It was about the time that this song was released that Kerry and I first came across David McAlmont while he was being interviewed on ‘Gay Time TV’ which was a late night show presented by Bert Tyler Moore and Rhona Cameron which we were in the habit of watching (and enjoying) when we were ‘resting’ actors and could stay up late! As a result of being a guest on ‘Gay Time TV’ I remember the subject of McAlmont’s sexuality was discussed and I recall that by the time we had finished watching the interview and then listing to this song I was much impressed by the man and his music.
More recently his collaboration with Michael Nyman which produced the magnificent album ‘The Glare’ (which is a series of songs written in the first person whilst assuming various specific characters) has reminded me of his incredible talent and as I have always loved Nyman’s minimalist music as well this is a rare treat however I am sure we will come to some of the songs from that work later.
For now we have ‘Yes’ another song, which I love to play nice and loud in the car and on the headphones on my way to work….
Enjoy….
