Message In The Bottle
A whole quarter of a century before David
Attenborough's BLUE PLANET II arrived, this song - occasioned
by a visit to a seemingly pristine beach in Mexico - was my
take on the problem of our 'throwaway civilization' and
'global pollution'. I'd love to say that times have changed
and things are better but; sadly; only one of those statements
is true. Listen to Message
In The Bottle here.
Catching up - very late in the day - with modern technology: herewith is a sampling of some of my performances(over the past decade and more); which various people have captured and mounted; on the, ubiquitous, video streaming website.
