Jumping The Stream

This song was written about the childlike thrill I always get when I have to cross a stream, whether it be a short hop over the narrows, or when it’s one of those when you have to take a running jump, never quite knowing if you’ve got enough lift to reach the far bank…I’m sure you know what I mean 🙂

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress In Brief…
A very brief rendition of a classic and beautiful song with my interpretation on it for a Saturday night 🙂
Drift Away…
I loved writing and recording this song from my album “Heading West” because of the instrumentation I used to convey it’s spirit.  To describe it I couldn’t do any better than music reviewer Kathy Parsons who did me the honour of reviewing the album in 2013…
“Drift” is a rapturous slow dance with a gentle sway. Piano, guitar, and light percussion elicit sighs of contentment”.

I probably shouldn’t do this but I’m excited about writing and recording new songs for my next album, so I wanted to preview just one of them, a simple song called “You Know Me”. Â Hope you like it…
Today’s Storm Walk
On the West Wales coast. Â Squally, stormy, bright sunshine one moment, dark ominous clouds and hail the next, but always very, very windy…

I’m particularly pleased because this album was quite a challenge for me to write and to record. Â I had to teach myself how to play the piano and double bass parts of the songs, and this was a brilliant experience. Â So recognition like this is very rewarding. Â Grateful thanks to Michael and Jamey.
