  • I Can’t See New York

    Seventeen years ~Feels like a lifetime,And yesterday ~We remember In some ways it’s hard to believe that it’s been seventeen years since September 11. It seems like an age ago – it was more than half my lifetime ago now, in fact. The world has changed so much. And yet in other ways it barely…

  • Ripper Little Christmas (an Aussie Christmas Song)

  • I’m Dreaming of an Aussie Christmas

    So it’s almost Christmas again. I finished another of my Aussie Christmas songs earlier.

  • The I Am Blues

    Just a quick note. Some of you may remember a poem I wrote a few years ago called I Am. Apparently it’s just been turned into a song. I didn’t know anything about it and only recently stumbled across it via Google; I had licensed it under a creative commons licence and it looks like…

  • We Wish You an Aussie Christmas

    Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today. Hope you’re having a wonderful day wherever you are in the world. It was hot in Sydney today and we just spent a quiet day at home. We opened our presents in the afternoon – I got the new Stephen King which I’m looking forward to reading – and…
