What Goes On? This one is dedicated to my friend Shay Dee who is going through complicated times. ‘One Minute Born, One Minute Doomed, One Minute Up, One Minute Down, What Goes On in Your Mind? I think that I am falling down. Lady be Good, Do what you Should and YOU KNOW It will WORK ALRIGHT! It will BE ALL RIGHT!’

Also on a brief note, I am changing the way I create. I will (hopefully) lay tracks, take a break and draw images, then after a few hours, mix the recording and post. I have another new image on the way. This seems to work well […]
