1. A Man Who Wasn't; 2. Sylvan Catch; 3. Peas with Honey; 4. One Fine October Morning; 5. A Little Bit Wrong
Five short song settings of five nonsense poems (three anonymous, two credited), which reflects my childhood in New Zealand. In colonial countries, a love of the absurd and the enjoyment of wordplay are paramount -- an inheritance from Great Britain. The genesis of this work, "Sylvan Catch', was written as a student assignment in 1987. All the other songs were written on one day in September, 2006.
