A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

Set Me Down That Road - Continental Collision - Now Available on Bandcamp

December 1926: high jinks at the Harrogate Hydro.  A mysterious guest has upstaged the palm court players.  How can they make her leave?

Hiding in Plain Sight 

My name’s Tappin the Banjo and – along with Fiddler Fred
We’re the finest palm court entertainers - Finzi might have said
And while we talk of Mr Baldwin ending martial law
But as we walk, we’re thinking of events the night before

With a sip of courage from my flask
I’m not afraid to ask
Is that the lady from the lake?
Is that the girl who’s gotten more than she can take?
Dropped-waist Chanel chemise
Alpina coat above the knees
Is that the lady from the lake?
 
Sporting rolled-down Berkshire stockings and cross-strapped Perugia heels
We’ve been completely upstaged by the Cape Town Flapper Mrs Neale
The way she like to dance the Texas Tommy through the night
As if her psychogenic trance is hiding in plain sight

We must do what Sir Arthur’s spirits could not believe
What boy scouts and bloodhounds could not achieve
And find a way for our slender guest – to leave!

Eton crop under cloche hat
Coty cupids from The Kit Cat

Her scent is Apres Londee
She speaks in mangled Franglais

There she stands cue in hand
Sings Red Robin with the band

Hiding In Plain Sight

A little rant on what is happening to humanity these days. IMHO. 
Opted for a raw sort of sound for this one.

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Lots of friends on social media,  noone’s talking noone’s listening
Why is it more people,  feel alone and dejected
Common sense not so common,  talking about decency
Where’s the courage and resolve,  to stand up for what’s right

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Respect and kindness,  should come naturally
Instead self serving, lies and egos,  drive daily life
Leaders with no shame, no heart,  no sense of compassion
Oblivious to world needs,  and the plight of humanity
 
Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Don’t give in to fear,  intimidation and complacency
Rise up, be good and just,  to everyone you meet
Race, color and culture,  shouldn’t drive hate and violence
Time on earth is brief,  wake up for humanity

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Whatever Happened

Experimental, built on limitations and tricks, forward motion and no way back. 1st 3 years gained airplay on JJJ and RN under 3 other names, a mention of 23krecords, and a moment on ABC TV. In '02 silenced by mental illness, later my father's death, followed by 3yrs of nothingness. A move north. Restarted on a 16trk under SPiNFiX. Studied music industry business twice. Quit drugs 28/12/08. 1st 6months of '09 living in a psyche-ward, a detox and med' overhaul for my mental health. Since '11, been designing and operating sound & lights for a live theatre, in '16 I became their tech manager. '18 I released a spoken word album 'intangible brightness'.
