I won the Karaoke contest on the cruise ship Horizon on the Mediterranean in 2019 and was chosen to play on the Captains Ball so I did not want to use a back track and they borrowed me a 5 string Fender Stratt with no belt do I took of my belt and punched a 2 holes in it and got a hard Overdrive Fuzz from the sound desk and played my own version of Tina Turners Proud Mary and the 2 500 audience went nuts. What a night !!!!

Proud Mary cover on the Mediterranean cruise ship Horizon

I was playing in Johannesburg in 1979 in Hillbrow and I used to park my car in a park and the was this homeless man that slept on the bench under newspaper that always greeted me but never begged.
it was winter and it became very cold and the man became ill and could hardly talk he coughed so much.
That night I stopped put my guitar down and gave him R5 which was a lot for 1979. I said go buy yourself a papsak (5l bag of wine with a tap) When I finished my gig at 2 pm I found him frozen still clutching the wine but on his face a smile. This song is in Afrikaans as he spoke to me in Afrikaans. He is still in my thoughts and he will be in yours. Blou Trein is methhylated spirits that homeless people drink pouring it thru white bread to make it clear but its deadly still. Hence the words . Blou Trein to hell.

Maybe deals with the relationship side of life.

I do this song on guitar but this was a special song for Stellie on her birthday 
The words differ from my original song as I have the crazy ability to chance lyrics as I play to suit the audience or the situation

This song was inspired by by myself very nearly dying from a destructive way of living on the Pro Music circuit in South Africa back in the 80's
Too much alcohol, too much smoking, too much eating Junk Food 3 am or later, no sleep, party party party. One early morning my system mshut down and I ended up in Emergency. My best friend who wants to stay ananymous took me there and helped me turn myself around. Doctor told me, I was pronounced dead on the table bit my friend created such a scene inn the ER. If it wasnt for him , he helped me Back thru the Gaes of Hell

Thru The Gates Of Hell

We all know the feeling, we all been there, many of us are still there.
I was there many times and I still go there no matter how In try.
Its life and I except it as such and just battle thu it.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE .............. WE ARE ALL ALONE IN THE NIGHT

Alone In The Night
