Catch Up

Hi Jan and Chordie,

Sunday here and after a busy morning out I came home and as it is the day of the week I usually meet up with Easybeat and a few others in the late afternoon between 4 and 6, I thought I better check out chordie. Me and EB always like to have a quick chat about chordie in the course of our Sunday afternoon meet ups. With a lot of things happening in my life at the moment  I haven’t looked into chordie at all for a while now. On the few times recently I have it has been like visiting a dead end street. Today when I clicked into chordie and  FSOTM I was pleasantly surprised. Chordie Street is no longer a dead end road but a street that leads into a musical highway. Good on all you champions of chordie for putting up your posts and musical contributions. Thank you Jan for coming back to chordie and connecting Chordie St to Jan Avenue which leads us to the global musical highway with your manaakitanga (caring attitude) and aroha (compassion). So rather than acknowledge each post I have just looked at now individually I hope you all on here  accept this as a thumbs up and thank you for all your contributions. Also thank you to those I connect with on here in other ways on the internet. He aha te mea nui o te ao, he tangata he tangata he tangata. The meaning of these words an old New Zealand  proverb roughly translates as What is the most important thing in the world, it is the people, the people, the people.
Thank you
Pete

I see I'm the first from the northern hemisphere to reply? So...the weather is changeable as has been my health. Ann and my daughter in law have been pushing me to do maintenance around the property, which means a lot of mixing concrete, building a new shed (a man must have a shed) painting and laying a new floor in the kitchen. So that leads me to aches and pains etc!
My brain is devoid of anything original and my fingers are stiff and painful so no guitar or piano playing. Just like Richard I have no chordians near by to chat with over beverages, hot or cold! I have a little time in the mornings to check chordie out and my emails. And an hour at night if I'm able.
I'd also like to thank Jan for the great work she's doing with FSOTM. Sorry for not joining in, I will one day I hope.

Rock on guys and gals     

Awww that was touching  Peatle, thankyou, made my day reading that  

neophytte and Phill, yep hard when there's no other Chordians near you to catch up with.  Still its nice some of you manage to email and keep in touch via other social media so at least that is something.  I remember the days when mekidsmom used to host an annual event for the Americans that could make it.  That looked like lots of fun.

Zurf I remember hearing  and seeing photo`s and video`s from mekidsmom and Topdown`s get togethers for chordie people but I didn't know you or Uncle Joe had hosted them, so that's great that a few of you held get togethers.  Would have been lots of fun.

Hi Joey, welcome back, make my sandwich a cheese, ham, tomato and crisps on thick white bread please. That's British crisps BTW salt and vinegar flavour! And a nice cold lager to wash it all down.
