Mummy and Daddy

We just makes it in the shed when she's asleep..

About Me

We met a long time ago when the summers here were hot and steamy. Now they are blinding. We fell in love but stayed apart, then together, then apart . . and on and on. Su made beautiful slow tragic songs with a strange kind of sad joy. A bit like John Cale or Jane Siberry. I made music for odd documentaries on my guitar. Now we live in the suburbs and swing our little Delilah under the mango tree. We write love songs to her now. I play the ukulele in the shade. But soon we shall polish off some old tunes and make some new ones. Break out the guitars. Invite some drummers to the shed. The rest we can do. Life is too fleeting not to try for prolific. Don't you think??
