There's always the official line, and a conspiracy theory. But where lies the truth? Strange times indeed. Not that you'll find too many pointers in this song, which is more about the quality of life than mere existence and survival...

Omicron

Click Bait

Been quite a week, what with job cuts and the first signs of a new crash. Something to cheer us up maybe

Four Arses Of The Apocalypse

Herewith a remix, or alternative mix of Family Business, with electric mandolin. harmonica and keys by the artist. Thanks very much for the response so far

Family Business (remix)

I don't make much money from my music. It was never about that. But I have decided to give something back with a song aimed at raising the profile, of not some cash, for Maggie's, a charity in Scotland and the UK that helps those living with cancer and the loved ones who support the, It provides a range of services but for me it has always been the place to stop the mental chatter awaiting a partner's scan, and to grab a cuppa and a chat that for me, was immensely good for my spirits. To the suite..it kind of says all that to the background of a Turkish folk beat, with myself on bottleneck electric guitar and programming. Not a Scooby what key I have put it in but the beat is 8/8 into 10/8, then 12/8 and back. Namaste...

Winter Blues

Kontiki

Babe In Armley

Enough grief in the world, time to get high. I recommend booking a microlight trip. This track began as a bit of mucking about on a cheap charity shop electric poor man's Stratocaster. Unplugged, then put through the mincer. A welcome diversion

I've Been Dying To Say Something

The M66 is a motorway, and this is a song, not so much about a motorway but the drivers who get stuck on it. And here in little ol UK, the public transport system isn't of a frequency or standard to put a brake on people's reliance on the car. And the pollution that congestion causes. It's a vicious circle going round and round in circles. Harmonica solo: Bill Hudson
