Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Some people retake their marriage vows after 45 years or so... but that seem a bit like settling down and getting staid. So why not pretend to start all over afresh instead, recapturing the early excitement. Let's have an affair with each other!
Lyrics
AOS 19Let’s have an affair C Em Am A7 Our life together's been a heady refrain F G7C And there 've been more highs than lows C Em Am A7 So why not just start it all over again DG F# G7 I've got a plan I'm sure will grow on you.... C Fmaj7 Dm G Let's pretend that we've just met C Fmaj7 F F# G There's be attraction you can bet C C7 F FmGG7 Or maybe something better yet you know Some conversation would be nice Maybe falter once or twice And then as we broke the ice DG We'd feel something grow And you know if I were in your shoes I'd conclude I had nothing to lose What's the point of having choice less you choose To be fair And I hope that you will agree I'll do my best most diligently To ensure that I set you free from all cares Let's have an affair Bridge: C Fmaj7 Dm E F D#?C A7 We'll act like we're frantic Incurable romantics DmG7 CC7 Afraid that we might get caught Dm EAm You may say I'm stupid But I'm with cupid D F G Such freedom cannot be bought I'll take you to some fabulous place And watch the sunset paint your face And hold you as our pulses race And the moon shines on above (D G) And later in our cosy bed We'll let our emotions rule our headsC And bind us there in golden threads if everlasting love (D G) … let’s have an affair End: C C7 F Fm7 let’s have an affair (repeat) D G CBC C7
