Re: Peatle Rockin' Some 12-Bar!!!!! (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Cheers thanks for the jokes. Eb and Phill. Zurf glad you got the humour. Bill in answer to your question', Robert Hall is a friend of mine who is a very good guitarist and bass player. He has been dabbling recently with recording music at home and also plays gigs with various muscians around town. He asked me to contribute my vocals to some of his compositions even though I am not a great singer. He was a profesional full time muso back in the in the early 1990s but now does only the odd gig and has a day time job. He has played guitar with many NZ top players. He was also an original member of a band called Gitbox Rebellion and played on their first album. I will attach an old video of Gitbox Rebellion for you to watch. They were an unusual band of ten guitarists. They played mostly concert style gigs.

Re: Peatle Rockin' Some 12-Bar!!!!! (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Two men walk into a bar the third one ducked.
A Horse walks into a bar. The bartender looks at horse and asks, "Why the long face?".
My ex Brother Inlaw had a drinking problem which caused the break up of his mariage to my sister.
He was staggering home one night when a homeless man came up to him'
He asked for two dollars.
My brother inlaw said to him, "no way you will only spend it on drink".
The homeles man said," no way sir I dont drink."
Brother inlaw then tells him "In that case you will spend it on gambling".
The homeless man said," no I don't gamble.">
My brother inlaw look's at him with pity before asking the homeless man to come home with him.
The homeless man asks, "sir why do you want me to come home with you.?'"
My ex brother in law replied," so my wife can see what happens to a man that doesn't drink or gamble".

Re: Your Opinion? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am not sure I could name any lasting world moving suoer talent songwriter who has turned out to be a horrible sexual preditor of vunerable people or a murderer. Though there have been many dodgy managers and production people in the entertainment industry.
They were mostly ones who had short moments of sucess and then were mostly forgotten.

I am sure Dino packed plenty into those 68 years. A member of the Chordie family whose words were appreciated world wide.
Many a songwriter will be dedicating their next song to you. RIP Dino

Kia Ora is the right Maori word and that iechyd dda is what I was trying say.
Ka Pai Phill Ka Pai means good pronounced Car Pie.
A Fijian word we use at my 96 year old mum home as she is Fijian is Bula Vinake a way of saying cheers. It also translates to hello thankyou as Bula also means hello and vinaka means thankyou.

Re: horizontal tango/good enough for buddy (15 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Hi Phill
Not only do us Kiwis who follow Rugby Union love the Welsh because we play the same game. We love the way your suporters.sing. Cardiff Arms Park is a place of pilgrimage for many a Kiwi. Your Town LLanelli is also known by many here through Rugby. Back in the early 70s our All Blacks were given a great lesson on how to play rugby in your town. It is now a privilege for me and Easybeat to have someone like you teach us how to write and put together a great song. Both songs you put up are very good but full credit must be given to you and Easybeat. Welsh entertainers like Harry Secombe, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Phill Williams have provided me with great entertainment over the years . Thank you Phill.
Quiet often on a Sunday around about 5pm I stop for a quick beer with my friends at our local there I will raise my pint and wish you my friend good health and say those Welsh words La ch yd da..

Re: Just Outside Of Nashville (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Clever chorus lines a song that works perfect which many a songwriter who has been to Nashville could relate to. Even people who are interested in country music and what Nashville represents. Many a Kiwi musician has gone there in the hope of breakking into the big time.
