It was a moment of drunken inspiration to find something fitting.
Swamp Donkey was another choice.

I play live in the acoustic band THE IDOLINS with Karen Smalley-Turner.

Great for exposure to the world wide web!

Yes. I'd also publish my songs as a songwriter.

Claudine West has played live and in a few local bands over the years. She started playing guitar and piano at 13. Then moved on to drums. Then began jamming blues and jazz music for a while. Influenced by her love for all things acoustic, melodic. A talent for songwriting, then recording developed when she met a lead guitarist (Graham Skelton-Ruth)'Grimm' whose talent on guitar while suffering from Multiple Sclerosis was awe inspiring. They began a 10 year partnership and close friendship. A home recording studio then developed. Many songs were written and recorded. A lot of whisky (for Claudine, coffee for Grimm) was consumed and good times were had. But tragic circumstances ended the joint effort when Grimm committed suicide.
Claudine spent 2 years in the wilderness. Then (by pure chance met again a local talented singer/songwriter (Karen Turner) who they had recorded during the 'studio years'.
This new partnership carries on. Watch this space!
