Topic: Alexander Turnbull Library And Easybeat.

Easybeats  song Memory Remains ( Wahine )  is now part of the New Zealand’s national documentary heritage collections, held in the Alexander Turnbull Library.The sinking of the Lyttelton–Wellington ferry Wahine on 10 April 1968 was New Zealand’s worst modern maritime disaster. Fifty-one people lost their lives that day, another died several weeks later and a 53rd victim died in 1990 from injuries sustained in the wreck.  Here is a link to Easybeat doing his song on soundcloud.

Re: Alexander Turnbull Library And Easybeat.

Love the guitar, very funky. If I'm correct you're singing from written words by Easybeat? The song would be improved if the story was formatted to go with the rhythm of the guitar.
I don't want to sound over critical just hope I'm helping to improve an already great song

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Phill that song  is writen by Easybeat and  also is all  his singing and playing . I am sure Eb would pleased with your constructive comment. If it was me doing the song it would be all over the place as I play and sing badly only  by feel.

Thanks for the shout-out to your buddy, Peatle ... EasyBeat has posted some real crackers over the years, and this one is exceptional.

Easybeat has been putting himself down for quite a while now but the cat is out of the bag my friend, you are a fine guitarist with a great voice.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Alexander Turnbull Library And Easybeat.

Gee many many thanks for your encouraging comments.
I have plenty of limitations,so i keep it real simple.
It scares me putting stuff out in public,but my mate Peatle is a great supporter.
I`m swamped in self doubt and usually put up a song only after a couple beers.(dutch courage)
Please don`t be afraid of making bad comments as i`m  happy to listen & learn.
thanks again EB
