[unclebobchurchill]

AWesome talent, wonderful sound !!

[suuzzee5]

Another stunning song!  You're such a brilliant songwriter!

[SiriuslyEz]

This is a great song Mel, seems these days your Muse is in overdrive. I hear flavours of Don Maclean in the fingerpickin' but the creativity is all yours. Why would you want to covers, when you can produce this kind of material. Watched a program on Bob Dylan how he would stay up all night day after day, just composing. I hope you get some sleep?

Thank you for Sharing Mel

Great job, reminds me of George Harrison. Challenging chords looks like you're making them up as you go.

[amazongift]

@eks56 It's the tuning that sets it up DADGAD....it opens a different way of playing.....Thanks a lot....Mel

[kidderminsterbro]

as a child i would see my father cure the herrings and then

happily consume them

i could not see what all the fuss was about

you would not catch me eating them as a child

now as an adult i found that flavour that my father so loves

lovely images in your song and

your guitar picking is magnificent backing up

your rich from the heart voice

peace,

rich

[amazongift]

@kidderminsterbro Thanks Rich...They were hard times for the herring girls...but they also had their fun...dont think there will be many fish left to eat the way things are going with the sea's....Cheers my friend....Mel

A quality song , Mel, which could take its place alongside many a classic, British folk song about the hard-working people from these islands of ours. Excellent lyric, pure vocal & beautiful picking. Great job, mate, clearly your travelling has inspired you :]
