About
I am a retired Art Gallery director. I now spend my time composing music and writing songs, with occasional break outs into painting. I am single, twice divorced, and live a hermit-like existence in a large house in a very small community with my two cats. I have five children, and four grand children. There's not too much else to tell. My main love is music.

Brinkworth in South Australia is now just a one-horse town
It was once a busy railhead, and many ghosts are still around
There are still two huge old silos
That shimmer in the night,
It's where the ghosts now gather in the shadows of moonlight.
Most folks are retired here, but there's also blood that's new,
And it's great to hear young children
Having fun as children do.
We have a school, and a swimming pool,
Memorial Hall and Pub,
A great big Footy Oval, and a tiny Bowling Club.
I moved here from the City,
And I know I won't go back
I have a little place I love
Near the disused railway track.
I've lived in many places,
Used to like to travel 'round,
But Brinkworth is the best of them;
The best place I have found.
So when I die please bury me here,
Where better to rest my soul,
In the pretty country graveyard
I know I'll be at home.
With scallywags, and Heroes,
And plain folk take their ease,
Lay me down in hidden Brinkworth -
I know I'll Rest in Peace.
