Me and Mrs Rottenhead nearly parted our ways, but we pulled through stronger than ever. Phew!
When you pull at that thread
And watch the world unfurl
Around you
Please don’t pick at that scab
Leave it well alone
Or it will never mend…
My dad, Jimmy Higgins (17.08.1937 - 05.10.1977) would have been 80 years old today, sadly he passed away at the age of 41. He was quite a guy and fitted more into his short life than i could probably fit in if i live to be 200 years old.

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…

a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…

Fathers Day on Sunday....
Thought I'd write a song for my son.
Here you go lad...

And my boy.....
You Smile so wide as the sun shines.
But you will keep your joy as the clouds try,
to stop our light…

So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...

About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....

A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
I've been fiddling around with this song for a few weeks. Just couldn't get it right. So, I decided to just create my own wall of sound and go completely over the top at the end by adding an effect, different voices and melody lines. I wanted…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
here are the words for anyone interested
this righteous bent
to twist the facts
your right to speak
and fuel the flames
oh this hankering
for the good old days
when you could call a spade a spade
and close your eyes
would you go back
use words…
In time
you'll understand
everything I did
in time
you'll understand
everywhere we've been
In time
you'll understand
Why
You are not what I want
You are not what i need
You are nothing to me

Great song. A lovely sound to it all...

this has taken on a greater meaning with the news about scottish author iain banks. my thoughts are with him and his family.
Braw, great tune!
Wonderful track, ORH, it's simple and doesn't try to be more or less than it is. Hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
