My Times


Stuart Bliss is almost finished. The mixing went very well and the first print should be completed in April.
We're talking about doing a video with scenes from the film for Rasputin, from my album. The song is in the film along with a couple of others including the soon to be anthem of one word song lovers everywhere - Ola.

Hey, you've waited this long for my album, what's the difference if it takes an extra week or two! If it doesn't age well, then it wasn't any good in the first place...

One of my all time favourite "aged" albums is In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson.
This was a killer record in 1969, and it still is today.
It was the first big Mellotron record and the first incarnation of Robert Fripps legendary group which included Greg Lake and Ian Mcdonald, who went on to form ELP and Foreigner.
If you can get a hold of a copy you won't be disappointed. It may be a little "hard" for some, but the album goes from new age to eyeball popping without any trouble and the musicianship is first class and wonderfully innovative.
21st Century Schizoid Man is just a burning masterpiece!

Here are some comments from most of the drivers...


I don't want to take sides in the current White Water Washington fiasco. I admit I mentioned the Mena business in January...
But this week I started to read a news forum relating to the whole mess, and despite it being a "Conservative" slanted discussion forum, it's more than worth the read as it's really quite funny.
The stories appear long before they hit the nightly news and offer a facinating incite into the whole sordid affair...the press coverage I mean!
The Clinton Stamp might be going a bit far?

"For Argentina we will have some developments which I hope will allow us to challenge the McLarens as those guys must be falling asleep out there!"
