That would be a good track to have running on a travelling video. Nice smooth guitar.

Beamer Arthur Fiedler was  responsible for making my Fathers parents realise  that the Beatles were good at what they did. For the first two decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, New Zealanders stood for God Save The Queen. at the start of every movie session. We have two official  National Anthems one is God Defend New Zealand and the other is God Save The Queen. This God Save The Queen anthem was a problem for me as my Mum a royalist loved it and my father an anti royalist despised it. .The problem for me as a kid was  I didnt like going to movies with my father because when they played God Save The Queen at the beginning of a movie my Dad would make us stay seated. This quiet often ended up with my  father getting into fights and arguments with people telling us to stand up. He got us kicked out of a few movie theatres.  In the end I would only go to the movies with my Mother and stand up like everyone else.

TF and Joey , Zurf, interesting memories you guys have thank you for sharing them..My mother  was into Herb Albert and people like Frank Sinatra plus Elvis and also  South Pacific Island music and classical.  Mum suprised me when she  heard Jethro Tulls Living In The Past and ended buying the 45rpm  of it. My Dad died back 1967  he  was open to all styles of music his record collection was huge and covered all styles. He would buy most of his records of Seaman friends whose ships had been to ports that  sold records that we couldnt get here.. When it came to singing and playing songs with  his friends it was  mostly  skiffle music. My mum when she played her ukulele would mainly sing songs in  Fijian and other South Pacific languages. Every now and then she would sing songs like Red Sails In The Sunset.

I like the way you guys flow together.

Hi Bill
You have had a few rounds to fight, Like  a real champion you fought like a Bee and made those things flee. Soon you will come right, once you get rid of those pesty mites.  That rotten Devil  will  have to flee..
Love to you and Dondra
Pete

It moves fast good one to get the crowd moving.

Hello Trevor sorry to hear about your lungs. Your doing the right thing getting that guitar I don't own one of those but have  played one and man they play  beautiful, even in my hands, With your large family it must be beautiful to have you all together making music? If you ever get the chance make some recordings. It would be nice if you feel like it to hear your playing  here on Chordie. Keep  posting on here its good to have another voice join in.

Beamer here is a poem I wrote  a while back about writing songs.
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.

Richard I like your version. I like the way you make guitar playing that would be difficult for most people  look so relaxed. You say your voice isn't great, but I actually I like it's laid back quality.
Jandle good to hear your voice and playing again. Easy Beat was telling me the Now Is Only Once Poem I wrote has had 4780 views.
I remember you did an amazing job of making  it into a song. I have just  listened to it again after not  hearing it for a long time  and loved your version. Attachment below for anyone who hasn't heard Jandle's  top version.

Richard just listened to your vocals you have a good voice.  I liked the arrangement also with the backing vocals and nice playing.

I just listen to your track Richard. Nice guitar and the lady has a good voice. I just play piano and guitar  by feel but recently I have stoped playing due to a medical condition. My singing is Kwrap.  Blues is my comfort zone style of singing. I usually just record using a cell phone no fancy tech. I will attach a track that seems to be the one chordians have given the best feedback on    https://soundcloud.com/eatleville/phone-my-guitar
