"OLD SKOOL POP SONGS FROM AN OLD SKOOL DUDE"

About Me

Really I am a writer of pop songs, although I do like to play live now and again when anyone will let me................. ............................................. My current set includes a couple of the songs you have here plus things like "Your Song", "Let's Stick Together and "Brown Eyed Girl". My own songs like "Lazy Days" and "You need more time" and "My T.V." are also going down well, and it's the first time they are being played live, so it's nice to get some some reaction to them on here as well; Quite a frequent traveler to Eastern Europe (Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Hungary) and have been to Australia, USA, Fiji, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia in the past. ......................... .......................REMEMBER YOU CAN ADD ONE OF MY SONGS TO YOUR PROFILE HERE FOR FREE! ..........Me doing an impersonation of John Steed from the Avengers in the 60's.... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
