The Ballad Of Clyde Burt

The Ballad Of Clyde Burt is a cross-Atlantic song writing collaboration with Jan Risher, a woman whom I have never met.

We should never let technology become the cart that drives the horse. But it is amazing how the Internet has enabled connections that would never have been previously possible. And, at its best, when it enables these kind of positive collaborations and friendships, it is a thing of wonder.

I like my “village”. The place where I stay. The home I live in. And I always want to have these physical, geographical roots. We all need that I believe.

But I’m delighted that these days stories can be shared and spread, in a way that they never were before. I’m glad I, a Scottish based songwriter, can play a part in telling the story of a young farmer from Louisiana.
