Uneasy Listening – a couple of nice reviews!
It has come to my notice that my last record has been reviewed rather kindly in a couple of places: FAME Minor 7th (a little way down the page!) You’ll notice that the first reviewer opines that I’m a better player than singer. I won’t argue with that, although some folks have written to me…

New song – Living Is Easy
It’s played on my Martin OM-18V. I have a class of song that use I as catharsis in response to certain challenges I face in life. I call this class of songs my Catharsis Song Class 🙄 . The challenge met by this particular example is the vicious circle of insomnia caused by a bum…
Bliadhna nan Caorach
Or: “The Year Of The Sheep” “But [the Scottish] hills are empty. In all of Britain only among them can one find real solitude, and if their history is known there is no satisfaction to be got from the experience.” (John Prebble.

I sound like Shrek!

More on How Well
I posted How Well at a few places to get the benefit of some objective ears and some feedback on any “issues” with the recording. It seemed be liked by most of the good folks who took the trouble to listen and respond with comments. That’s always a relief and provides a little charge of…
Po Faced & I Don’t Think So
These two have been around for a bit, now. I Don’t Think So is a new song, ie., it was written less than a year ago. Po-Faced used to exist under another name more than 30 (three-zero) years ago and has been recently revised resuscitated. Mucho changes. It (Po Faced) used to be a nasty,…
What is Uneasy Listening?
Well, it’s the working title of the new project which in time will be a CD. To call it something at this stage gives it some “personality” which may influence the content. I’ve already got a few songs earmarked for inclusion some of which are already recorded and exist on my hard drive as scratch…
