When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

Special thanks to SilverBella for her a cappella....

SUPERSPREADER.   feat SilverBella

This song was partially inspired by a book I read by James Salter called A Sport and Pastime. I enjoyed it but would not say I LOVED it.

My music composition work and writing is often very "in the moment". It captures my fleeting moods and/or fragments of things percolating through my world and mind at the very moment of writing. This song is indeed a perfect example of that pattern. 

Crumble Like Sand
By David Husted

Try to portray 
a modicum of restraint
Draw the line 
and then abandon it

Sketch an outline of privilege, smells like
Tobacco, sweat and perfume
Penetrate with slow designs
Bitter whiffs of soured minds

Clarify the latitude
Describe the amount of elbow room
Tastes sweet as fruit 
Moored against the moon

Can gold remove the mortal hour?
Brushed against vanities power 
Opportunity smeared 
Against the clean and bared. 

And I am hoping you  can  open MY EYES
In life can love be bought with gold?
Dark fragrance of free  
I fall to my knees, breathe    

little bit of leeway in the design
Indulge the stroke let color's bind
I feel you

To Express the un-expressible (just throw it out)
Expose, the tender flesh of truth (to owe your time)
My throat is hoarse, scraped from screaming  (come sow your doubts)

Woe

“Oui"
“that’s the best right there” 
Downs us both
crumble like sand

“Oui "
“that’s the best right there” 
Downs us both
crumble like sand

Crumble Like Sand

Lyrics:
Hey there, laid bare, I see you
I see you
Hey there, silently aware, I hear you
I hear you 

Like light from a star 
You have come so far to get here
You are visible

Hey you, getting through the wilderness 
I feel you
You don’t have to be invincible

Take another breath
Tiny step by tiny step, tomorrow will come
Tomorrow will come


Like light from a star you have come so far 
To be here now
You are visible


Like light from a star 
You are visible

Visible (*thommo* and Sarah Golding)

Elderly old men in the nursing home having teenage styled crushes on the nursing staff.
From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Makes this old man think about his younger times

I hear that cart coming down the hallway
With those pills 
All lined up in a row
I see you moving to that Top 40 song
And where she takes me
You know I want to go

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man dream about his Summertime

You wheel me to my physical rehabilitation
You make me feel exhilaration
The Doctors say:
"You need to keep your blood pressure down"
Down! Down! Down!
I hear that cart rolling down the hall
I see her moving and grooving
To a Top 40 song
When I see her my heart sings along
"wherever you take me, you know I want to go"

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man think about his younger times
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!

Nurse Felicia

Stay Within The Lines

'Turn The Page Please' is a Jazz Fusion/Rock track and features Tony Conway on guitar (solo).
It's always a pleasure to have Tony join me and no exception here, as he takes another excellent solo.
