I am delighted to announce that our debut album will be released on Babel Label in May 2017! Our launch gig will be at The Vortex on May 12th. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here are some words that feature on the album, for the late, great John Taylor, to whom the record is dedicated.
For J.T.
A soft touch
through silence, says so much
Musician
unspoken language, gentle hands
a soul that gives, and understands.
…….
Humble man
Solo, colla voce artisan
Magician
sprinting, ambling left right stride
So fingertips in monochrome confide.
……….
A soul to trust
An equal, modest, one of us,
Patrician,
wheels and deals, commanding song
yet sings for all, a voice that’s deep and strong.
……….
And so a smile
exchanged, and held awhile
Physician,
healing hearts through quiet noise
meditations offered, joy.
And through sharp-haze memory are secrets painted
a shimmering canvas, its touch anticipated
a life complete, but so much more to find,
to offer; to himself, to unknown ears and minds
humble, giving, magic musician.
