The 30th. May is World MS Day (#MyInvisibleMS) 

My wife Joanne has always told me that I’m her superman – possibly my own fault for wearing my underpants on the outside, but then I’m nothing if not a slave to fashion- so it was a real shock when, a number of years ago, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

At the time, only Jo and myself knew, and I managed to explain away any walking and balance problems as the effects of past football injuries, something which only worked until it became blindingly obvious to everyone that something more serious was amiss. 

Recent years have brought some fairly dramatic physical changes.  Walking requires a walking frame, my arms and hands aren’t as nimble as they once were, but maybe the worst effect is something called Trigeminal Neuralgia (a facial nerve problem), which at it’s worst is, not to put too fine a point on it, bloody agony.

There’s good and bad days though and, on the good ones, I can still play my guitar and write the odd song, so the situation could be appreciably worse.  Having the best wife and the best kids in the world makes all the difference and, even with my glasses on, they still tell me I’m their Superman.  All things considered, I’ll take that…   (Terry Reeves)

 
Hans is a Superman himself, eventually producing 4 brilliant versions of this song, which made choosing just one to include here a nigh-on impossible task.  If you want to make your own judgment on that, we’ve posted an EP of all of them, plus Tel’s original demo, on Bandcamp.  If you’d like a free copy, just follow this link, (https://crippleclub.bandcamp.com/releases), enter £0.00 in the payment box and Bob’s your uncle - just a small way of saying thanks to all for all your support over the years.  Thanks so much for listening.   (Gary Reeves)

Lyrics:
I used to be your Superman 
I was the man who solved it all
Someone found some kryptonite
And hid it in the wall

The strength has left the body
The brain has lost its blade
I can no longer take off my glasses
To complete the masquerade

I have no plan
To send a telegram.              
Fight Jackie Chan
Or Jean - Claude Van Damme       
There's no diagram
To help Joanne
I know who l am
No longer Superman

You said I had the strength of many
And the look of Georgie Best
I was as funny as Tony Hancock
But now I have MS on my vest

I try to keep on flying
I respond with every cell
But the telephone box is much too small
To take my walking frame as well

I have no plan
To send a telegram 
Fight Jackie Chan
Or Jean-Claude Van Damme
There’s no diagram 
To help Joanne
I know who I am
No longer Superman 

I blame it on Lex Luther
I even rang Alexander Graham Bell
No one else seems to have a theory
That explains this dilution spell

Before I lose my full control
I want the world to know
The bulging muscles I used to have
No longer come and go

I have no plan
To send a telegram.              
Fight Jackie Chan
Or Jean - Claude Van Damme
There's no diagram
To help Joanne
I know who l am
No longer Superman...................................................

Lyrics:

Meet Me In Denmark by Daniels & Durgy

If you ever feel tired and lonely
And your soul searches for a heavenly home
Board a fast train … to one destination
And I’ll be there waiting with a flower in my hand

Chorus:
So promise you’ll meet me for Christmas in Denmark
Sit by Yule Fire and share a coffee or two
And live like the Danes do…learn the meaning of Hygge
And see the true wonders of this beautiful land

Verse 2
I know you’re hurting, your spirit is aching
Your soul is anchored, to where you are tied
Isn’t it time to .. leave the sorrows behind you         
Come share this Yuletide, with me by your side

Chorus:
So promise you’ll meet me for Christmas in Denmark
Stroll Tivoli Gardens, hear the Saint Alban’s Choir
And Kiss me my Darling, as the Northern Lights shimmer
And share in the soft glow of a warm winters fire
And share in the soft glow of a warm winters fire

Good person, good friend, goodbye (Poetry & spoken word: Wes Parham) NEW ALBUM out on Bandcamp.

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
