Music: Do I Really Have To Say The Words
Lionel Bastos wrote this song. As far as I am concerned….this is the closest I came to saying those words in song. This song is on my Call It Love album. I sang it once only.
This is How Love in Music Feels…
Writing music about romantic love never sounds like romantic love. Meaning, it doesn’t really sound….happy. Usually, deep nostalgia, sadness even, if your ears are not discerning. As though I left a small piece of myself with that one person and the music written is the final acceptance that it is so. Yeah, sounds very dramatic […]
Alzheimer’s…can break your heart
This disease, seeing someone you love disappear…can break your heart… wide open. Seeing anyone you suffer does. This made me cry… I am proud to be the the ambassador of The Living Cornerstone Alzheimer’s (TLC) Homes. Understanding how the elderly suffer, helped heal my very troubled relationship with my father. Once I understood that he […]
Islands of Safety
‘How do people do it my dude?’ I asked my sister. ‘How can they have conversations about socks and shopping and cooking all the time!..?’ My sister paused while looking at me with the required amount of suspicion. ‘Ah, you haven’t been with someone in a long time so you forgot…’ It just seems like […]

Personally, nothing makes me happier than seeing someone finally take that step and do the one thing they were either scared to do or make the change that could see […]
Why Cant We Be Friends?
I love uncovering other people’s secrets, or understanding that one thing that makes them tick. People do share with me. I take the time to listen because I know how important it is to be seen and heard. My friend popped by for a visit and said jokingly, ‘You should be a Lockdown coach. You know how […]
Song Of The Week: Skunk Anansie!
I love watching Skin perform. Oh the rage on her! It is something to behold. It really does make me want to write some angry music! Their last album, Anarchytecture, is brilliant by the way!!
Let’s Not Be Greedy…
If we could have every little thing our heart desires delivered to us on a plate, would we really be happy? The kid in me says hellyeah! But the adult who survived 2020 says…uhmm…perhaps not. I don’t think the noise brought to our doors by the law of attraction is gonna leave us soon. So […]
