Walk By The River
Episode #24: Walk By The River - (Song at 6.14)\nWelcome to another podcast episode - a big show again, this week!\xa0\nPicture me on a stage, with my piano. You're the intimate audience. Yes, you're going to a get a song- song# 385 as matter of fact. But that's far from all you'll be hearing about.\xa0\nCome back in time with me and we'll see where the song came from. At the time I composed this song, I was reading Tolkien by candlelight, listening to De Ja vu by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. It was a peaceful time for me.\nI walked by the river a lot, fly fishing and letting my worries go. Just as my father did before me and his father did before him, on that same river.\xa0\nThis song was the last one I wrote before I left New Zealand to come to live in Australia.\xa0\nAs well as looking at the lyrics and the music, you'll get to hear about a (humorous) unfortunate episode involving me by the river in NZ on a very dark night, finding my way back to my car. And another yarn about a quiet stream, years later, in Victoria, Australia.\xa0\nAlong with life observations, insights to the song writing process, a yarn or two about gigs I've played and some other surprises ....enjoy some music and a chat.\xa0\nSit back , grab a cuppa and put your feet up for 30 minutes. Let me entertain you!
