My Old Man

My Old Man
I wrote this song about my Granddad; my Father's Father. Granddad Wilde was a wonderful musician who played piano and brass in the RAF band in WW2, and was inspired by the likes of Fats Waller. During the war, he met my Nan and they went on to have many children. Sadly, one of the children, Josephine, died when she was very young. My Grandparents were devastated and my Granddad never recovered - My Granddad gave up his music, and lost much of his passion for life. I never knew the vibrant and musical man my Granddad used to be. I knew him as sweet, introverted, old man of very few words. I owe a lot to my Granddad. He and my Nan went on to have my Dad, who really is the best Dad ever, and I am sure my musical abilities must come from my Granddad too. So, this one is in loving memory of Granddad Wilde.

I would like to say a huge thank-you to all the wonderfully talented individuals I am lucky enough to call my friends, who made this project possible. Thank you for putting your creative hearts into my songs. I dedicate this album to my parents, whom I love more than words could speak or sing.
