"Rose Among The Thorns" was inspired by the sudden loss of a friend whom I never got to say good-bye to. It brought up thoughts and feelings of living alone during lockdown and wondering, if I should disappear, would anyone notice? My friend was very dear to me, and was most certainly a 'Rose among Thorns'. RIP Kevan.

Rose Among The Thorns

"Back To The Start" is a song about those kinds of friendships where one person wants and takes more than the other has to give.

Back To The Start

An impromptu and unrehearsed tune happened today... I nicknamed it "Rain". A well known tune but we made it our own...

Rain

At my last jam session at "Live at Greg's House" I went home with this little "riff" in my head, heart and ears. Today I played it to the guys and WOW - they turned it into a full on tune - pro style. I have never been so proud of playing four little strings on the guitar.

"Back And Forth" - an original - 2018 Jam Session

A song I wrote and recorded while on a songwriters course with Cape Town School of Songwriters. A memory from my time in the Okavango Delta many moons ago. Enjoy.
