That One count

A track from the 'Algrecko" albume I did with Greg Georgiades

Going Places

Recorded on the lawns and in the rooms of our accommodation in the Seychelles. I just pulled in what ever musician was around and added the lovely voice of Leigh Rath, wilt Greg Georgiades-   Guitar, Ashish Josi-Tablas, Gert Wolmerhans -Sax and the rest was up to me    

Always Summer Time

“There is just something about traveling the open road. The rhythmic sound of the wheels dancing with distance, and the wind whispers the untold stories of travelers throughout the ages. In my mind I have conversations about opinions, mistakes and dreams, as memories come and go. And I am chasing the silence beyond the horizons where a calm sense of freedom takes control of my soul. 
This is the album and story of my journey through Namibia in search of music and inspiration.”
