Scott,
Thanks, almost all of my songs are autobiographical and this covered a 5 year period of my life in the 1980's

Aleck,
I didn't realise that my accent was so noticeable to others. My Mum was Aussie and I was born, in Wales, with an Aussie accent, never had a welsh accent and then 20 years in Cockney land, the East End of London, sealed my vocal fate!!
I had to google Luther as I had never heard of it!!
Thanks for the comments.

Dani,
Thanks for the Santana smilie! I saw him once in the 1990's and the ****** played bongos, didn't touch his guitar grrrrr! I wanted Samba Pa Ti mad
The original chords were A and D minor69's, my version of Prince's weird chord; 6655 on the high strings, EBGD respectively.
