Hey guys, thanks for the add. Just thought I would share this with you all.

Better Then - FREE download

The inspiration behind this song, is the loss of my brother, Andile James Makiwne, who died in a car accident in '06. I know that there are people who lost someone they loved through street crime, accidents, wars, and death as a whole that will relate to what I felt when I lost my brother. I kept this song to myself for years but hope this acoustic performance of it would touch someone. ,,

You can download the song for FREE on

Hello I was reading this months "The Liberal" and was very moved by your writing. Thank you... and I hope you are well.

For anyone who hasn't read the Liberal Nii's words from Ballast V are as follows,

Quite simply, genetic memory made metaphor, musical time stretched like currents, songs escaping to ribbon the sky; like a whipped hem of waves laying claim to the shore.

Hi Nii,

Daydreaming on the tube nr Bond Street the other day,
I caught sight of one of those 'Poems on the Underground'
printed on the wall in the carriage.

I thought 'What a wonderful poem! Where did that come from?

It surely wasn't written in London!

It was called 'TIN ROOF'
Only when i looked for the author,
did I realise it was your piece!

I'd love if you'd drop by my page and quote a little bit for all my visitors!

Bless you
:-) Anna
