Please say a prayer for my best friend and mentor, Sal Joseph, who passed away on Thursday, June 24th, 2010. *****IMPORTANT!!!!! PLEASE NOTE: THE SONG "BABES IN THE WOOD" IS DUE TO GO ON SALE IN THE BRIGHTON, UK BRANCHES OF VIRGIN RECORDS AND HMV IN OCTOBER 2007 TO COINCIDE WITH THE 21st ANNIVERSARY OF THE HORRIFIC MURDERS OF NICOLA AND KAREN...DAWN SINCLAIR AND I ARE HAPPY TO DONATE OUR ROYALITIES TO THE CAUSE OF CHANGING LAWS APPERTAINING TO THE CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILES AND CHILD-MURDERERS. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME OR DAWN SINCLAIR THROUGH THE USUAL SOUNDCLICK CHANNELS. THANK YOU.***** Ron and Dawn were recently contacted by Paul Williams, world renowned singer/songwriter/actor, who had this to say about the upcoming release of their song, "The Babes In The Wood": "Every act of kindness is a little bit of love we leave behind. I hope Ron and Dawns song touches someone enough to jog a memory and provide the information that will end this mystery. The tragedy remains. We can only fight to keep our own children safe , and to lovingly remember Nicola and Karen once ran joyfully together. Just 'Babes in the Wood". - Paul Williams My first CD, simply entitled "Ron Gletherow" is now available on CD Baby. The second, entitled "From England to New England will be available there very shortly. This first album is also available to download digitally from CD Baby and iTunes. ****PLEASE SEE THE LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO CONTACT ORGANIZATIONS FOR HELPING KATRINA VICTIMS**** ------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm Ron Gletherow, originally from England, where I played both solo, and with various bands for over 25 years before moving to Connecticut, USA. I'm a singer/songwriter who plays guitar and piano. I sometimes co-write with my wife, Meg, and sometimes with Debra Foster, my good friend and great lyricist from Nashville, Tennessee, plus the very talented Dawn Diamond from Scotland, Dawn Sinclair from England and David William Bethune from Canada. I generally do all my own recording, play all the instruments and do all the vocals (and make all the mistakes, LOL!). My one claim to fame (hurrah!) is that I appeared on British national TV in the show "Stars In Their Eyes" as my idol, Jim Croce. I've loved Jim's music for so many years, and it was so great to "be him", if only for a day, singing and playing to a viewing audience of over 10 million! In live sets, I sometimes perform solo, and sometimes as part of a duo, "Maggie's Guitar" along with my wife, Meg. Actually, that band name was given to us by our friend, and brilliant songwriter, Paul Williams (Yep, he of "Bugsy Malone" fame and writer of great songs for the Carpenters, Barbra Streisand, to name but a few). You see, Meg was very shy about appearing with me on stage so I had to "bribe" her by buying her a new guitar. Paul thought that was hilarious. Take your time and listen to some of my songs if you will. I hope you like them, 'cos then my living has not been in vain!! Take care now! ------------------------------------------------- Also check out these links to some great artists and good friends of mine on Soundclick:- Sal Joseph: Great musician, my good friend and mentor.
