Noel, ab fab mate. I'd rather hear your voice but the synthy one is tres bon anyway.
You're a man out of time.
Your music harks back while reaching forward.
Hi Ray.
I hope things are going well for you up there in the north

The Tin-Pan-Alley period of music is one that I feel very comfortable with, especially the 1930s and 1940s styles. I've learnt a great deal about lyric writing from the lyricists of this period. One of my favourite books is
"The Poets Of Tin Pan Alley" by Philip Furia. It's excellent reading and gives some really good insight into the lyric writing of this genre. It's not an accident that so many of the American classics are from the period of music.
Thanks for the visit!
