That is a beautiful guitar  can't wait to hear Bill playing and singing with it.

Brilliant  video  Bill you are onto my humour.

I like your differant take on Christmas Phill not everyone gets to have a family Christmas. It seems to me your song is writen from the perspective of a person having Christmas alone.????

Beamer you have a great songwriting gift. Your recording to me has a bit of a Lou Reed feel to it which I like. Keep those songs coming.

Thank you Bill for your kind comments the song,  Sold Ya Soul, was writen by Easybeat. If I coulld play the piano better I would have taken it up a notch. The Blues, Gospel, and Soul is what I grew up singing at home. When I was younger I spent a lot of time in smoke filled Jazz an  Blues venues. When I was in my Mid Twenties living in Sydney, I sang with a small group of Jazz Blues musos who were all around the age of 60 and over. The Band leaders daughter  the only one near my age and I were good friends. She would also sing with them much better than I  could sing. I was  paid mostly with free booze and food and entry to clubs and bars they were paid with cash. My day time job use to suffer a lot due to my late nights out.

Greg Lake was a magic muscian. ELP  were an exceptional band.

A couple friends of mine have had knee surgery like yours and have been pleased with improved quality of life.

Phill. I don"t live in a forrest just on the edge of a beautiful valley. There are plenty of trees around here and not far away is a forrest that goes to the top the highest hill that overlooks the valley I live in. My part of the woods is just a phrase we use here when talking about our part of town.

Thank you Phill. That would a huge privilege to hear your take on Johnny's Whistle. I quiet often have vivid dreams of those who are no longer here, but are dear to me at night.
My father's perant's  lived longer than him I was very close to them. My grandmother the night she died went to bed early as she wasn't feeling well.  I was visiting that night,  I sat up with my Grandpah talking , Just before I left my Nana called out to my Grandpah and asked him to bring me to bedroom and say good bye. She then orderd him to take some small glasses out of the glass cabinet and got Grandad to put a drop of sherry in each. We then did a toast and I left it was very strange thing for her to do. She died that night in her sleep. While asleep at home that  night, I woke up after having this dream that my Grandmother had come to me and told me too keep an eye on Grandpah  make sure he is ok.. When I was  told of her passing next morning I felt like I already new what had happened.

I thought I would attach a traditional New Zealand Christmas Carol Te Harinui which my Mother would sometimes sing  to us when she was younger. I love that Jazzy young Choir Mekids  put up. Also TF Jethro Tull another great song.
