Ok, I've Had A Life

I May Sing The Same Songs For Over 40 Years Now But I Always Sing Them In Different Ways In Order To Keep The Excitement And Passion Alive.

On Memorial Day, I Don't Want To Only Remember The Combatants. There Were Also Those Who Came Out Of The Trenches As Writers And Poets, Who Started Preaching Peace, Men And Women Who Have Made This World A Kinder Place To Live.

My Activism Was, And Is, Unknown, Unannounced, But Somehow Effective.

I'm Really Still A Child Of The Forties. I Still Think About It A Lot, About The Repercussions Of Armed Conflict. Until 1953 We Had Rationing. We Couldn't Buy Meat, We Couldn't Buy Pleasurable Goods Like Cigarettes And Sweets. I Didn't Starve - My Family Were Lucky - But I Knew What It Was Like Standing In Line Waiting For Foodstuffs.

I Was In College, And Very Disappointed. I Majored In Commercial Art And Interior Design For Three Or Four Years. At That Time, It Seemed The Thing I Really Wanted To Do, Production Design, Just Wasn't Available In The U.k., So I Turned To Music.
