…it’s about the serenity that comes from wide open landscapes as told by the acoustic guitar

Currently Playing On American Airlines
This song was inspired by the beautiful book of the same name by David Petersen and features acoustic guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. I’m very glad to learn that it has been soothing the journey of a few air travellers in the US 🙂
When The Snow Comes
We haven’t had any yet but I thought I’d share this photo from Mike Alexander of a darkly beautiful winter landscape in North Wales. Â The song is one I wrote having been out in the kind of muffled, noiseless, late afternoon light that only a snowy landscape can offer. Â It is one of my favourite compositions because it came out straight away, with no time to be influenced by anything other than the experience itself.
Sound of the Prairie?
Imagine if you will the wide open prairie with a few scattered farmsteads, maybe it would sound a bit like this? 🙂
Proud To Be Included On This Album With So Many Fine Guitarists…Out Now!
Sometimes It’s As Though Time Stands Still….

Freshly Pressed Today (Thank you!), Back To The Real World Tomorrow (Thank you!)…
It was with complete surprise, followed by a buzz of excitement to be one of the WordPress Editors picks on “Freshly Pressed” today. My song “Hope” was featured and I got a badge (those of you in the UK that remember “Blue Peter” will understand my swelling pride – hehe…)
It’s funny how this virtual world that we inhabit for chunks of our lives these days has become, to a greater or lesser extent, so much part of what we do and maybe who we are. If I’m honest I both like it and find it quite unsettling all at the same time.
Which is why I’m so grateful to be able to get away from this screen and go and deal with some very real stuff, and tomorrow is no exception. Tomorrow I travel North so that I can look at, kick about in, and discuss the future of this place and one or two others. When I get out into air like this, all the anxiety disappears.
Apparently They Play This On Delta Airlines…Hopefully It Helps…

“Old Wooden House” Goes To #11 In The Portugal iTunes Chart
It’s always so nice when this happens. I can remember clearly spending days writing, recording and re-recording this song with no thought other than really enjoying the creative process and wondering how it will turn out. And then sometime later it makes it into a chart somewhere in the world. Thank you 🙂
Oh and it’s available for download for only 0.99 $, £, E on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play etc…:)
