FINALLY!!!!
Uploaded a couple of my songs, kindly recorded by Jacqui Wood.
THANKS JACQUI!
Recorded by Jacqui, drums on 'Life is Sweet by Allen Jarvis, check his myspace in my Friends...thanks Allen!
Guitar by Rob Thomas of the Bad Apples, cheers, Rob!
Fiddle on Devil and Angel = Tracey Smith aka Tequila also on my Friends! Thanks to the Fiddling Floozie! * * * * * * * * * * * * For those who don't know me, I am crazy about music. I love playing my piano accordion but my piano is my first love and if you want a little piano adding to music you are recording, or similar, just ask and I will add some tinklings, if possible! I am old enough, daft enough and lucky enough to have played piano/keyboards/organ and accordion for a lot of different events and a slightly ridiculous variety of occasions including blues, classical, ballads, folk, rock, barn dance, French/Peruvian/Jewish themed music etc etc at parties, concerts, gigs of 10 people to 1000. (Ooops, didn't realise how I old I was to have packed all that in!) I like new challenges. * * * * * * * * * * * * * I love playing with my two bands, Helian Keys, a piano/vocals duo, check out my Top Friends for our myspace and the Wild Wolds Women who still play occasionally, but I am always interested in other projects as it is great to meet other musicians and try different challenges. I have met and worked/played with some wonderful songwriters/musicians/vocalists etc etc and have made some brilliant musical mates. I really enjoy having the chance to share music with them. I think those who are fortunate enough to be able to play should try to give something back to others who would like to do the same. I am not interested in playing music with those whose egos are too large, just genuine lovers of live music, who wish to share their music with others. Most of all, I don't want to be too serious about music, life is too short! Keep music live! :-)
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM Yeeeesssss, I know, I should have been doing something more useful with my time :-)

And you shall have one my child. Every musician should have an aeroplane. There's just the little teeny question money to buy one. In fact its a mega question. Maybe a compromise, a kite perhaps. I told you you would get the bug. Now we are all high as a kite. O dear me!!
