To help fill our enforced Covid isolation, I thought I would do a daily acoustic version of one of my songs. Most haven’t been recorded so this is probably their first public outing. Songs from 50 years ago; songs from 2020 and all points in between. And as an extra treat - a different hat each day! Thanks. Colin
