**NEW SONG - RESCUE - COMMENTS PLEASE**

About Me

After years of frustrated genius, bedroom guitar playing and tapes made on a recorder nabbed off a zx spectrum, the boy wonder finally makes it onto the world wide web for your listening pleasure.In my spare time, I like to write songs with the Donkey, the Tulip, Alphonso Mango and Patrick Broccolihead for our side project the Donkey and the Tulip (www.myspace.com/thedonkeyandthetulip). Please listen and enjoy; I can't force the latter but human science has yet to discover anyone who is genetically predisposed not to. And add us as to your friend; we're friendly people, not to mention talented!The Donkey and the Tulip recently put up A Dance of Death to rave reviews:"Like Johnny Cash and Elvis together again" NME"I love it" Sheila from AlabamaAnyway, I hope you like my music and that of the Donkey and the Tulip, and if you do, leave me/us a comment, good or bad; we love the banter with all you weirdos out there.I thank you.
