Hello there Dick, i like your stuff mind. Wierd hearing your voice on non-Ginger things, wierd in a good way though. Sounds like you recorded most of these on Helmet Island, am I right?
Ello! Just been 'avin a good listen to your tracks & they are thoroughly stunning!! x Hope you are all well x Take care, Loads of love & many hugs, Sal x
Thanks much for the warm message, and for your kind comments and letting me know about your time with Allan. Also, I am so happy when people like those piano albums, (thanks again) though, interestingly, it is a common misconception that they somehow reveal in detail more of Allan's particular compositional approach since much of those sketches are really completely expanded on with fresh compositional ideas and forms. So I can't take that credit! As I recall the only actual transcribing I did was of certain top melody lines, with the exception of the piece Sixteen Men Of Tain, which actually is the only example of some of Allan's harmonic movement being used. It's always a compliment when people hear it that way though. Again thanks a lot and very best wishes. Gary

I cannot thank you enough for your kind support and friendship! Welcome to our ever growing family of friends. I'm really happy you have decided to become friends of the WAKE UP - STOP CHILD ABUSE MySpace Music page. Just by adding us to your friends you have already demonstrated that you have a good heart and are willing to take a step towards ending the hidden suffering of so many.
We also dare to hope you will be able to persuade some of your other MySpace friends to join our just fight against child abuse by adding us to their friends too. The larger our family of friends becomes, the more people we will be able to reach and educate about this terrible ‘disease’ sweeping across the world which blights the lives of more children than you may imagine. Please take a moment to read some of the statistics on child abuse highlighted on our profile and within our blogs. I am sure you will be just as shocked and appalled as we are when you find out the full extent of this scourge.
The innocent children suffering such terrible abuse need all the help they can get. Increased awareness of this foul concealed crime will help to prevent more children living through the agonising torment which I was forced to experience.
I hope you have a great day and look forward to hearing from you soon with your views and comments on this important issue,
