          It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing.  Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year.  Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…

          So I bought this TD3 when it came out, because I loved that gritty acid sound, and I fiddled about with it for a while, but then it just sat there in its box in the corner of the room, giving me the side-eye whenever I came in, and shouting at…

          Lemonade is an instrumental.  It started as an early version of a co-written song with Mary Kealy Falk.  We eventually settled on the 4th version of the project.  
I just couldn't let this version go without doing something with it.  It's the…

          Heres a story of a cold cold house

you can touch me
We can be one
