  Thanks so much Brian, yes the 75 year old ex coal mining poet is prolific in writing wonderful poems that he allows me to convert to song. ( mainly about coal mining and northern England life and growing up through WWII. I have a battered old parlour guitar that Shane Wagstaff converted to a baritone ukulele for me. Added a little bit of bass from the iPad GarageBand app. Em, B7, and Am are the only 3 chords that ‘came to me’ as I put it together. Appreciate your comments mate. It’s a raw story that we mustn’t forget. Cheers.

  Man, you got somethin’ there Sammy, real talk!! I’m sure the author would be quite honored by your composition, for sure! What instruments were used on the recording? I had to hit the refresh button to have another listen :)
