Apr 24, 2021Take a trip on the Realway Railway.
The Gospel Train makes several stops on its journey and reminds us of some characters from the Bible. You could explore their stories for yourselves later on.
These tracks were recorded many years ago. The songs come from a time when Dave was a committed Christian. He has now lost his faith completely, but hopes that some might find these songs enjoyable and, perhaps, useful.

Mar 12, 2021Mary had a little lamb ... well, Mary was a sheep, so you wouldn't expect anything else would you.
Woolly Wanda, Mary's little lamb, would wonder about wandering, and ponder the unknown yonder, (wondering if the grass was better there).
After Wanda had wandered, it turns out that Wanda was fonder of where she had been in the first place!
