I videotaped them outside of my house. It was very cool and inspiring.
Hoping you all are safe and healthy.

I am always a huge fan of your musical abilities and song writing.
would it be too much of a hassle for you to post the lyrics ?
I am so glad you have your music ability with you in Africa !
Have you ever thought of doing a song including some African beat - a la Paul Simon on his Graceland album.

Solid advice !!
These certainly are the times that try our souls as Thomas Paine wrote back in 1776.
I am thankful that we have the ability to share concerns here on chordie and get some relief in a variety of ways.
I too try to always respond to posts here on chordie.
Keep positive, and stay healthy. Hopefully we can all write a song in few months about all of this and say " phew - we made it through that "
best wishes Brian and all my chordie pals and gals.
