about

Living in London England in the 70's, playing in an eccentric prog rock trio, frantic intense violin from John Darnborough, cello like bass lines from Mike Tomich. and me warbling my yearning type love songs and missing my girl. Running up against heavy weights like Elton John's manager, Brian Lane, to trying to sell my art to reptillian record execs for L P covers. A never forgotten moment at Virgin, a whole table full of cowed and embarrassed Virgin employees being ripped apart over a not so great cover for Bad Company. Needless to say, I was given three minutes and shown the door. Ah, the creative life !

lyrics

Open the window
let the air in
walk out the door
feel the early morning traffic

hunker down on the tube
avoiding the eyes
of the thieves and the poets

each has a world to sell
each has a place to go

follow all the stories
in this city of the endless flow
wannabe stars and their
dark glass charisma
avoiding the eyes
of the thieves and the poets
the thieves and the poets

I do not seek I find
