Walk By The River
b"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!"
