Now it's time for some original material. This song, and the following few are not on the album. For various reasons. There are 30 second sound samples for all tracks that are on the album "Sight Or Sound" at:

Sight Or Sound - Jeff Edwards

It's also available on Amazon and Ruckus so far. There are fifteen tracks on the album, and only 10 of those are in full on my Youtube channel.

The name of this composition is "Tell me why". It's another composition from a few years ago. The theme of the song is a relationship that ends, seemingly without reason. I'm sure there are many that can identify with that situation. I am fond of this tune, but the chorus was a little too weak for my ears. I considered there were better songs to choose from.

Here it is:

More Dad stuff now.

My Dad. Part 5.

As I suggested previously, he once lived in a place named "Cowgate road" in Greenford, West London. In his mother's residence. Music is something he was crazy about. So it was no surprise that he got into the scene. His tools of choice were the Guitar and Harmonica. There was only one serious endeavour in music with him, and it was a band called "The frasier chorus". They were a harmonica outfit, and my father was on the chromatic. They had very little in the way of success. They never secured a record contract, but they did enjoy touring with bigger, well known bands.

Being on the scene, meant that he mixed with names that are still recognised today. He has recounted a few tales to me. I found one or two very surprising. Even by the standards of today. Although during the sixties, it probably wasn't that surprising. Now I'm not sure if this happened in Cowgate road, but I've been told by my father about Lulu and Brian Poole of Tremeloes fame. My father never really liked Lulu. He had a few names for her but none of them are repeatable here. He said that she did anything for the lights of fame. I wouldn't say that was unusual. Many people did. He pointed out to me that the both of them were sexually active behind my grandmother's couch. Floors are cold and hard. Well this one was. Why didn't they use the couch. It would have been far more comfortable. Unless someone else was sitting there :)
