Rough shod folk and songwriting from the Upper Calder Valley.
Six years is a long time to record an Album. There was even some times that I thought this might be a posthumous release... but here it is. 'Enjoy' might not be the right word to commend it to you with - but THANKS! Thanks for taking a copy off my hands...

A song about a late lunch taken with a beautiful friend.
lyrics
Courage.
Bon courage...
Bon courage
Courage
Bon courage
Courage
Courage
Courage......... Bon courage.
Do you that? Do you know that....?
...That there is no such thing I have ever seen, as a simple tear.
That there is nothing so withering to belief, as final sincerities?
Sincerely.....
Well it was such a lovely and warm April day
But it was almost too much for you to bare
Yeah the air it was so hot and still
And you could not fill your lungs. It brought on a near panic attack
A statement that you later ask me to retract.. and draught after flushing daught of water.
SO, we go slow on the zebra crossing- yes the traffic can wait
And we make our way over to the Bear cafe where you push your fork around a plate
Trying hard to entertain, interest and engage your belly then to make-more than just those bubbling sounds
And brew up a reaction of good energy.
I am here, thankfull I say and blessed with your ever irridescent presence and company..
Though in truth today! It is no more that a blushed hibakusha or some dust from Pompeii
This is before the proposed american therapy,
Where One Hundreds it will defeat you and every staircase looks like K2.
Downstairs, in the organic food shop..
You finger every saviour elixir courgette.. and you turn to me and say ''its expensive isn't it? being good, oh what encouragement could it give?''
Then you lead me, in a slow turned dance around the store
Looking, looking, with a forgetful forceful scrutiny
For something to abate the mutiny in your body..
A distraction, a path, a lock, an answer..
In a slow turned dance around the store I see.. in a gardeners hand cream, in a lotion especially designed for dry ear skin, a haunting and a wanting, in all these potions for good health.. and as you kneel down to the bottom shelf
Well I look at you and I think, My god girl you've got so small.. you are almost a foetus.
Later, when the couch had reclaimed you once again
You drew your knees both up and in..
And you beaten by an irradiating tingling.
Why?
Is there no such, thing I've ever seen, as a simple tear?
Is there nothing- so withering to belief, as final sincerity...?
Sincerely.
