Changes Afoot
I’ve been away for a week, removed from phones, TV, internet and the World in general. It’s been bliss. I took along my guitar, uke and micro-studio, but neither wrote nor recorded anything new. Just doodled. Sometimes that’s just what…
Lick of Paint
In preparation for finally getting this album out, I’ve given The Lunacy Board website a bit of a makeover. It’s not quite as haphazard as it once was, and should be a bit easier to find your way about. No…
The New Yobstick
At last, I finally got around to finishing the new yobstick. It’s quite a departure from previous efforts – lots of natural wood and more emphasis on playability instead of durability. I’ve only played it for a short time tonight,…

Deserted Refurb
I’ve given the Deserters’ website a bit of a make-over, as it was looking pretty sad. It’s still not perfect, and there are various bits of extra info to be added like music clips, lyrics and family tree. Those won’t…
Website Improvements
