Jon Gibson. Why I like the guy is not because of his singing. It’s not because of the fact that he’s linked to my man Stevie Wonder. It’s that just like a lot of me favourites, he creates the whole package – the tune, the words, the melody, the feeling, the whole greater than its […]

Read More Walter Hawkins Tribute – He’s That Kind Of FriendI just spent the evening in the company of my wife whilst watching Japan take on and comfortably beat Denmark in their last group match in World Cup 2010.

It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowThe concluding part of our brief series on my growing understanding of family is coming up soon. Today though, I was reflecting on the nature of friends as I was looking to update me Facebook page. My relationship with Facebook has been interesting since I signed up to it about a year or so ago.

Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Broader HorizonsIt’s a brilliant female vocal lead before handing over to the main man, but this is just one of those songs that you can take on board and chill out on as well as enjoying choir work near the peak of the game.

Read More Friends – Perfected Praise Choir featuring Marvin WinansI wrote the recent post about first contact as a tribute to a new friend.
