At last!

Although it has been available expensively from the USA, WALK THE WILD ROAD is finally available over here in the UK in a Kindle version. It's part of a programme initiated by Amazon, called Amazon Whiteglove, which will see all my out of print books available over here and all the books which were never published over there will be available in the USA.

LYRICS TO ALWAYS HEADING HOME

A number of people have asked me to post the lyrics to ALWAYS HEADING HOME, the song which The Orange Circus have recorded -

You can see it in the sunset
Purple clouds and shades of blue
Flashing light on water
Smoky rainfall too
The dancing of the atom
Rocks and running streams
Long forgotten stories
Memories and dreams
The beauty of the children
The wisdom of the old
The changing of the seasons
We're always heading home

From year to year
From day to day
From dawn to dark
From birth to grave
We're always heading home

You can hear it in distant voices
Echoes from the past
In the music of the forest
And the silence of the stars
A feeling something's missing
That can't be said in words
The way tht all things balance
The fast one and the slow
In the mystery of living
That's more than flesh and bone
The question and the answer
We're always heading home

From year to year
From day to day
From dawn to dark
From birth to grave
Always heading home
We're always heading home

The Orange Circus

I'm delighted to say that my friends at The Orange Circus have recorded a song that I wrote for them, called YOU STAND BY ME.

The Orange Circus happily call themselves the silliest band in the world, but they are much more than that - although there certainly is an endearingly ramshackle and madcap element to their live gigs. But at the same time they have a real talent for getting audiences involved in a foot-stomping, sing-along good-time way which sends everyone home feeling better than before the gig. They also happen to play their instruments well and sing songs which have their roots in American country and folk music but to which they always give their own quirky twist. And how can you knock any band which has a wonderful 80+ year old member called Granny Alice who, onstage in her pink cowboy hat, can charm herself into the hearts of everyone who sees her?

They made a video for the song, on a freezing cold day on a Sussex farm. It's The Orange Circus, par excellence.  Please do take a look.
