So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Oh wow,love it. I do think it's amazing seeing how different people take an idea on differently. And how we all hear it differently too. Personally, this one speaks to me more... but I do think he earned his third!

Wow! I really like this. I hear the "Wife" earning her 1/3 Royalty. You added some GREAT new lyrics and that chorus sounds fantastic.
I like the addition of the second guitar in strategic spots (need our friends).
Well done Roger!

A bit of wah lead to a song......
As the clouds start to break the suns on the run again
Keeping all that rain at bay
I’ve had enough of this damn lockdown

Summer In The Wind was written by me and recorded by the Ninja Broilers (myself and my sister). It is dedicated to our mum. A song of sad goodbyes and new beginnings.
This is one of our first "international collaborations" - so the production…
When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
