A SINGER OF SONGS, WRITING LYRIC AND POETRY ALL MY LIFE, IF I CAN TOUCH YOUR HEART,MIRROR PAST MEMORIES IN YOUR LIFE, BRING TEARS OR LAUGHTER THATS GREAT I'M HAPPY. SHARING THE SAME STAGE WITH AN ILLUSTRIOUS COMPANY OF PERFORMERS SUCH AS;PAUL YOUNG,EASYBEATS,THE FOUNDATIONS,GLASGOW POETS TO NAME BUT A FEW and FOUND MYSELF TRAVELLING THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF THE BRITISH Isles has been something.
Writing and recording over 300 songs whilst living in London, teaching myself how to play keyboard,bass,and guitar was somethingelse.
A Meeting with the Barron Knights, and Joe Brown one evening ,left me playing guitar behind my head at Caesars Palace. Music and poetry have always played a big part of my life, keys opened doors that may have been locked to me.My memory of meeting Scotty Moore and D.J.Fontana (Elvis Presleys guitarist & drummer) still makes me smile, can't believe it myself.
My poetry has been widely Published and Anthologised with upteen collections spread far and wide. In 1982 Princess Diana and HRH Prince Charles wrote to me and I had the great honour of meeting HRH Prince Charles in March last year at Saint James Palace in London. I hope I don't wake up one day and find out that it's all been a dream.

False Accusations They've blamed me for this and that, yet I'm keeping quiet. Why is that ? am I Jesus taking the blame like Jesus for others. I'm accused by my own blood Brothers. They don't know the facts, and if they did, Would they ask forgiveness from their Mother. I guess not as it's not within them. They act as mice and not of men. I know through time I have to forget, Even tho' Brothers, I wished we had never met.
