This is a song I’ve been working on which I put up on this page and was very touched that my old bandmate Woody Martin added some uplifting sparkles to the outro and family friend John Clayton added some discreet strings.
A singer friend Maggy Boyd noticed the similarity of the lyrics to Blue Speck written by Tony Winn and suggested I write a melody. Here’s my version.
Tony has now released his CD entitled Blue Spec. To find out more follow this link www.tonywinn.org.uk/blue-spec/
This following song Lonely Station has rather different history. It appeared first on a CD entitled Loch Ness made in colaboration with guitarist Giorgio Serci feauturing our original composotions. The album, released in 2002 is now on Youtube and Lonely Station can be heard via this link.
A couple of years later some words started settling on the melody and, now, a decade later, I have sung them.
I love the Loch Ness album and perhaps some words will start to settle on some of the other tunes.
The third song I sang at the recording session is Between the Trees. It really about the summer breeze but that is already the title of another song it has inspired which you may know. The breeze wanders near and far…..
The last three songs were recorded in Bethnall Greeen with engineer Greg Dowling at elsdenmusic.com
