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

Story behind the song
A friend did indeed get quite maudlin after his youngest went off to university - but much as we love our kids, Sheila & I cheered ourt recaptured freedoms and set off to explore the world once more.
Lyrics
Skiing D G D Some folks they get maudlin, some just sit and cry E A Some just lie around and waste away until they die D G But me Iam feeling cock-a-hoop A D Now that my kids have flown the coop A Now I love my kids donat get me wrong D Iad hate for you to misinterpret this song A D Theyave done everything they could to make me proud A But every season has its place D I accept it all with highest grace E A In fact it makes me want to shout out loud Now freedom is a wondrous thing When you get it back it makes you sing You can bet your life my appetiteas been whet Now the kids may whine, the kids may moan They think whatas mine is what theyall own But now Iam spending money every chance I get
