My wife Jo and I met at work, having applied for the same job and as luck would have it, we were both offered positions in the personnel department.  I was instantly attracted to her and though there was an eight year difference in age, we seemed to have a true likeness of mind, the only problem being that the two of us were in long-term relationships.  Still, this didn’t mean we couldn’t be friends and we began to spend many a happy lunch hour together. 

However, the more I got to know her, the more it became readily apparent that my feelings were much more than mere friendship.  What made every working day worthwhile were those lunch hours we’d spend together.  I simply couldn’t stop thinking about her but given our circumstances, I kept these feelings bottled up for two long years.  Eventually though, I decided to gather my courage in both hands and tell her I loved her.  To be honest, I expected to get a negative response but all she said was “We need to talk”.

We talked and talked and talked and talked about every potential eventuality but nothing ever changed the fact that I really did love her.  Despite the fact that she’d never considered the possibility of us being together, it was such a relief when she told me she was very willing to totally change the course of her life.  Talk about your heart skipping a beat…

OK, so it didn’t prove easy but neither of us has ever regretted one single thing.  Thirty five years on, we are still very much in love and this song celebrates those wonderful lunchtime meetings, sharing more and more of our feelings, growing ever close through a friendship that became a bond as close as any couple could wish to have.  We hadn’t a clue where it would go and yet here we both are.  I still cannot stop loving her.

I owe a debt of thanks to Hans and Gal who pulled out all the stops to get this song ready for Jo’s 58th birthday.  Cheers boys! (Terry Reeves)

A friendship without complications
Conversations with no need to end
No conditions between sharing moments 
Chance to smile avoid thoughts to send

Chorus:
I cannot stop, cannot stop, I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop loving the way you move
I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop hearing your loving groove 

Space between survives the madness 
Surrounding words no sense to see
Sharing stories sometimes sadness
Not knowing why we should let it be

Chorus

Surprise connection with a distance
No disagreement but avoid a close look
Cautions grow, can’t change persistence 
The fairytale of perfect stays in the book

Chorus

Conversando

"Don’t Want to Be Your Gogo" tells the playful yet soulful story of a mature man being seduced by a young woman (of age). Mixing funk, jazz, soul and alternative vibes, this track brings groovy basslines, sharp guitar licks and jazzy harmonies with a storytelling edge
« Don’t Want to Be Your Gogo » raconte l’histoire à la fois espiègle et pleine d’âme d’un homme mûr dragué par une jeune femme (majeure bien sûr). Entre funk, jazz, soul et touches alternatives, le morceau mêle lignes de basse groovy, riffs de guitare funky et harmonies jazzy dans un esprit narratif.

NOT THE ONLY ONE
[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

[Verse 1]
‘Cuz deep down I know, if I’m feelin’ it
You’re feelin’ the walls closing in, too
Oh, and I wonder how you’re dealin’ with it
Discerning the falsities from the true

[Verse 2]
Now, I see your broken face up on my screen
From my living room and my heart hurts
Seems in America there’s little grass that’s green
And I hate to think it’s just deserts

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh

[Verse 3]
And it’s hard to say which one of ‘em is worst
The puppets or those pulling the strings
All I know is that this country is cursed
For the greed of men and shiny things

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad-sad-sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh

[Verse 4]
And when I’m feeling I was born too late
As if those who came before us had it better
If we could travel to an earlier state
We’d find ourselves one bird of a feather

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad, sad just the same
Just the same…Oh, I’m sad-sad-sad just same

I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody is suffering
Tired of playin’ the game..

Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh

I hate the way that I am

This song was composed for piano by Hitoshi Yasui, chairhouse of Tokyo, who was generous in allowing me to arrange and record it for guitars. It is a song from his "Piano Ten Thousand Leaves" project. His mission “is to create gentle, calm, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing piano music and share it with all human beings." He writes, records and posts one beautiful piano composition each day. This song is number 1990 from May 27, 2019. 

Thanks to Hitoshi for his daily musical watercolors and thanks for allowing me to adapt this. The original piano version by chairhouse can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/if-she-talked-to-him-one-more-time-1990-by-chair-house-05272019

In the late 1940’s in the Fulham\Hammersmith area there used to be a club that would raise money for people with disabilities. The club itself would have various activities which a large number involved live music. The name itself was created by the local people who used the club as there main place of entertainment. When my mother in law told me all about it the club and its name I was sold. It seemed to suit me and my brother for so many reasons.
