I settled in my apartment on the corner of Gardner and Oakwood, and decided not to have too much stuff and keep my life minimalistic. I had all I needed for now. My computer, a guitar, recording equipment, a bed and a kitchen table. And Mr Bonzai. My little Silver Wolksvagen Beetle. Many lyrics were born there, thoughts and plans for the future. Some fulfilled, others still waiting.
I continued working down at the Nightbird Studio and David Gamson (Scritti Politti) came along. He made 2 wonderful productions of "Don´t look Down" and "Surrender" amongst other things...David is a master dude!!

The following months I had a blast. Life is a roller coaster ride, yes...but mostly full of good stuff. I met and became friends with such great people both in and outside the hotel. Countless stories and wonderful memories. Jason Rowe was recording downstairs and both me and Daphna Dove were doing backups...Little did they know back then that they would get married a few years later.):)

Days went by just hanging, writing and spending time with wonderful people. You could say I was collecting impressions, experiences and inspiration as that is what life is about for me. I just felt like being home. A small fish in a big pond but still strong and determined. The album was far from ready but I had to give time to the process. And so I did. I spent my days writing and hanging....
