My friends, y'all are so talented and exceptional at what you create, I've often wondered if someone who's maybe what we consider a "Star", might stick his head in here from time to time, find a song he likes, change a chord or word and then claim it as his/her own.
Do you ever worry about this and do you suspect it might ever have happened?
Being your Number One Fan, I'd hate to see it happen to any of you.
Just concerned and thanks for all you do.
Bill
I enjoyed every minute and I thank those of you whose music I featured for allowing me to do so. New Year's Eve would have been a real downer had I not been able to do that and be "with" my best friends from all over the world for a little while.
Y'all are "Number One With A Bullet" (old dj terminology) in my book for now and for ever.
Love you guys and ladies
Bill and Dondra
Arkady is a great composer and musician for sure, and I am fortunate to be able to listen to his work.
This week I'm a little late, so please excuse me.
I wanted to feature this guy who seems a lot like the rest of us with a song I just happened to bump into. I call it a novelty song and he sings it to the tune of "The Happy Wanderer". I hope you enjoy this one......
Blew me away, both of you! Check my notes on the Tube! Great job. Just blew me away!!! 
Thank you, both!
Bill
Just an update, -and thanks mazzy for your kind note, we both appreciate it - We have to go Friday morning for another cardioversion due to the fact her heart beat has gotten out of rhythm again and the pacemaker can't make it work.
We both ask for all of your prayers, because it has now come to the point where she cannot arrange her own meds. I saw her a few nights ago and she was not herself, so I took over that part of it and I hope I can do the job, because I sometimes have my own problems with my meds. So please pray for me that I can take care of my wife and please pray for us Friday morning.
She thinks I am mad at God (and she's a really religious lady), but although I am somewhat, I do pray to him every night to let her live and take me instead. I would gladly go in her place.
Thanks and please excuse me if you don't see me for a while. I will see your responses on my e-mail, but don't know if I can respond in a timely manner.
Thank you all again
Bill
I said i saved the best for last and I did. My friend Jim (TIGLIK) wrote and recorded this one on very short notice and the love comes right through. Let it play, for Peatle's song as well, please.
Happy New Year and much love from Bill and Dondra
So we're coming up on midnight and Dondra asked me to play this one for her/us right about now....
Some of the deepest lyrics come from these great writers and musicians. None of them apologize for what they have to say, and here is one example: It's an anti-war song done by Phill. It says it all. https://soundcloud.com/iphillfine/to-be-a-hero
"Ripple in still waters....." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=671AgW9xSiA
The Gray One sings about what we're all waiting for......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgM4_eYvPrw
Peatle turns it loose...... https://soundcloud.com/eatleville/come-on-guitar
Peter Benson has a knack for choosing songs that make you go, "Oh, Man!", and then he makes you want to listen. This is one of those tunes.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfCq43ZyaF4
Thanks for all the great covers, Peter! I think I'm about to have a "Nostalgia Attack".
And here's Phill reminiscing about his younger rock band days! "He's been readin' my mail!" --- Kris Kristofferson.
Thanks, dino my friend. Always great to hear from you!
Bill
Okay, time for another break. Back in a few. Can you tell I'm running out of music? I've saved the best for last though....
I love the "Strayans". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D-LmRNdQiQ.........
And another one from Arkady. Remember to click on the picture.....http://ourstage.com/t/NPADBMTSXTFV
One requested by me. I have Keef's new CD, "Cross-Eyed Heart" and it's really good...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmR1LNK0f8o
And while we're on the old "traditional kick", here's one I played for the Australians this morning:

Thanks for the laughs, Zurf
Guess Who?
Lady has a strong voice doesn't she? I could listen to her in a Coffee House environment all night!
Here is the correct link for "My Life Revolves Around Pee"
Sorry. Can I plead lack of sleep as the reason for my inattentiveness?
Apologies again. 
Bill
easybeat, AKA "rough as" with a rockin' little tune called "Some People". "Gimme another shot", indeed!

Remember Cecil The Lion who was shot by the dentist? Tiglik put his story in a song:
Strummerboy Bill wrote:Another one of The Chordians we don't hear very often, but this song is really well recorded and sung. Here is Jerome O'Neill and "One Of These Days"......
https://myspace.com/jerome_oneil
And this one comes from a site called "Friends Of Chordie". I'm thinking it is Roger again since his picture appears at the beginning of the site, but it's a great ballad: "Sorry Old Doll"
Something is wrong here Bill
Both links take you to the same song; Roger's "One of These Days"
Just thought I'd let you know
I know. I played the "One Of These Days" by what I thought was Roger first, then I heard it by Jerome and now I don't know who is actually singing.
Sorry! "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player!"
Maybe they can give us the scoop.
Thanks, my friend!
Bill
This one, by our friend Zurf I just had to hear because of the title: "My Life Revolves Around Pee"....... A little comedy in song for ya! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_LLWi_Xq6I
Thanks for the laughs, Zurf
Guess Who?
Lady has a strong voice doesn't she? I could listen to her in a Coffee House environment all night! Great job, Amy!
Mojo01 has a way with a song. Whether it's a story song like "Johnny" or this one which is a one sided dialogue between a man and a woman in a troubled relationship.....
https://soundcloud.com/mojo01/love-hate
This is yours truly in one of the few times I ever went into the studio to record. If it sounds familiar it's sung to the tune "T For Texas". It was about a relationship I had while I was divorced from Dondra and I really let "Maggie" have it with both barrels in this song: "M for Maggie"
Don't forget folks, if you have a song that I don't know about, feel free to insert it here between my choices.
As I mentioned before, I enjoy listening and watching Peter Benson on his YouTube channel and we've been playing his music ever since we came home from the hospital this evening. Peter has a very nice vocal range and he lets it show in this tune especially....

Another one of our ukulele playing musicians: SAK Li'l Steve. This one is called "Dead End Job". The ukes are really catching on here on Chordie and we look forward to hearing more!
Another one from TIG: A great song called "Country Music Can Fix A Broken Heart"i Nice job, Jim!
https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/country-m … oken-heart
Okay, I gotta put this one in. I wrote the song and Phill polished and recorded it for me. If you don't know the story, Grah1 did a cover of a tune of mazzy's called "Broken" (you heard it upthread). He titled it "Broken Cover", meaning he was covering the song mazzy had already written and recorded.
I read it differently and titled it "Broken Cover" about a 15 year old kid who is in love with a 17 year old girl, and to let her know, he has to "break his cover" - come out of hiding, in other words. Here once again is Phill
So here its is: written in about an hour: https://soundcloud.com/bill-craig-7/broke-my-cover
Another one of The Chordians we don't hear very often, but this song is really well recorded and sung. Here is Jerome O'Neill and "One Of These Days"......

Oh no!!! I made a mistake up yonder y'all. I thought I was playing Peter Benson's cover of "It's All Going To Pot", but it was really a Bobby Helms tune called "Fraulein". I apologize, Peter and this is what should have played. ....

And another one from our Music Theory moderator, Russell Harding: "Colors In The Wind". Turn this one up too.....
Another one from The Gray One: Copperhead Road...... May wanna turn it up a little.....
https://soundcloud.com/bill-craig-7/sets/new-years-2
He's known to us as Bald Guitar Dude, but his real name is Joe Lilly and here he is playing live. "Use Me Up To Superstition".....
Back and while I was gone, I got an e-mail from Uncle Joe's Band with a link to his site where I chose this - one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs - "Monkey and The Engineer":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvkdaJi-Zkc
I also got an e-mail from Amy (mekidsmom and she has graciously recorded a song for Dondra and myself. We loved it, Amy and we both thank you for taking the time and trouble!
