  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are you currently listening to?

I'm like the Tedeschi Trucks Band at the moment. I was already a fan of Derek Trucks for his guitar playing as a guitarist myself but since he has got together with Susan Tedeschi (well their actually married) they make beautiful music together. Especially like Dereks slide guitar, he make it sing.

I was having a discussion in another thread and someone said "let it be" and I thought of the beatles song and had a listen and was reminded of why they are such a classic band. Its interesting that they would sing such a song about Mother Mary, its very Catholic.

But I think it also reflects a time when even the most popular group in the world at that time could sing about religion and belief. Even if Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus Christ which was just an observation. But still it seemed a big issue for the public and reflecting where they were at in regards to belief in God.

But still regardless of the politics its just a classic song. What I like is that its a simple song with a simple melody but its built up into almost an anthem. I like Billy Prestons church style organ playing and if you notice even George Martin the Beatles manager gets in on the song with the shaker.

Just in relation to the Beatles another group I have been listening to for a while now is the Hindley Street Country Club. A cover band who were one of the many bands and musicians who developed online following during Covid. Their popularity grew beyond Covid because they were able to replicate origin songs and add their own flair.

They have even had some of the original artists rave about their covers being better than the originals. Anyway I wanted to play their cover of My Sweet Lord by Beatle George Harrison. Got to listen to it in stereo.


PS this one came up afterwards which is another Harrison song 'While my guitar gently weeps' but this time Ian Moss from Cold Chisel sings lead with HSCC. Here Moss really gets down to it.
