The Daily Flannel – Creator of Fiction, Creator of Gods. Pure Poetry.
I am an artist.

So I thought I’d relearn it and do a little recording so you lot can hear what I’ve been up to. … Continue reading M’s Musical Moments – ‘Get Here’ (Oleta Adams version)

It still takes as long as it takes, and I work from a blank canvas so to speak. My … Continue reading The Wanderer – For Argie
