My Times

The Turning Me Inside Out music video has been sent to Television.
It's edited to the 4 minute "single version" of the opening track from my album, One Moment in Time.
TMIO follows the State of Mind video which has been airing in Canada since September of last year. I hope you like it!

Don't forget to download the mp3 files of Turning Me Inside Out and Too Bloody Much and get them both back into the top of the MP3 Pop chart.
The recent restructuring of the charts at MP3 has dislodged us rather badly!

Old friend and band mate John Bojicic has a new web site with music demos and information about his old band - Dixie Rumproast.

Here is a really useful link for musicians - Musicians Classified..

The most successful and modest Canadian Record Producer ever, has a new web site - David Foster.

Every once in a while it's nice to see how the other half live - an interview with Julian Lennon.

Sometimes it helps to know what's going on at the moment of impact between your golf club and the ball when you're designing a Golf Course.

I can't believe what NATO are doing in Yugoslavia. It's bad enough that the Serbians and Kosovoan Albanians have been killing each other for 9 years and creating thousands of refugees without adding our bombs and making the whole situation even more tragic.
And here we all are, living in a classic "cold war" time warp. We are the good guys. The Serbs are the bad "communist" guys. The Kosovo Albanians are the victims of "ethnic cleansing", and the media are salivating at the abundance of press releases from NATO they get to read. Our bombs only hurt buildings and equipment. Of course there are risks of "collateral" damage to civilians and their homes, but then they shouldn't live so near to Police stations and military bases and soon enough power stations, rail lines and roads. Especially in Kosovo.
We can not stand by and possibly let another "holocaust" happen in Europe.
It's allright of course to have more than one holocaust in Africa for instance. There we don't seem to feel the need to invoke the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UD) charter and act on "humanitarian intervention". I'm sure the millions of refugees would like us to!

In Yugoslavia our side has decided that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) are not terrorists and that the Serbian government are the only killers. The bloody civil war has nothing to do with the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in Kosovo! It's just a sick plot by an insane power hungry madman to cleanse his country of Muslims. And Yugoslavia has been trying to get rid of them for hundreds of years.

But like all things, there's a lot more to it than meets the newspaper and TV's criteria. But don't believe me, read some other news about what's been going on in Kosovo...

" Many people have asked me angrily why it is that Zaphod Beeblebrox instantly greets Ford as Ford when I had stated quite clearly that he had only changed his name to Ford Prefect when he came to Earth. It was very simple. Just before arriving he registered his new name officially at the Galactic Nomenclaturoid Office, where they had the technology to unpick his old name from the fabric of space/time and thread the new one in its place, so that to all intents and purposes his name had always been and would always be Ford Prefect. I included a footnote explaining this in the first Hitch-Hiker book, but it was cut because it was so dull. ."
