Dear Graeham, A friend of mine, whose name is Jocelyn, mentioned to me that an old friend of hers, who died 5 years ago, loved the song "Praise", so I looked up the lyrics and saw that you wrote that song. I remembered that some Canadian lady friend of hers had been ill 12 months ago, so I asked about her as well, not knowing that the two were connected.
Here is Sister Jocelyn's reply. Your song has given great comfort to these people and I wanted to share that with you.
Dear Michael, My friend who died was 77. He didn't have a family, but he had a companion in his later years who cared for him until he died. She is the one who is dying now. Her sister came out from Canada to be with her, and is still here. Thanks for sending the words of "Praise". My friend was especially touched by the words "Resist not when the darkness calls to shine upon your reason", also by "this perfect world" (most people don't see it like that!) and lastly "For every word that was ever said to me" (kindly and unkindly, encouraging and critical, because he used to say that he learned a lot from the words that were said in an unkind or critical way). There's a lot in this song, isn't there? Jocelyn
Abosultely love your songwriting, may you find Peace, Love and Happiness in life's adventures, simply a friend / fan located in Richmond Virginia.....Sincerely
Hi Graeham, It goes without saying that you are one of the great harmony singers of any era. I watched the "full circle" DVD again today and it was with mixed emotions. I love the songs and the performances were superb but I am angry that some people have the hide to misrepresent themselves as something they are not and do so in such a shameless fashion. There is only one LRB and the other is a sham. Keep singing and playing mate.... you and your musical brothers have given me enormous pleasure and inspired my own playing & singing. Peace and good health
Always enjoyed your vocal arrangements, and look forward to your next project for the states
Hi Graham,
I have been a LRB fan since 1977 when i use to get in a band bus and play all the clubs in the north east of England and we use to play Diamantina Cocktail all the way on the journey. Later on i played in a covers band in the early 80's and we use to play about 4 or 5 of your songs and spread the word about LRB (got a few more fans on board). I still play and write songs today and i know that LRB have influenced me in such a big way, particularly your songs (classic melodies). Thank you for giving me some great songs to enrich my musical life.
All the best
Graeham, I just want you to know that to this day, "It's A Long Way There", is at the top of my list of all time favorite songs. A song just doesn't get any more perfect than that. Of course, I'm speaking of the full length version. I first heard the song on a US album rock radio station when LRB's debut came out, so I was introduced to the song as you intended it. Everything about it gets even better with time. From the strings, to the beautiful guitar work, to the incredible vocals...it truly is one of a kind. As a musician, I must tell you that the ending of the song could not be more perfect! I've always loved how it winds down into those moody final notes. I hope you are proud of that song, because there are not many that are as completely perfect as that. I appreciate your work, as a whole, by the way-- it's just that "It's A Long Way There" is, hands down, one of the best songs I've ever heard. Thank you for it!
Just a quick hello, big fan from the early 70's, still enjoy your music today; it's part of my life. thanks
Dear Graeham,
Yesterday the two cd's we ordered "Nautilus" and "The Days Ahead" arrived by post, what a great joy to listen to your music, we follow you from the beginning with the LRB, and every evening we listen now to your music.
Thank you so much for all the pleasure we find in your music.
We wish you and your family all the best and hope for more good music in the future, thank you again.
With love
Hello Graeham, Thank you for "Let It Rain". It's just a completely different level.
It's been playing for 2 days now. I love it!
Kindest Regards
Love the song "Let It Rain". Has an element of the Beatles in the early 70's.
The first time I heard LRB was in the resident's quarters at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in 1979. I was an anaesthetic registrar then, just married with a kid on the way. She is now 28 and very definitely an LRB fan. I was so proud of you guys, it was hard to convince the lofty pommy doctors in that Victorian hospital room that Aussies could do it as well, or even better than them, but the music that was played during that documentary proved it without any doubt.
I still have all your records. I gave away most of my collection, but not LRB, the Beatles, Mamas and the Papas, Bee Gees. I'll get back to your site and buy the latest album.
