Tennessee republicans and Speaker Cameron Sexton should be ashamed of themselves - making a tragedy political and making Tennessee look backward and totally out of touch

By not naming the presenter in question regarding allegations the BBC News (UK) BBC Breaking News and Tim Davie are actually letting the gossip destroy the reputations of all their other top presenters and the reputation of the BBC itself, again! It seems lessons haven’t been learned #bbc

It’s the anniversary for this album. The title track and Telegraph Road are two of my favorites. The cover photo I took at a car wreckers in Tennessee one night, and the back cover is at the gates of our small farm near Hartsville’s on Highway 231

So we say goodbye to Spring and welcome Summer with the promise of warmer weather and sunny days, sitting in the garden or on a beach somewhere - the perfect companion could be Summer; A Trilogy, available in hardback or paperback. amzn.eu/d/dMC9dbn

Telegraph Road - I knew when I wrote this it was special - it wrote itself really to be honest #telegraphroad #single #cd #countrytalesandhobotrails

Years ago when we were thinking of moving to Tennessee I imagined a small town and wrote a song, called Hartsville. A couple of years later we found our land - and the nearest town was called, yes, Hartsville!

They look but they don’t see Only what they want to see The blind (Mis)leading the blind They listen but they don’t hear Only what they want to hear Words fall on deaf ears They pretend But don’t believe They have no faith It’s all fake You see What they want you to see

They look 
but they don’t see
Only what they want to see 
The blind
(Mis)leading the blind

They listen 
but they don’t hear
Only 
what they want to hear 
Words fall on deaf ears

They pretend
But don’t believe
They have no faith
It’s all fake
You see
What they want you to see

The scenes from Los Angeles are truly heartbreaking. Like many others I love LA, the diversity, the landscape and the whole ‘feeling’ of this city made up of many small towns. I pray this is resolved soon and common sense prevails.

It’s been a week that most won’t want to remember. The passing of two musical incomes, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone, the Air India crash, plus the scenes from the Middle East, LA, Ukraine; conflict seems more and more part of our lives today and respect seems to disappeared

I love fireflies and how they dance in summer evenings. There’s a poem in the new book called Blue Ghost Fireflies which comes from the Carolinas I think. (I didn’t take this wonderful, magical photo - from the Smokey Mountains Visitor center).

An eye opening book for a 15 year old in Cardiff, it tells the story of Frank and his Californian chapter of Hells Angels,very graphic and real. A couple of years later living in Santa Barbara I met another biker called Frank, complete with chopper bike and 2 bullet wounds
