NEW BOOK OUT NOW!
The Arrogance Of Man
For The Love of Ray
Volume 3
A book by Spike a.k.a Gilbert Holderness
The action continues in this third volume of my series For the love of Ray. Happily entrenched in the comfort of their return our friends are forced to rally themselves against a series of mysterious threats. Thrust upon them from the oddest of angles, worlds collide, darkness ascends and death comes to overshadow all that is known.
Wow, I made it once again. I’m not really sure where this is going but it started out as an alternate ending to my original work. I hope you enjoyed it though. The verdict on this writing thing is still out for me, I don’t really know if I enjoy the whole process. The thrill of not knowing where the story will go or end up is what I like the most. Unless you happen to sell something you’re always left wondering if the time spent was worth the effort. Again, I guess that’s up to you.
I feel there’s another volume or two to be written in this set. Dark days are ahead with all of it leading up to an ultimate clash of good verses evil. When and weather that happens is beyond me. I’ll take a break and then we’ll see. In the spring I hope to record another CD, maybe after that.
I turned fiftyish during this process and to my own surprise I feel pretty fantastic as an old man. Music, the passion of my youth is still with me and I take that as a true blessing. It lifts my soul and still gets my emotions going every time.
Life is good people, cherish the ones you love and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.
They tell you what you want,
They tell you what you need,
B
And still not be complete.
Peace and love, by for now: Spike

GIL HOLDERNESS
Hi, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Gil Holderness and I have been writing songs for the past thirty years. Over this time I have been in and out of bands, playing on my own and have always had a need to speak my mind within the choice of my words. My music if needed would straddle the lines between Country, Folk and Rock. Some of my favorite song writers are Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, James Taylor, John Hiatt, Neil young and of course John Fogerty.
I recently went into the studio and recorded some new material live. What you find here is an attempt to showcase my writing talent. This old world is an album of ten songs in their rawest form. Selected upon the thread of theme each one was crafted with the idea of making a statement to the listener; be it about this old world or the priceless gift of love. Going forward I plan to release more material as it is recorded. I hope that you enjoy what you hear and maybe someone might wish to recorded one or two of these and give them the treatment they surly deserve.
Words have always been my thing. I’ve written poetry, tons of songs and even two novels which I hope to publish one day. I’m in the process of editing my first book at this moment and should have it ready for you all by the end of next year.

Thanks for listening. Check back from time to time and I’m sure you’ll find something new.
