  • Loose Ends

    I’ve been researching the life of Anthony Glass for over a year, and so far I’ve got more questions than answers. A bizarre collection of coincidences, synchronicity and luck, or are there larger forces at work?
    Since the album launch I’ve had more time to start filing and organising the resources I’ve managed to lay my [...]

Some through the comments section of this site, some directly through email. All are reporting the same thing – that they’ve found [...]

  • Discovered Recording

    Yesterday a cassette tape was pushed through my door – I don’t know exactly when, it was lying on my doormat when I arrived home from work. The cassette was unmarked,  and the envelope was blank.
    Although the sound quality is very poor, you can just about make out what appears to be music. I’m not [...]
