Bill, have been reading through this whole thread today, thinking of you both and got you both in my prayers.  In New Zealand there is a Maori saying "Kia Kaha" which means Stay Strong.

Bill, haha love it, very clever! I watched the John Lennon one as well smile

Hi Bill and Dondra, here is my attempt at Bill`s song.  Love the words to your song Bill, I know the ukulele doesn't do as much justice to it as a guitar but I am not the best guitar player at the best of times.  Sorry for the late attempt, have just been so busy myself lately.

Phill, a very moving song, you sing it so well (as you do with all your songs).  After visiting 2 big exhibitions here in Wellington NZ this weekend about the ANZACs, a timely song with the words and meaning.

Hi pondscummer, I play the ukulele, I play amongst my collection sopranos, concert and banjolele, my next buy will be a tenor. Aiming in particular for a 6 string tenor, beautiful sound. With regards to baritone, although they are good, the tenor to me is nicer. I play in a large and small group situation quite often  with a person who has a baritone and it can be overpowering, particularly if the person playing it is right beside you or behind you. Also may be a bit harder if you have arthritis as it does have a wider fret board.  Having said that, I play with people who play guitars and they don't seem as over powering as the baritone to me ..... So not sure what it is about the baritone but it is particularly loud.

Easybeat, thanks a bunch,  it is great to get feedback and if it wasn't for you in the very first place encouraging and suggesting I put music on sound cloud and then chordie, I probably would never have started.  So it is a BIG thank you to you cause you started me on this adventure smile

Peatle, wow you changed the whole song again, adding another whole dimension to it, awesome ................you guys are so awesome and what I am amazed at is the way one song or in this case one (poem) can be interrupted in so many different ways, styles.  Great stuff.  Bring on the ladies in here, what's your versions?

TIGLJKI love it, well done, great version you have done and you already know I am a fan of your voice and music.   Agree with Peatle Jville this all started from Bill and look what has happened, great stuff coming out from everyone.  I agree with Peatle Jville and I myself have told you in the past, you definitely have a Bob Dylan sound smile

wow really good TIGLJK

Strummerboy Bill, haha you are awesome!   I love all your messages above ..... wow, you blew me away with all your comments! I cant thank you enough for ALL your wonderful feedback, comments, everything you have said regarding my song, really made my day all of it and couldn't stop grinning like a Cheshire cat at all your comments.  Could hardly fit my head out the door wink

  Anyway, glad it had an impact on you and by the sounds a couple of others here.  I kind of thought when I wrote it, that it would only impact woman, so it was with a great surprise and unexpected surprise that it could have such an effect on men as well, so I am very touched by your words that it does have an affect on guys too.  So as I said, thank you heaps smile

And to your comment earlier up there, I would be honored if anyone wanted to play this song, I would love to hear it on guitar and other people take on it.  So feel free and if you want to share it with us, great smile

And finally, to your last comment, nope you didn't scare me off with all the comments, I was just out all day yesterday and so didn't get onto Chordie to reply smile
