Very good @PaulAds, a nostalgic blast from the past given your own special treatment. In another universe you wouldn't need the app for the crowd appreciation as it would be all authentic. Great live gig sound and arrangement.

I also like this song very much. It's a bit of a mystery to me still how some songs really pull at the heart strings with their melody, which often seem a little on the unique side, as if they are a different take on what's gone on so many times before. Sign of great songwriting I guess. The Holy Grail....

If I were an algorithm I would next play 'when love breaks down' by Prefab Sprout, similar era, similar uniqueness, again a fantastic melody.

I keep hoping to strike creative gold myself with one such similarly excellent tune. I don't think I have got there yet. But the fun of songwriting for me is that I always think that a world class classic is going to happen, I just need to keep plugin' away, ha ha!

I think I'll manage it this time. If I don't space it out at the wrong time.

Was great to see so many faces in today's meeting. Pity it had to end early. Hope to see some/most/all of you next week!

Btw... if the time isn't brilliant for any of you there's always the possiblity of other days/times. Just say in this thread.

See y'all next week.

Great catch up tonight, despite a few technical hitches meaning we lost a few meeting members  ::) really nice to meet you all in virtual person, all those that patched in.

See you again soon hopefully.

Yes, that was great! Unfortunately, my next two Fridays are taken with therapy, so I probably won't be able to make it. Although, when I get back, maybe I should log in to see if it's still going. I don't have the schedule beyond the next two weeks yet.

A few of us made it back after getting booted unexpectedly. And then the Zoom gods decided to lift the 40-minute limit, so we went on a little longer. :D

Yeah i really enjoyed putting faces and non singing voices to forum identities.

Like V I’m unable to attend next Friday but will attend thereafter.
