Thankyou for your generous words. I lead Worship regularly at our church and 'When you pass through the waters' makes an appearance occasionally. Fully attributed of course! It was an honour to work with you<br /> and a great grief to witness the pain you were in in 1982. I just wish I had been better able to articulate how much I cared, and how little I could do. 'Don't know how to talk to you, it always comes out wrong. You might say you're my friend today but you won't be that way long. I damage with the things I do, but I really don't mean to hurt you - I'm just trying to reach out to you through the Lifegame.' May your life sail in calmer waters in these later years, old friend.

Was it really 35 years? <br />I bought a copy of "Our of the Harbour" recently and need to get it into a format that is playable on the radio.

I'd love if you considered digitising and sharing the 1983 or was it 84? versions of Park Lane recordings 'Dancing in a Minefield', 'Jump (don't jump') and also the Brave Boys third recorded track, can't remember the title, lost my cassette tape! Tracks that featured a rather expensive Prophet V and some great kit playing by Alec Smith.<br />Alan Cameronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-83243674700603940432017-11-17T23:12:52.832+00:002017-11-17T23:12:52.832+00:00Ah, the temptation is always there.

I like this album very much, excellent guitar playing and sensational bass, especially on Loose Talk.<br /><br />As a long time fan I think it's time for your full autobiography and discography, you've given us snippets over the years in your books, blogs and (much missed) radio shows, but not the full story.Allan Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983241443943296864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-66477399174422087852017-11-17T20:43:49.776+00:002017-11-17T20:43:49.776+00:00Thanks for posting this.

Some of those songs have been refrains that have sustained and nourished me over many years, the aching simplicity of some of those choruses. On Facebook so was talking to another musician about the difference between what a writer experiences in a song and how listeners reframe lyrics for themselves. Too much emphasis is placed on blind faith when doubting faith is genuine honest and pure. Thank you for the impact this little TDK had on me and thank you for digitizing it.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
