Between 2007 and 2013, around the time of my
retirement, I wrote a number of songs about life
on the canals of England. These found their way
onto a home-produced CD which I was happy to
give to anyone who showed an interest, and
even some who didn’t.
Having hardly picked up a guitar whilst earning a
crust for 40 years, I’m aware of my musical
limitations but am quite pleased with the lyrics I
crafted about a subject I hold dear. I live in hope
that someone, someday, makes a better job of
performing them.
Since then I have written a few more, so have
now transferred mp3 versions of all the songs to
SoundCloud and published them on this website
from where they can be downloaded.
Each song page on this website gives the lyrics,
guitar chords and recordings (some of which
could certainly be improved).
