…friends and associates ‘forcing’ their latest ‘you gotta listen to this’ selection upon me, my brain and soul developed a ravenous and receptive osmosis to song. The writers and performers were at once alien and familiar to me and I was a willing catch in their far-reaching net. The lines became crossed and blurred between being a person and being a mass collection of songs!

I write every day, sometimes all day, when time allows me. A tune, a riff, a title, a lyric. Only those beautiful people who have given up time to listen to my music and watch me perform are qualified to comment on the good or bad of my output. Music can be a beautiful solitary comfort, a special moment for two or a glorious shared communal experience. If I’ve been responsible for causing any of this to happen, even if only once, then I’m both proud and happy!

My songs are me and you are kind enough to let me share them with you. I have been blessed! Blessed by wonderful, supportive people around me, blessed by the incredible people (who happen to be beautiful people too) who have lent their talents to my songs. They have all given me the strength and encouragement to crawl from the wreckage of the earthquakes that have sometimes hit my life and helped me to stand up and express myself in the way that I know best, by writing and performing more songs.

Thank you for listening, it means a lot to me. Lx
