Wrote this on visiting this city for the first time one cold winter with tales of Jack the Ripper in my head. I'm supremely delighted to have the Lonesome D String Band making his awesome contribution to it. Thank you, Dan Greenwood - such a joy working with you. I have the deepest respect for your incredible musicianship: https://soundcloud.com/lonesomedstringband https://soundcloud.com/lonesomed...

This little song is about staying strong and true as we get older. I decided to keep it rough and bare. Bless This Heart (Brian Peters) I've been travelling a while Wearing out these miles Portioning my days In that circle of time I've been holding fast Unrolling the past And I'm doing fine Bless this heart of mine The bright new man, the dunce, I do not fear The blazing sun, the bone-beak missile...

This is a low-key return to the Cloud. The most traumatic experience I've had to endure is the separation from my family. Despite the pain and hurt, I have tried to bear it with dignity, respect and good grace. I wrote many songs about it - two are still on my cloud: 'If Love...', and 'Open Heart'. 'The Space Between Us' is another attempt to come to terms with the situation. The Space Between Us...

I really love it when things come together quickly. Daniel contacted me two weeks ago, and suggested a collaboration. This song immediately came to me, and I sent him a recording a few days later. He then added his magical instrumentation and backing vocals. I am so grateful to him for his wonderful talent and input on this. Thank you, Daniel! https://soundcloud.com/user-276716031 I also asked my...

...wrote this 10 days ago after listening to some of Steve's songs...initially intended it as a kind of homage to the great songwriter, but the song took its own course. I contacted Steve (https://soundcloud.com/spanishlies) the next day to find he'd just returned from the hospital. So glad you're well, Steve, and hope you like this little musical offering. Your music inspires me...thank you! Anot...

During Apartheid-era South Africa it was quite common for the regime to use the death penalty as a way of eliminating or scaring off opposition. That history has largely turned me against capital punishment. This is dedicated to those prisoners-of-conscience who made the ultimate sacrifice! vid link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCxWnkrqlxI&feature=youtu.be Death Row (Brian Peters) See yourself...

I've been meaning to collaborate with Sandy for a while now. She has the warmest, most sincere and honest voice on SC. I'm so glad the time has finally arrived. We tried one or two things, but they weren't working out. I decided to write something specially for her, and this is the result. Through this time we got to know each better, and shared our experiences with each other. I am so grateful to...
