Patrick - is this to be sung, while already a good few Guinnesses down - to fiddle and mandolin accompanyment?
@ Timdog - This week is my first serious attempt at poetry and I have actually written several. The funny thing about is that I actually always here music when I am composing and its my own music rather than somebody else’s stuff. I suppose I am more of a lyricist than a beat poet. Should have paid better attention in primary school when they taught us to read & write music because I cannot remember a damn thing. As far as drinking Guiness your always welcome to pal around with me on my next visit to Jakarta and we can pub crawl & drink the black stuff all night long if your up to it?
Hell, yeah. I’ll bring my guitar - and maybe we can get Achmad to show up with his ukulele and we’ll work out a tune for those words (which genuinely would make decent lyrics)…
