Retired Musician and Magician. Happy Christmas 2025 and Happy New Year 2026. First joined Soundclick 2006!
About? I think the music I record here describes "about". Living somewhere quiet in England near to lakes, hills, cycleways. We are a fit and healthy retired couple with a lifetime of experience in entertainment, both Musical and Magical. Don't be mistaken about pieces like "Death"! It's just my weird sense of humour.

Lyrics
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you? The words would never show, the you I've come to know . . . If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go? There's no one home but you, you're all that's left me to . . . And when my love for life is running dry, You come and pour yourself on me . . . If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you, tomorrow and today, beside you all the way . . . If the world should stop revolving, Spinning slowly down to die, I'd spend the end with you when the world was through . . . Then one by one the stars would all go out . . . Then you and I would simply fly away!

Absolutely amazing, Tony. You are the best piano player. Be proud. You play with great feeling. Nice song...when I play music venues, I sing this one, as well.
