A Couple of Favourite Songwriters Quotes Follows...
“Yes, as through this world I've wandered I've seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun , And some with a fountain pen â€
“It's round the world I've traveled; it's round the world I've roamed; but I've yet to see an outlaw drive a family from its homeâ€
WOODY GUTHRIE, from Pretty Boy Floyd
“ Progress and love have got nothing in common, Jesus healed a blind man's eyes with mud."
PETER CASE, from Poor Old Tom
“ Everybody told me you can't get far
On thirty-seven dollars and a
Jap Guitar."
STEVE EARLE, from Guitar Town
Favourite song could be Gallo Del Cielo, by Tom Russell. A song about theft, hope, success, gambling, heartbreak and shame - all rolled into a song - could someone good make a film of this song?
A brief but utterly captivating biography about Davy Nicol follows
SCOTLAND 1 - 0 FRANCE - I was there!!!
Born in a wee town called Greenock and grew up in neighbouring town Gourock on the scenic West Coast of Scotland. My main interest is music and I perform acoustic gigs and am also in a five-piece band called The Lazarenkos.
I have performed live in various countries throughout the years, mainly UK, US, and Germany.
As well as performing my own material, I on occasion throw some choice covers into the mix.
I also like to play live with The Lazarenkos. We perform mostly our own material and take influences from various genres including pop, country, folk. I also like a game of football (that will be soccer to any American friends reading this!) now and then. I like song-writing when I don't get writers block or is it lazy block!
I decided to make a CD album, "Across The River", which was recorded live at Blackfriars in Glasgow. This is simply an acoustic guitar and vocal recording. During this period I frequented Glasgow Songwriters and this CD displays the songs performed at this time.
There are aspects of the CD I knew could have been better and more polished, but nevertheless the songs are a record of this period of my life and I still think they are OK and I hope you like them too!
On the inlay sleeve, I mentioned that bits fell off my guitar. This was true at the time!
I have had a couple of new guitars since then!
Hope you enjoy the stuff! If not there is no refund!..
