I’ve been away from my desk for a few days, I took some time off this week to continue working on a new album of songs.We escaped to the Highlands to record and we think the results have been worthwhile It was great to meet up with iain Jamieson and start developing some of the ideas for the album. I was also a great joy to have my son Stephen join us as he put some tracks down as one of the latest recruits to the band. Take a listen and see what you think.Iain has had this idea of podcasting the progress of the album being recorded, by releasing little excepts from the songs along with a discussion about the material. He hopes that it will generate interest in the material and the album when it is released. We’ve made a start with the podcasting, but we’re not going to start broadcasting till I take delivery of my new iBook. There’s some software I need to upload and it seems best to wait till the new baby arrives. Here’s a picture of the new member of the family. A few weeks ago I thought it had arrived only to discover the wrong model had been sent . Anyway its quite exciting waiting for the parcel to arrive. I hoping that having a laptop will prove beneficial in all kinds of ways. for a start it will give me more freedom when and were i can work. It will be interesting to see if it makes life a bit easier.

The above picture was on a billboard in Glasgow, in the merchant City. The dark glasses reminded me how we can hide our eyes from those who look at us, but we can’t hide our actions. they eventually catch up with us. So I guess my past is out again,yes believe it or not I’ve got the bug again. Its time to write a new album of songs.Iain jamieson who writes songs with me has come up with this idea that we should allow others to follow the progress of the album by making a pod cast every time we’ve been working on material. So here is the first podcast which I hope we’ll be able to upload to iTunes in the next couple of days for downloads onto your ipods.. Please get back to me and let me know what you think.
