about

For reasons which will appear obvious eventually, I’m not going into as many details as usual about this album. Imagine a large, in fact, an infinitely large village pond at night. There all sorts of dwellings and buildings with lights scattered around the shore, but most of the shore just has trees and reed beds. A fat man in a wheelchair, throws something into the water on one side of the pond and watches with satisfaction as the ripples from it spread across the entire surface of the water.

The pond is Lake Ideaspace. The fat man in the wheelchair is me. This album is the object that caused the splash.

I will fill in the lyrics and the explanations for the songs in due course, but it won’t be just yet. This album is dedicated with undying love to Maxine, who I have loved for nearly 3 decades. I hope you like it my dear.

released February 3, 2024

This album was recorded, written, and played by me from the comfortable armchair that Olivia gave me and which,, since I have been unable to walk properly has been my studio, my office and pretty well everything else. Many thanks to Louis, Ve, Graham, Judy and Karen for their input, and to Archie, Lilith and Peanut for theirs.
