Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
CH 16 Marina A C DA You can take your yacht and stick it in your own marina A I don't care what you got but C B A BD I think my lifestyle takes yours to the cleaners E A Bb BA E Sitting on the hillside gazing down through the pines E ABb BA E Working on my chill side, feeling fine A Bbb5 A Down on the quayside it's all noise and disharmony EG E Everyone is running round shouting look at me All the priests and nuns are drinking beer and wine They've got a new bishop so I guess its party time Somehow it all seems to go against the grain Wouldn't it be something if they lived up to Jesus' name Living for the moment, not living for the show Ostentatious wealth's not the way I want to go You can blow your own trumpet, or try to out-Trump Trump But your self- aggrandisement just gives me the hump.
