I can't seem to stop writing songs. Mostly they write themselves. I just hold up a net and catch them as they flutter past. Counting the albums I made with Tamarack, I've hit FORTY of the little darlings now, spread out over 30 years. Maybe I'll get it right one day and I can stop. In the meantime, here's a catalogue of what's in current circulation. I'd be honoured if you'd consider purchasing one. It would help restore my faith in showbiz!
