I am an inspired musician - I only write when I'm inspired. I love to create a song from scratch (no samples). My songs are pretty POP ORIENTATED but i do like to add a twist in it to make them interesting. I am songwriter who writes from the heart. I have written 2 concept Albums - Olympus (The Greek Gods) & Automatic Evolution (New Robotic Apocalypse). The latter needs a good reworking though Music Therapy......... You gotta love it!!!!!!

Story behind the song
I was having a touch of the "Oscar Wilde's" so I thought I'd right a cautionary tale about the sea............ (me hearty landlubbers!!!!!)
Lyrics
Sea Bass – A Nautical Tale Have you ever set sail - In the belly of a Whale I heard a man from Israel did this He had the strangest notion - To go swimming in the Indian Ocean To experience life – As a fish I guess his teachers never - Taught him at school Because if they did - He would have known All of the rules Have you ever seen a Herring - that was red - And not dead I guess – that man - was a fool And have you ever had a conversation With a crab or any other crustacean Have you ever swapped tales with a Giant Octopus (it’s a must) and Have you ever had the pleasure, darling To go diving with the Tuna and the Marlin I know you’d probably say what’s the fuss I know the wide open seas - Are a dangerous place to be You can hardly say it’s easy as a breezy walk in the park (what a lark) For the calmest of waters - Never seem as the oughta If you ever cross swords - With a Manta Ray or a Shark So the Deep Blue Sea - Holds mysteries for me More Ancient Myths and Tales - Than you can guess Like Wild Somali Pirates - Leviathans and Dryads Mermaids and the Marie Celeste Amongst the other dangers - Of these Aquatic Strangers are Obstacles I have to suggest Like Plesiosaurs and Plankton - And things that you can bank on like Submarines - And Nuclear Tests So if you ever get the zest - To set sail on a Nautical Quest Remember all the lessons - You have learnt It’s as I said before - It’s a lesson you can’t ignore For the Sea - Is a place where you never get burnt (what a paradox)
