Artist description The solo work of David Johnson is recorded material that falls outside of his main interest, which is producing material for and putting together the modern rock band, The Cursing Birds. In "Twice Told Tales of Two Cities", Johnson states that the 18 song, 2 disc collection of old songs "were written by an old friend, Jonathon Crowe, who passed away before they could become known to the world." Crowe is, of course a pseudonym, and the recordings deal with Johnson's expatriate experience in London at the end of the 1980's in a personal, non-conformist, and literary way, including many references to and reworkings of poetry by significant writers
