Long Road Home [the album] is my attempt to show how war affects ordinary people, and to articulate the suffering and pain that it causes on a personal level. I have to point out it was written around 20 years ago and recorded as a demo on a very old four track cassette machine, so the sound quality is not as I would like it, however, taking that into consideration I think it stands up fairly well as a piece...

We as citizens of a democracy can only be guided by our leaders as to what is just and what is not, however if we find that they have lied to us we must vote to remove them. It is unfortunate that Long Road Home is as relevant today as it was in the time it portrays and at the time I wrote it...
