Oh and if you have never come across the US HBO Comedy ‘baskets’ I think you might find it quite biographical based on your profile!!

I’ve watched you so we can do something next year - that tune is way out of the norm for me just a bit of fun after finishing my album and collabs - BUT I’m a huge fan of Strange and Norrell - perhaps we could do something around that.

Hi Richard, glad you liked my "Thatcher Years" song.
YOU SAID:
"...says a lot about Britain, and not in a good way....."
Indeed, Britain was the best place I ever left. Would never return to live there, that "Iron Lady" cast a long shadow. -

Thanks Richard! Good to see you again! Work has been eating up my energy most of this month, so I'm pretty far behind. but a collab would be fun! what do you have in mind?

So we do a similar job - not easy sometimes but worth it.
I like your lyrics, the way you tell a story in a song. And I guess you love to recognize details.
Sorry for my english ... -

Haha don’t worry I’m not precious about a few changes, my lyrics here are always a first draft anyway. Dark Latin bar-room brawl sounds very intriguing, a whole new genre I tried to click on link to listen but it wasn’t working - you can send it to jorh1504@hotmail.com if that’s easier?

Hello Jorh, um, just to let you know, some of the lyrics changed in my mouth as I was recording it - not a massive amount but still noticeable. Sorry if I bent it in a direction you don't like. Here's a link to my (private) Soundcloud page it if you want to vet it first before I post it as a song. The music seems to have taken a swing towards dark latin bar-room-brawl

Dark blues in a shady alley sounds good to me - I’m a fan of a whole array of music. That was just an initial idea but I’m always interested to see where other people take it, some of my favourite collabs have been in a completely different style to what I initially envisioned 😀 more than happy for you to post or your welcome to send it to my email first if you’d prefer.

Glad you like my two recent sea songs.
Are you going to spectate this FAWM out or will you be joining the party?
Look forward to what you will bring. FAWM is a brilliant place for newbies to the trade, such great positive feedback (and occasional insightful positive criticism). -

Hey,
Glad to hear you liked the lyrics - the tv show can take most of the credit for being dark and strange and inspiring it!
Wow that was super fast, you’re more productive than me! More than happy for you to post it on your page - I’m always thankful someone has taken the time to set my lyrics to music! Looking forward to hearing it 😀
