Yesterday I was busy writing a song for my fourth grandchild and first granddaughter, Romie, who is a real cutie. I have written and recorded a song for all the grandsons to date. It’s become a tradition. But recently their mum says they’ve been asking “why hasn’t Romie got a song?”.

That was all the inspiration I needed. And after raising 5 sons and 5 fosters sons ourselves, the arrival of Romie after yet another 3 boys meant, perhaps inevitably, that the opening line of the song is: ”In a land of boys”.

Every song is a joy to write. But the ones for the special people in our lives are the most enjoyable and rewarding of all.
