Phill, well written, the older people get, yes memories of years past, seem to come back, good and bad.  Hopefully for most the good memories are stronger.  And I think most people would choose to pass peacefully in the bed and in their sleep when their time comes.  Hopefully when their time comes, it is in their very old years and not young years.

Good message Peatle, well done.     

easybeat, great humor in your song about Old Men.  I could visualize it quite well lol big_smile  Also, interesting the guitar strum playing with this one, made it interesting.     

neophytte, that was great, I liked that one.  Is that one of your originals? Also, the balance was good on this one, i.e  your guitar playing didn't overrule your vocals, so it was easy to hear your vocals this time.  Nicely done.

Peatle, it wouldn't let me comment on Soundcloud for some reason.  Anyway, I remember this one of yours as I remember the piano playing in it which was great and really added to your song.  Great lyrics and message in this one, nicely done.  Was it your Marie playing piano?

Cheers Jan maybe it would be a good discussion to have on chordie everyone's favourite movie tunes.?     I remember," The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain" has done a couple great versions of movie music. The theme from the movie "Shaft" and also "The Good Bad And Ugly" theme.

Good idea Peatle.  I guess the Chat Corner is as good a place as any to start such a discussion.  How about you starting it up on Chat Corner since it was your idea and I agree, I think would be fun.   You could share some of your favourites and other people could join in smile

I love watching The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, they are very clever!  I agree, Shaft and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly were brilliant.  Along with many others they have performed over the years.  That group was originally started up by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux back in 1985.  Sadly Kitty passed away in 2017.  She was the one who often wore a scarf in her hair.

Brian, nice one, good lyrics on this song.  Comes across as reflective and content with oneself.  Well done. 
On a different note, I have your first book and you have nothing to be embarrassed about it, I would be very pleased with myself if that was my book I had written and published.  Looking forward to purchasing your next book.     

Thanks Peatle, anyone else got some suggestions?

Peatle, they were great, she has a great voice.  Love all the brass instruments in there.  I went on to watch other videos they had made, lots of fun their band.

Cheers Jan I also enjoyed the film "To Sir With Love" when It came out. Not only can Lulu sing but she can act on stage her banter between songs is brilliant.

Yes, I loved the movie of To Sir with Love, watched it many times.

Peatle, I listened to this one again tonight and I could just visualize a child saying that to their  Father about the cat going out killing its prey.  Well done, love how you come up with these original ideas for songs.

Wow, she has amazing vocals TIGLJK and her guitar playing was perfect for this song.  I actually hadn't heard of her before or this song, so thanks for sharing.  I will check out some more of her music as I liked this one.  Thank you for thinking of me for this song but I think this lady's talent is WAY, WAY above me in every way.

I was never keen on the Bee Gees music either, though a few of my friends did and it became a thing between us all at parties, they would deliberately put on the Bee Gees music lol.

Pealte, I always loved Lulu when she sang "To Sir with Love".     

That was really good neophytte.  The song bounced along well, foot tapper.  You sang and performed it nicely.  Great to see the collaboration between you and Peatle as well, that was a bonus for us to see.  Well done to you both smile     

haha sounds hilarious  big_smile

Great song there Peatle, thoroughly enjoyed it.  Totally made sense to me too.  New to me too, hadn't heard it before.

A good song from your back catalogue Jan thank you for sharing.

Thanks Peatle for your comments.  Yeah, I added it as I totally forgot I had even covered it before on Soundcloud and Chordie.  I will have to watch that in future that I am not doubling up.     

Thanks, Richard, for listening and your comments.  And your right, the topic does remain open, it never closes.  However I have found, most people don't go back and listen to any new entries if it is not that months FSOTM.   

Wow 10 weeks on one song, (Where have all the flowers gone) yikes!  I am guessing the "shudder" is because you're not fond of the song after spending that length of time on it?

Thanks, re comments on "The Rose".  This is a song I would like to spend a bit of time on and maybe I will get back to it at some stage.  I think I could do better with a bit of practice.  It`s the song I mentioned I hadn't really played before.

Re: Apple Jack.  I have done this a few times years.  I definitely felt rusty on this one, particularly the speaking part, struggled to get all the words in with correct timing lol.  Also, my banjolele hasn't been used in I can`t remember when I last played it, so definitely need more practice on that.
