    there are always a lot of homeless people in London ( as there are elsewhere) , but this one particular occassion we were there and there just seemed to be so many more than usual.....the mixed emotions you feel when you see them can be unsettling......very sad.
    CD: Common thread   Label: own label

    Story Behind the Song
    Common thread, a whole new concept to acoustic recordings.
    Baz has exceeded every expectation with this little jewel. It’s acoustic, but not just, it’s complete, the guitars are intense, and the occasional bass guitar, cello, xylophone or piano just complete this masterpiece.
    I just received my copy, and played it incessantly since my return from the Faith tour 2002. I can’t get enough!

    My favourite: Dutch Moon. Hehe, well I’ll get to that one…

    The CD starts with a cover: my friend the sun. Nice little guitar intro, light and carefree, summer breeze like song…Baz’s voice sounds a bit rough, it’s that “bluesy gin drenched throat” again. I love it. As opposed to the original there’s a solo in this song, which complements it perfectly. The chorus is very catchy and makes you sing a long. The guitar is built up from two parts…one rhythmic and one solo, Baz does the backing vocals as well...how you do that when playing solo?

    Where’ve you been? Was written for the Sun Devils and features on their CD too. This version is very different, without the electric bits, but as a beauty as the “loud” one. If you consider Baz wrote this song over breakfast… A few little electric guitar bits come in anyway, but they’re almost unnoticeable, perfect blend. Not as powerful as the Sun Devils one, but a beauty nonetheless. More dramatic, but less saddening…

    Rips in my heart: written for the Small town heroes almost 10 years ago, it’s still a song he plays at gigs nowadays. Calm intro, builds up to a heart tearing verse. This song is so full and complete you don’t miss the other musicians, it’s so strange. The guitar chords I’m used to on acoustic songs are mostly very straight forward and on this CD you’ll be surprised as they’re very elaborated and “complex”, nothing’s straight forward here…

    Dutch Moon: I had decided this would be my favourite before I even heard the song! Just because of the title… And, no surprise, it is…not because of the title though. I love the “radio from the 30’s” voice. It starts of with a, nice and relaxed bass intro, then electric guitar solo’s, background singers. I can barely remember the Stranglers version form Shepherd’s bush, heard the Faith tour version, but I can’t wait to hear the finished product on the next Stranglers release; if it makes the CD that is, I think it should. It is a great (Stranglers) song.

    Crime in the city, from Neil Young. Another cover. Vocals are pretty “standard”, the guitar isn’t. I tried my hand at it, gave up!…Lots of rhythmic changes, twists and turns, still a very “naked” song. I like the electric guitar bits, love the acoustic bits, wonder how it would sound as an instrumental…

    Only Women bleed from Alice Cooper. Intro features cello’s, gives a great atmosphere to the song, which I find quite dark and intense. I think it’s another favourite of mine. Again the guitar isn’t from this world. Sounds simple enough, but try and play along!…I’m not sure if so, but somewhere I think I here a piano… after the first, calm verses, the guitar builds up to a very dramatic climax. Of course the lyrics help the song. Very different to the summer breeze like song at the beginning of the CD.

    This CD just proves what a brilliant and versatile guitar player, singer, songwriter Baz really is.

    Lyrics
    RIPS IN MY HEART

    DON’T MAKE ME STAY HERE ALONE
    IT’S BAD ENOUGH I CAN’T GO HOME
    PLEASE JUST ONE MORE NIGHT
    YOU’LL WAKE UP AND I’LL BE GONE

    I’VE BEEN AROUND AND IT SHOWS
    I’VE GOT RIPS IN MY HEART AND HOLES IN MY CLOTHES
    DON’T SAY YOU ARE REALLY THERE FOR ME ANYMORE


    AND IF YOU SAID JUMP I THINK I WOULD
    THOUGH IT’S NEVER DONE ME ANY GOOD
    IF YOU SAID JUMP……….

    DON’T MAKE ME STAY HERE ALONE
    THE LAST OF MY MONEYS’ LONG GONE
    WHY CAN’T YOU SEE
    THIS LIFE I’VE BEEN GIVEN I’D NEVER CHOOSE
