New Years Day 2023

A very quiet day, I was out briefly today locally. A typical grey winters day, with one or two people strolling around. I have now opened TikTok account to help publicise music. Apparently this quite useful. I have uploaded some videos and had a few views already which is surprising. Maybe I can push a bit more traffic towards my other music online. Fingers crossed.
Here’s a fine old rackety song from me.

I just read on twitter so it must be true “Alien invasion on march 23” only 8000 people will be saved. Still mustn’t grumble….

Some people have asked me why on solo projects I record I nearly always play all the instruments?
a) Because I can
b) because I could never get anyone reliable enough to work with.
So I got into the habit I guess.



Boxing Day 2023

So here we are again happy as can be, all good fun and jolly good company.
And all Ho Ho Ho. No wonder Santa’s exhausted by the time he has emptied his sack.
At his age it must be a bit of a strain. So here we are again positively somnambulant frankly in this weird everything stops post crimbo haze. All those films on the tv which are good but you have seem a thousand times or more. For a moment it all goes far too quiet. Nothing stirs except a me, and then only just about it seems.

There are some upon this earth of yours who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name; who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.

That’s all folks

Christmas Day At The Workhouse

December the 25th again. Not the greatest day due to an arthritis flare up, which somewhat wrecked the vibe and pushed my carefully laid plans asunder. But tis the season and all that I suppose?

I have no real thoughts about 2023, making any plans seems a dangerous follie at present.
At any moment the ‘The frumious Bandersnatch’ might yet appear and require shunning.
So here is a question then. How does one help someone that asks for help but then refuses it when it’s offered? Perhaps one simply repeats the offer until such time as it is accepted.

Here is a recent song from yours truly.

Today typing is hard so a brief entry only.
