He loves to change his autobiographical rhetoric from the third to the first person when I feel like it.
The songs demoed on this page include "Suenos de Pimyo" that's Spanish for Dreams of Pimyo. It's a hazy instrumental piece written in a chilled out mood with a glass of rioja in one hand and a nubile senorita in the other." The second song up couldn't be more different; "I Could've", a tense prayer from a father to an aborted child. No.3 "Les Dauphines", an instrumental written as a signing-off piece for my old rockabilly band, The Dauphines. The fourth song, recorded live at the Wurzel Bush Folk Club in Brinklow is "The Ballad of Good Old Ted", the story of a pensioner who was convicted for shooting a burglar. "Rusty Bridge" is the fifth demo here; I watched an old metal footbridge being renovated a little too late and thought of analogies with people and the whole bridges idea of maintaining friendships. No.6 is "Nine-o-clock Comes", played in DADGAD and discussing colonialism in a has-been society. The "Pimyo Carol" is seventh up. You can do a Viennese Waltz to this! If I ever get it finished, I'll have it released and played at Christmas lights switch-ons. Number eight, "Better Than This" is a true story but written in the style of Flight of the Conchords, using a cod hip-hop beat to support some stuff that was happening one day, back east.

appeal, Pimyo quietly goes about the business of making self-indulgent noises with the sole aim of self amusement and gratification. Occasionally inspired to write something that gets his goat but never protest singing in the traditional sense from a particular political stance. (I'm sure that socialism has many worthy aspects) But Pimyo's songs are politically much closer to home: selfishness, narcissism, dreams, food, sex, alcohol, stone circles, morris dancing.

As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
How ya doin' Terry. Bin a while since we bashed heads. :) Well overdue. Avin a psychedelic Jam soon and we is looking for someone to play the guitar. Fancy it?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

He He. No worries Terry. I'm just a sad lad who enjoys his pop too much and lets face it, the evening (day) was for Nigel and I know he would have approved of the music. Oh and don't forget to leave a slot open for Youzabooza next year. I'll start working on 'Makin Plans For Nigel' Youzabooza style toot sweet. See ya!
Howz it hangin' Mista T? Just downloaded one of your tracks 'cos I'm right out of inspiration myself, at the mo' but, in a perfect mood to grind someone elses hard work through the Youzabooza Groover Machine. So I've just downloaded one of your tracks. Achtung!
