You make perfect sense my friend as always. I guess I was being slightly ingenuous with the description, since Tutu's words actually are a call to arms! I spent about 6 months working with Palestinians on the West Bank in the early 90's, on a date plantation and picking flowers among other things. And I think my kiwi sense of equality, egalitarianism and support of the underdog meant I had a lot of sympathy for the Palestinians. They are a warm and very hospitable people. But what future is there for them under the current regime? People talk of the two state solution but Israel has effectively sabotaged any hope of that with their illegal settlements in the West Bank. Anyway, I could go on. Cheers Zoot.

Yeah, I despair at the silliness, tribalism and stupidity of humans sometimes. When are going to grow up??

Yes, highly addictive those frogs. Cheers brother.

##### times gone by, thanks mate.

Hi Micky, thanks a lot for listening. Yes, I do actually wonder quite often if environment/landscape influences music. I would say creativity in general does though, for sure. Cheers Chris

Thanks Baobou, I was pleased with the drums too. I looked up Black Peter - yes, one of those cultural things (like golliwogs I guess) that were acceptable at one point in time, but less so now days. Cheers from Down Under.

Much appreciated Bilbozo, glad you enjoyed. Late response sorry, it's been crazy here at work, so time just went by. No time for listening, and not much for creating. Zoot.

Very successfully!!

Ah you're too kind as usual but still your insights are on the money. Though the the SciFi reference in the lyrics was more William Gibsons Neuromancer (one of my all time favourite books) than Bladerunner. Similar vibe tho. As for the swamp guitar, that was me getting angry at my lack of chops on that instrument and inability to get a decent solo down. So I used that frustration anyway, kind of an anti-solo solo lol. Och aye .

Thanks BB. Fun to experiment...

Hi Wayne, thanks for the listen. Sorry late reply, got busy away from home and hearth and time just slipped away...

Kia Ora, that's pretty funny, you are the pheasant Plucker. Cheers for the listen and comment.

that's a really nice comment, thanks a lot. And thanks for taking the time to listen to another track. I know I'm pretty amateur with this music thing, but it is so enjoyable to create and be creative. If I'm pleased with the result that's what matters most, but if someone else genuinely likes it too, all the better!! Cheers Zoot.

Yo CCC, you got it man. I thought the title fit the feel pretty good. In my bad old days, we used to play a drinking game using Pheasant Plucker, you can probably imagine what mistakes it translates to after a few rounds. Anyway, thanks for the listen, fav and download.

Hey Mosaic, sorry for the late response to your kind comment. I hid this track then forgot all about replying. Yep that's me on vocals, for my sins. All the best, Zoot.

that's funny! My daughter the other day in the car, started randomly singing the words on her little toy fluffy dog. Stuff like - polyester, do not dry clean, hand wash, made in china....It sounded great I wanted to use it for something lol

Late reply, sorry! thanks for the listen and comment, much appreciated.

##### I'm only just getting started lol. Apart from the cymbals the beat was two loops smushed together. I liked the syncopation and that snare hit on the second beat every couple of bars sounded good to me. Made it kind of lollop along. Let's see what your google translator makes of some of those words!!

Hey Paul, better late than never, my reply. Slipped under the radar somehow. Cheers bro.

Hey man, thanks for the listen etc. Glad to hear, coz I struggled with the structure. Felt like it needed another section ie. chorus or variation but I just couldn't work one out. So maybe it just drifts a bit but never mind. Cheers Chris

Cheers bro, thanks for listening and commenting. That's what keeps this place alive!

Yeah I need to learn that sometimes it's best just to put stuff aside and work on something else for a while. Come back with fresh ears. I'm starting to do that. Vox FX was guitar rig. It has a great effects bank even if you don't really want to use an amp Sim.

You're too kind my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed your latest. Thanks as always.

Thankyou Shaman, I will catch up with your latest as soon as I can. Cheers Zoot.

Greetings Seelengold, thanks for listening and commenting. Cheers Zoot.
