Piri, that is brilliant I love the way the story develops in the lyrics. Love those sorts of songs where someone aint done right when looking for romance. A gallant knight taken by a  con artist Honkytonk Barroom Maiden pretending to be something she aint. Its Rock and Roll and I like it yes I do.

Good one Richard your song Two In The Afternoon it evokes images of my past Ocker Christmases when I lived there. Aussie Christmas days in the heat.,Akubra on my head to keep the sun off my face. Tshirt, shorts  and thongs on my feet. Enjoying a barbie while supping some cold amber fluid.  Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Jim that is definitely a song a Church congregation could sing.     

Good one Brian.     

Richard, Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas great choice to cover. Nice vocally you pulled it off. That is not an easy song to sing. Guitar worked well also.

Grah, I loved the comedy and your performance of your song.     

Thank you everyone for your interesting comments and Season Greetings to you all. I notice that my extended family in Canada and the USA say, “ Happy Holidays “ at this time of year. It has often fascinated me how Shane MacGowan song about a drunken gambler  and terrible relationship with his lady has become a much loved Christmas song. I suppose its that chorus about NYPD choir singing Galway Bay as the bells ring out on Christmas Day  that evoke a sentimental Christmas feeling. I think that’s the genius of Shanes writing that a song about a couple that hate each other can mean so much to people. RIP Shane MacGowan. Even though its summer here today it is a cold miserable day. Maybe I should pop down to our local Mall  and ask Santa who is working there today if he would like to have a beer with me. I wonder how many fake Father Christmases end up in the Police drunk tank on Christmas eve. I guess New York would have a few of those stories.

Well written Jim, and an excellent recording of your song by those musicians.     

Good one Brian     

Good one Richard I like it when I go to gigs and musicians have CD for sale. I'm still a CD man and don't buy any music online. I have never shopped online I wouldn't know how. I also enjoy a bit of Merch such as T-shirts and hats if the artist has those also. I enjoyed the track Prelude to Solitude it works really good.     

Brian, that works real good Vocals, lyrics and guitar.     

Cheers Piri, it happens to me often that blank look from people when I think I'm been funny. My humour is a little too warped for some to get.

Brian, I was surprised to see this post come up again as it was something I posted about four months back. I had to check out my recording again myself as I couldn't remember what it sounded like.

Season greetings to all of you chordie people out there.     

Richard, I guess living in a country that is periodically scorched by catastrophic bushfires becomes a consideration when looking at a location or suburb to settle in when buying a house.? I hope that you and your family are keeping safe.
