With the reposting of my song The Time Of Your Life all the songs I have released so far are back on Spotify, all 26 of them. The silliness is over and the Spotify monolith has relented. It’s taken over 6 months to get them all back up and available, hopefully we’ll have no repetition […]

Continuing my rehabilitation on Spotify the latest song to be back on their site is Just To Be With You, which is a welcome return to sanity for all concerned. I hope you enjoy it…..

I posted a while ago that Spotify in it’s infinite wisdom had decided to arbitrarily take down a number of my songs. Out of the blue my distributor CD Baby emailed me to suggest I might want to put them back up on Spotify. Given I didn’t want them down in the first place that […]

The song I’m talking about is my song Just To Be With You. You can’t listen to it on Spotify. There was a time when you could listen to it on Spotify and lots of people did and then Spotify decided to take it down. The excuse I was given by Spotify was vague, unsubstantiated […]
