Ok, here is my attempt at the Cat Stevens song: https://youtu.be/sDch5Cn0tXw with apologies for the end ....

Cheers

Richard enjoyed your Father And Son cover.  Tell your young Jai he has got a Kiwi fan good to see you got him onboard.

A SONG
People ask me, how do you write a song?
I don't write the song's they  write themselves.
If I try and write a song it won't work.
I can't go to a song  the song has to come to me.
Yeah you know  a song can have it's own  feet.
It doesn't need me, but I need the song.
It has to come to me.
I don't know when a song comes.
Usually it comes at inappropriate times.
When I am having a conversation.
And suddenly  this song will come to me.
And  I got  to sort of go home and write it down.
Pick up a guitar or  put it on  piano.
That's what happen's to me.
A  song will alway's come to me.
I will never go to a song.
If I try hard it won't work.
If I take it  easy and just relax.
That's when it come's out.
You got to  have  a clear head at time's to write a song.
Don't  want to over think it.
And you want to let it sort of  take it's  own course
Yes a good song has it's own  feet.
It doesn't need  you.
A song has a life of it's own.
Yeah a song is it's own beast,  it's own identity.
It has a life after your life.
If it's a good song.
Yeah  a good  song can travel further than youll  ever travel and be around lot longer than you.
Yeah a song writes'  itself.

Very nice neophyte.  You have a lovely home as well.  At least a lovely back yard.

The rules seem to be somewhat fluid and (by mutual assent) barely enforced. It's all just a format for fun and learning, really.

I like the way you guys flow together.
