G'day all,

I am a little excited. One of my poems has been put to music and posted on youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvSney3lLD0)
I was approached at the National FF by the singer, for permission. It is very long... but that is the poem .. and he sings it word for word. I don't know how others feel about this type of thing but I am delighted. While it may not make the top 40 (if there is still such a thing) but it is one less thing in my 'bucket'.

nicely done too Zondrae - now will it go viral??

Pass it around folks

Cheers

Maureen

I had a listen Zondrae. It would be interesting for you to hear how someone else interprets your verse into song.

The singer seems to have quite a collection of song performances I wonder what he intends to do with them.

An old workmate of mine wrote the words to a hit song, he used to collect royalties each time it was publicly broadcast.

Wow! Zondrae,

That always was a great Poem and now it's fantastic song.

It may be long, but it keeps you entranced right to the end.

So Congratulations.

Terry

congratulations Zondrae, you should be pleased.

Good onya Zondrae! a good poem done justice by the singer. I was interested to see that he was able to retain the original words and adapt a tune to fit it.
A few years ago a couple of poems that I was asked to write were put to music for a CD to celebrate an anniversary of the Afghan existence in the centre, the one I liked best was put to music by Warren H Williams, (of the John Williamson Warren H Williams duo) Sadly he altered the lyrics quite considerably to make them fit his tune.......I am still waiting for the royalties!...
