As you've probably gathered, I adore the music of John Martyn and his enigmatic contemporary Nick Drake. I've attempted a few covers and at present I'm working on something I'd previously not even dreamed of - 'Solid Air'. It's proving to be a real challenge but I'm progressing with my latest effort in Uploads......John Martyn 'Solid Air' (cover). It's not quite there yet but not far off......

About Me:
I like the odd quote here and there that reflects my current whim, which at present is....
On karma: "My Karma ran over your dogma."
Anon
On oxymorons: "Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering--and it's all over much too soon."
Woody Allen
"Last month I blew $5,000 on a reincarnation seminar. I figured, hey, you only live once."
Randy Shakes
"The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep."
W.C. Fields
On self-expression: "Be yourself, everyone else is taken."
Oscar Wilde
On giving: "There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else."
