Drifting On The Window Seat released at midnight (Brisbane time)!  This first album encompasses a period of my writing and is a bit like drifting.  There are lots of supposed genre types, though I call my genre singer/songwriter.  There are a variety of songs on the album, from the huge list of singles I have released. The ten songs represent a body of work that I am so happy with. Lots of these songs are forays into different techniques and writing methods.  On 1 December I will be releasing a second ten-track album titled "The Magician" - and then a third on the 15 December, titled "Walk My Way".  I planned to release more singles before the end of the year but I really needed to organise my existing titles so folks had an easier way of accessing all my music.  It's my intention to produce a YouTube video that covers each of my albums and the whys, hows and whos of their creation - as well as what brings them together. These outlines are mostly for my own...

Hi all - just keeping you abreast of what I've been doing.  Two weeks ago I played a few songs in the ASA (Australian Songwriters Association) National ZOOM concert. It was a great event and I really enjoyed it.  Last night I stepped out again and headed to Salisbury Community Sports Club for another Open Mic event. I performed two sets, playing seven songs it total.  (As usual, links for the released songs are below). The first set was a bit rough but I was much more relaxed for the second.  The usual sort of talent was there, with most doing covers. It was a totally different crowd to Banshee's and it was good to get feedback from the different audience. Lots of positive comments from other performers, the organiser - and sound guy too.   There were quite a few people about. Rebecca and I had dinner and a few drinks (not enough to compromise safe driving) - and Rebecca took some photos.   I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
