Yet another songwriter-guitarist-singer. In that order. Though I earn my living mostly playing bass.
I play bass with various bands in many genres, and also perform at mainly acoustic-style venues as a solo songwriter-guitarist-singer (in that order)

Story behind the song
The Simplicity Suite is a set of short pieces in classical guitar style. The idea is that they should be easy enough for beginners, but interesting enough for more advanced players. This is my favourite so far. The lyrics are not on the recording, which is an instrumental played on a cheap nylon-strung guitar that a milkman friend of mine found in a dustbin when on his round. The last verse is not so easy to play but the piece works nearly as well without it. The beautiful painting is by water-colour artist John Bartram.
Lyrics
spirit within surface of skin, held in that cage, turning each page, reading each line, serving its time, waits for the rising tide forward, retreat, keeping its beat, spirit still sleeps. ocean of deeps pulled by the moon, midnight to noon, lifts with the rising tide so long the spirit has been grounded in body's soil. now turns the flood of green ending the body's toil. spirit unbound seeking new ground floats on the rising tide
