My brand new album ‘How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean’, is out now! Listen here: joan.lnk.to/howdidthishappen
I was at the rehearsal today.
I heard the music brought alive by the choir for the first time and there is nothing quite like it.

I got up early this morning and the sky looked like this.
Don't you love mornings like these quiet, calm, and full of colour.
What’s your favourite time of day?

Which landmark would you like to be beside when the sun is rising I've chosen Big Ben in London. Iconic!

Which do you prefer, sunrise or sunset. Me I like sunrise because I love to see the day begin.

I've played Poughkeepsie with Donald McLean but I didn't do the Sunrise Stroll over the Hudson. The bridge is the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge. Next time.

I've got to admit I never thought of Folkestone as a special place.
I visited Folkestone the other day. It's a special place 🤟 You need to visit.

This isn't my photo but I've taken images like this on my tours of America. These cacti grow BIG. There is nothing like a morning drive through the desert with the sun just rising.

This image makes me think of holidays and waking up at sunrise to just laze about for the rest of the day. Bliss.

This makes me think of the sun rising. The dew on the ground and Strauss. It's actually nice to walk barefoot on the early morning grass before the sun dries it.

Pete Murray turned 100 yesterday, what an incredible milestone! Congratulations, Pete. I have so many great memories of being on his radio shows. He was always so supportive of the creative people he interviewed, and his work has introduced many many artists to the public. What a guy!

The music for this Paris sunrise is my instrumental track on my Consequences album from 2021.
I wrote this very much thinking about the sunrises I have enjoyed.

I saw this beautiful rainbow yesterday. "I'm happy and I'm jumping over rainbows. Dressed in yellow got balloons and having big fun fun, do you want some". Yes I'm quoting my own lyrics.

It's so sad to hear of the death of Rick Davies who died on Saturday. I did my first big support tour with Supertramp in 1975. All of the band Rick, Roger, John, Bob, Dougie were so nice to me. Thanks to all of the band for giving me such great memories. RIP Rick.
