Album Notes

Songs inspired by life situations: relationships, stories heard - real or imagined, events probable and improbable, reflections about the past, thoughts about what could or may be ……… Life can be sad, happy, good, bad or involve intense combinations of all of these human states. Life really depends a lot on how you use what you are given. I hope that the music reflects this!

The nine songs that ended up on “Sugar Cane Road” came from a batch of about 25 recorded songs – some acoustic solo recordings and some rehearsed and recorded with the musicians listed in the credits. The songs that did not make it onto this CD may surface on future projects – we shall see. Some are being performed live.

For Morena with love xxxxxx – Terry Christian - Tokyo, 2009

Songs written in Turkey, England, South Africa & Mauritius – 1999 to 2004.

"OLD FASHIONED COWBOY" - A DVD:
A documentary film of Terry Christian as he rehearses and records songs from "Sugar Cane Road" and plays one final concert before leaving Mauritius to live in Tokyo, Japan.

The film also documents the perspectives of the Mauritian musicians involved in the project, interviews with family members and a trip down memory lane, which details Terry’s experiences with music and life in general.

Many thanks to all of the above for their work, spirit and enthusiasm in making the recording, filming and publishing of the CD "Sugar Cane Road" and the DVD "Old Fashioned Cowboy" possible – Merci!
