About the songs:

1. It's no Good Waiting.                     Just a "love gone wrong" song.
2. The Wave Goes Down.                  First discovery of love, when it's all fresh and innocent.
3. Going Back to Charlie's Place          I visited Ireland in 1997 and discovered this pub in Cork.
4. Rest Easy, My Precious                 For my two wonderful daughters, Angharad and Aeronwy.
5. Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky.                Neil Armstrong's trip to the Moon in 1969. See the story behind this.
6. You Found Out The Hard Way.       Dedicated to the men of Tower Colliery, South Wales, UK.
7. Valley in The rain.                       A cold, wet and windy Monday morning in a South Wales valley town.
8. She Took Me to The river             Friday night at a local disco.
9. The Game is Over.                      Another "love gone wrong" song.
10. Heroes in The Dust.                   We all have our heroes despite their weaknesses. To Che Guevara.
11. Finale.                                     An old Welsh hymn as Blind Willie Mctell might have played it.
