HUMMINGBIRDS & BEES
Americo was like beautiful creature from a far away world, and he Joked to Judith – “When I die, I'll die on your birthday, so you will always remember me” ..... and he did.
This was such a sad and beautiful story, that we asked Judith to give as much detail as possible. After many turbulent years they had decided to share a future together, this was the first birthday he had missed, and she didn't know why.

After seeing Toni Basil (Micky) Dance in her 70s with such beauty we had to pay tribute.

Haunted
John Coletta Solo
Children have cried at this
Haunted
A song set in the moment of realisation, that everything must change, because sentimentality is no reason to ask your partner stay in an unhappy place,“
…it’s suddenly cold when you wake in the bath.”
Shanty
Playing at a punch up in Lochaber, the bar staff said “that was a great night” we said but they were fighting each other” and they said “aye but they didn’t punch you”
“The Lochaber boys and Buckie loons
Parked their fleets and stowed harpoons”
SORRY IS A USELESS WORD
An old style Humpff Family rant, saying that some times, you can’t fix what’s broken. “…like we sit at the top of the food chain out competing until they’re extinct…”

The Putty Pickers
Putty Pickers, native to Scotland, are on the decline with the introduction of UPVC windows, but they are still keeping children under their covers, where they should be.
“They sniff around for children’s feet, or hands or knees or bums
‘Cause children are so much tastier, than sour Dads or Mums”
