Hallo Dad Hallo All

So, this year I am going to try write and record an album of "Stories from South African and other places".

One of the consequences of living in this beautiful land is "scattered families". The young are always leaving to seek greener pastures. I am sure it happens everywhere but here they seem to head off in their droves. It really is very sad.

This song is about a young girl who goes off to New York and Skypes home full of the excitement of life. As time goes on she starts to miss home but feels she cannot come back home and admit defeat.

Floyd helped me enormously with the production on this one, including recommending a completely new set of instruments (I would never have through to use the sax in the solo). Thanks Floyd. I appreciate it.

The instruments used are:
