wine, women and song, usually in that order....all acoustic roots type stuff, quality of all and any kind excepting in grammar and spelling, string bands, old time, new time, good time, bad time and bad times, singing and/or complaining/therapy to music, constant sorrow, mischief, applause, music and the joy of giving .... living life to the half empty ....

Video footage
here is some footage of "love is a rose" made with jason
four guys who at one time or another worked in the same bar - the legendary "sidewinder" in brighton UK;
came together over heartache and wine to create what's been described as "gorgeous folk/alt-country pop - equal parts darkness and cheeky humour" and "a unique mix of swamp-folk and alt country blues"
one guy left to drink and follow a woman, two more sorrowful drunk guys joined, and then a third to make six, between them having 36 strings - that's a lot of strings
"a great lazy country sound straight out of the Ozark mountains after a couple of jugs of moonshine" said one reviewer after the couple of jugs of moonshine they gave him, whilst one lady admitted "could inspire the waving of beer before running down the street naked"
so its onward upon the lovelorn path to the next bar...

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
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..?
