Details:
This record is dedicated to the memory of my friend and father, R B Hanly and in this context, it seems apt to tell that the very first song on which I learned to accompany myself with guitar was ‘Father and Son’ by Cat Stevens. Soon after this in about 1975, my brother’s girlfriend lent me two songbooks: Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. Thanks Angela, Leonard and Neil. These books coupled with a pre-existing respect for both artists set me on a trajectory informed by a respect for words and the challenge to set them to music in an attractive form. For the most part, I still use these simple folk chords, take trains of thought sometimes flavoured with twisted idiom and imbue them with an intention to capture with integrity, the living of a life. Please accept these imperfect offerings hinting at the ideal theme.
The sleeve notes contribute to the fuller appreciation of what''s going on in the songs. I was surprised by the degree of enthusiasm I felt for the generation of material ( Quotes, photos and poems) supportive of the songs. I am indebted to Les Love in particular, for his kind contribution of some of his fantastic works including ''Birdman'', inside the cover.
