Musical Story:The Palest of Blue
This is my side project. My father suggested I place music behind my stories. It is a very basic recordings. The music is from my Call it Love album – Shadow Lover is the name of the track. I messed with it a bit

Cherry Blossom Beautiful
I was toying with the idea of death signalling not an end but a rebirth of sorts. This is why there’s a phoenix tattooed on my right arm, pain is transformed into something beautiful with music. This song has been fermenting for a while, or some of the words at least. Tonight, I sat down […]
Bad Singing
Things get very dodge when I write music. Especially when I am bored. Two chords, bad playing, recorded on my phone. This song won’t go anywhere. Usually what happens after this feeling is I leave, visit Gilda and then come back and write some decent music. That’s my process. Don’t judge…or as we say in […]
Hotel California
A small warning to anyone who reads my blog posts. I will speak of music, love, metaphysical mumbo jumbo and Ben Harper. And on that note…hello wherever you are. I hope you slept well and had great dreams. A small conversation caused me to take a careful look at the beliefs that defined my life. […]
Zombies in Dreamland?
I pay attention to where I go to at night when I close my eyes. It has always been this way. At times when I dream I get to hang out with people I have not seen in ages. It does feel like I literally just popped in for a visit. Or I spend ntime […]
Where’s The Bucket?
I wanna do the following, in no particular order. This is all I can think of for today. No serious career or relationship stuff is in here. I hope no friends of mine or my daughter reads this as it will mess up my plans! I wanna… Be involved in a car chase. Make a […]
Undone By London
I enjoy writing and sometimes wish it came with the same ease music does. I write for clarity and sing for release. After I stepped out of a hot bath where I completed reading a book (my favorite activity), I recalled something I wrote many years ago. A slave novel. It started out as a […]
Sugar Man
When I am home two things happen without fail. I sleep….long and very deep. And I cry. I noticed that on my last two stints back the energy I carried was so heavy I ended up in bed for days. It all made sense after Gilda shared a dream she had of me. I was […]
Walking In The Rain
All it took was a two hour drive with one friend to clear my foggy head. That, many ciggies and some fast food. Boom! I have all the clarity I need. While driving around in Cape Town, he reminded me of a few things I forgot. Granted I am very intuitive and my dreams give […]
The Peep Show
I am singing in three days time. I called the performance The Peep Show, as I am giving people a sneak preview of new songs written. Of course the phrase ‘peep show’ conjures up all sorts of naughty deliciousness, doesn’t it? My best friend says it will be a good show as it’s his birthday […]
