Life keeps You Guessing
Jan 7, 2023
This CD started with a photograph from the Himalayas posted by my friend Neeraj Pandey. It showed a railway line covered in petals from a Flame of the Forest tree, which turned abruptly to the right in the distance. A beautiful image but also a great allegory for life, which inspired me to write the title track life keeps You Guessing. Neeraj is a brilliant Tabla player, so I sent an early version to him to see if he could add a Tabla accompaniment and he kindly agreed.
I did make one tiny addition to his original image - see if you can spot it! The back cover shows the distant high Himalayas rising above... the Kent countryside!
I did knock up a quick video to go with this track - mainly to show Neeraj's magic fingers at work. You can find it on Youtube https://youtu.be/WsgdvJVrPRw

March 2018 update:
Mar 27, 2018
My latest CD Age Old Story marks a slight change for me - still the same eclectic mix of styles but thematically it's all about relationships... from beginnings to (various) endings.
It's only just occurred to me that I've not updated this page for some time - I don't automatically see it when I log on as me! Ho Hum.
You can get up to date with all my CDs (all 16 of them...) on my website:
