NEVER ENOUGH TIME IS THERE ..

I HAVE AN OLD FRIEND,WE GO BACK 30 YRS .HE GAVE ME MY BIG BREAK INTO THE INTERNATIONAL TOURING AND RECORDING SCENE,BY ASKING ME TO COME ALONG TO AN AUDITION IN THE KINGS ROAD CHELSEA,FOR A NEW BAND CALLED SILVERHEAD ..SINCE THEN I HAVE GONE ON TO MANY GREAT THINGS IN THIS BUSINESS,BUT WE LOST CONTACT SOME TIME AGO DUE TO BOUNDARIES,AND LOST PHONE NUMBERS.WE SAW EACH OTHER JUST TWICE IN OVER 25 YRS WHEN I TOURED THE USA WITH ROBIN IN 1986/7.THEN AGAIN IN 1988.THEN NOTHING TILL ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO WHEN WE CONTACTED EACH OTHER VIA THE INTERNET..SINCE THAT TIME , WE TALK MOST DAYS ,AND YAK ABOUT SONGWRITING, OLD TIMES AND WE LAUGH JUST LIKE WE DID ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.BUT I FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT HE PLAYED ON SPACE ODDITY,THE ACOUSTIC BIT IN THE MIDDLE AND DID HANDCLAPS WITH DAVID BOWIE..HE USED TO PLAY WITH DAVID IN A BAND CALLED THE RIOT SQUAD AND RECORDED MATERIAL WITH HIM TOO,SO I GOT SOME GREAT OLD STORIES OF DAVIDS EARLY LIFE BEFORE ZIGGY,AND SERIOUS FAME ...MY FRIEND IS ALSO A SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHER,DOING MANY CORPORATE JOBS,AND IS OLD SCHOOL 35MM,WITH A GREAT EYE.NONE OF THIS POINT AND SHOOT STUFF ,REAL DEPTH AND PRECISION IN HIS WORK.....HE HAS CONTINUED TO WRITE SONGS AND PLAY AROUND THE L.A AREA FOR YEARS,BUT WE HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY,IN ALONG TIME ,TO GET TOGETHER AND DO WHAT WE DO BEST .PLAY GOOD MUSIC,AND ITS A SHAME AS HES RESPONSIBLE FOR ME STILL DOING THIS WORK I DO .ALSO HE IS ONE OF MY MENTORS AS TO READ A SONG , AND IS ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE IN A LOT OF THE THINGS I DO,EVEN TODAY..

HIS NAME? ROD DAVIES ....ONE OF LIFES DEAREST MEN ,AND A TRUE FRIEND,AND IVE NEVER REALLY HAD THE CHANCE BEFORE TO SAY THANK YOU TO HIM FOR ALL HE DID FOR ME .....
ONE DAY WE WILL RECORD SONGS TOGETHER,AND HAVE A GREAT TIME DOING IT ,CAUSE I WANT THE CIRCLE TO CLOSE,AND THATS ALL THATS MISSING FROM MY CAREER RIGHT NOW MY OLD MATE,......KEEP YA CHIN UP SON ..SEE YA !!!!!!!!!!!!
