The songs which were written in Masset
were recorded on a reel to reel tape recorder in three different locations: a house just before the intersection of Collinson
and Harrison a trailer on Delkatla and the old Indian Affairs house on Harrison
Three of the songs can
be heard on the web site at They are: THE HOUSE WITH THE WINDOWS
REMEMBERING MR TOAST and
WHERE THE LAST TIDE RUNS
The arrangements are by Wild Biscuit Music www.wildbiscuit.com
They are also on the EP MORE LIKE A RIVER THAN A ROAD and this is available
as a download on Bandcamp at
The song which is playing in the background and which features
the garden of the house on Harrison is entitled IT'S ONE OF THOSE DARK NIGHTS
This was arranged long after my time
in Masset by Miles Jackson of Ma-Me-O Beach http://www.ma-me-o.com/
It can be heard and downloaded at
A song inspired by the war experience of Alex Rutherford - a long time Masset
resident - and entitled MR MOON: I'M WORKING AGAINST TIME can be heard as a lyric video on you Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFe1NSXR8SM

BALANCING THE REQUEST TO BE GOOD
and CUSTTAD
It was also through my experiences with the
children I knew in Masset and Old Massett that I began the work which was subsequently written about in the book
Balancing
The Request To Be Good
And following on from its publication came the development of Custtad
an approach to supporting
children who are unsettled
in a mainstream elementary school setting
For years I have held to
the idea of returning the gift
but have not yet found a way to achieve this Information on Custtad is available at www.custtad.com
There is also a link on the home page of this site
The book is available from Amazon

Many of the photographs taken during my time in Masset have been retained
but only one painting
is still in existence
This was painted using acrylic paint on hardboard
and it is on the side of an outbuilding
in Tlell
