Why?
Because I write songs, and songs need to be given wings, and the only way that can happen is ifpeople listen to them and let themselves be entertained, affected, moved or repulsed by them.
So I'm hoping that lots of people will help themselves to four of my songs and, perhaps, like a little of what they hear.
As I write this, unconfirmed reports are emerging that Michael Jackson, often dubbed 'King of Pop' is dead. If this is true, the world has lost a unique and extremely talented artist.
Jackson's personal life, such as it was, has always been controversial in a myriad of ways, but underpinning all of this was the immense skill of the man, as a singer, songwriter, dancer and all-round entertainer.
Michael Jackson was a private man who nevertheless lived his entire life in the public domain. If he is indeed dead, as it seems he is, then we have a legacy of storming songs to remember him by.
