Listening to Vince Cable recently, and being impressed as usual by his prescience, I played ‘The way we lived then’ from the ‘Spring Again’ CD which I recorded in 1994. The last chorus strikes me as the best bit of crystal ball gazing I’ve ever written (in the middle of the last Capitalism earthquake): Yes [...]

“Wow! ‘Margarita Collection’, what an album. Fantastic, inspirational, don’t even come close. It is so diverse, imaginative, informative and wonderfully mellow, like sitting in on a personal show. I particularly liked ‘Learning the Game’, ‘Please Don’t Get On the Plane’ and ‘She Saw Him Smile’. And I thought ‘Writer of Songs’ was my all time [...]

The tunes have been going around in my head [...]
