Yesterday saw the second anniversary of the release of Walk Between Worlds. Of course it was the day that Jim and Charlie appeared at the HMV in Argyle Street for an album signing. I was so, sooo nervous! Lol. Silly, really, as I had met them both before already, but the more it goes on…

A song that makes you think about life. I wish we could treat each other better.
Oh, heaven help me! I’ve found the glitch preset on my editing app! I am going to Walk Between Worlds the f*** outta EVERYTHING! Lol
