John -
Thank you so much for your kind words . . .
You seem to have received my song precisely how I intended it . . . . which is rare, as I would generally maintain that "you
had to there" to understand this strange "obsession" I have
If you are interested to investigate further - here is the front door to my two sites that relate
Front DoorTo the left, is the personal page - how I got to where I am. Career stuff etc . . . .
To the right is the Website - All about Slade Farm . . . There are links inside to a <Photo Gallery> and to the <Forum> I set
up so my fellow "obsessives" could talk to each other . . .
If you scroll down to the:
<Recollections . . .through the eyes of a ten-year-old, recalled by a 62 year-old romantic . .>
Link - you'll find much that you "heard" in my song. The places are all REAL
The Website Title page has a picture of "The little grey house" - and there are many more besides in the <Photo Gallery>.
I an PARTICULARLY proud of the <Coombestone Panorama> - in the Gallery, some 14 pics stitched together - there too you
can see the little grey house in the distance, down the hill - it has acquired white gable ends . . . .
(The background Music to the Photo Gallery was also produced on the Fusion - its called "Broken-Hearted Saxophone" . . . . I
used the pitchbend extensively on the Sax to produce a more "singing" quality to the tone . . . . )
Please excuse the deep obsession with all of this - though you might find it provides a pleasant "interlude" to whatever you're
doing
occasionally - if taken in
small doses.
There are more songs in the pipeline - many are complete except the lyrics . . .
Unfortunately - I have to be in EXACTLY the right mood to write these - so it may be a while.
Recording them is another problem - usually has do be done in the "small hours" in our conservatory - due to ceaseless traffic
noise at other times . . .
Meantime, here is another which
is complete - written to my Partner of 27 years, Jan. Pretty much a standard "Love Song"
and fairly conventional . . .
Sunshine LadyBest Regards
Chris
