Hey Al - I read your post about Andy, very sad. Thanks for your donation pledge to the British Heart Foundation, it's much appreciated, and will help spur me on in my training. Only 3 and a bit months to go now until the big race - you can follow my progress at http://www.justgiving.com/shortblokerunslongway

Thanks John, hope you liked the song "It's Hard To Believe" The FREE gig in Andy's honour made about £273.00 and knowing that it makes a difference is very rewarding. Good luck fellah, maybe we can arrange a gig or something nearer the time. Keep on running. Al.

Great Website. Thanks for stopping by with the suggestions of songs, LOVE Dock of the Bay but feel that I would not do it justice. I have to listen to the Fisherman's Blues yet Really like the name tho. Have a great new year my friend. Talk to you next year. ~~~_/)~~~ Beach Bum Pirate~~~_/)~~~

Hi Scott, so glad you made it here. Yeah "Fishermans Blues" is by The Waterboys. Lines such as "wish I was a fisherman tumbling on the sea" up your street I think or should I say lagoon. Talk in 2010. Al.

Laurel, I remember you being the first person to really get what I'm trying to do. Your words below a propos my latest blog post (on the news blog) drive me to continue with my story and message. I can't change the world but I can change the world in me. Yours and my children are the new generation of hope, to me music is the most spiritual of languages and everyone is fluent. That's why I continue and try to focus on the good vibes and that again is thanks to people like you. Maybe I never will make any money doing this and anyway as my mother says "there are no pockets in a shroud" but I'm gonna keep on keeping on. As ever love and music. Al.

*world* rather, (spelling) sorry.

I appreciate your latest blog post! The depressed economy is worldwide. Sometime here in the States, I think we tend to forget that the screwed-up mess is something we share with the word not' it's not just us alone are suffering. What impresses me most about you across the board is your positive attitude. You just keep hanging "in there" and making the music. What else can you do? If you had a full-time PR agent at $1,000.00 (or Pounds, however that translates to where you live), it would be a steal. Who can afford that right now. Not the small businessman! What you are doing by keeping us well informed is so vital. You are doing a great job. The marketing and PR part of what you do is a full-time job all by itself. I really enjoy your music...and your inspiration. I feel certain that if you just keep making the music..."they will come." Giving away music is another conundrum. We, as fans, appreciate getting to hear your songs in full or in "snippets." STILL, we should all support our favorite Artists by paying to download the music. You already have it going at rock bottom prices. Just hang in there. But above all else, don't let this economy sink your spirits...like a "stone."

Please bare with me while site is finished, Feel free to get in touch and give feedback on music and site. AL.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
