Human rights protest song.
I started playing guitar at the age of 4 years, my dad was a folk singer and my biggest influence. I started busking around the UK at the age of 15 and then on to Europe and America in my early 20s. I then turned pro touring the working clubs here and in Europe.At this point about 29 I think I took up piano also had a good 8 years solid playing a lot of catching up to do ha....... My greatest ambition fulfilled was standing on stage in Nashville Tennessee and singing outside the old oprey house it was an open mic performance but one I treasure greatly. I also fulfilled one of my other ambitions, to meet and talk about songwriting with the master himself Tom Paxton. Just recently september 1st I had the surprise of my life to sing with my Idol Joshua Kadison see the photo it was in Krefeld Dusseldorf Germany.Wow a night I will never forget.

Story behind the song
This is a song about the generations of Africans removed from Africa against their rights and free will. Now due to unstable economic fear or simply starvation or war they are leaving fleeing for their lives or just for freedom or better opportunity. On my travels be it in Malta or Spain I have seen countless displaced Africans who sadly are treat as second class citizens its heartbreaking to witness.
