SWEET SWYAMBHU SUNRISE
Swyambhunath is a magical holy hill only half an hour by foot from the heart of old Kathmandu, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike and alive with mobs of cheeky monkeys.
It was here that I met my dear friend Desmond, an Irish blues musician who has lived in these parts for over four decades. He is a wonderful character, with his long white pony tail, panama hat and signature Fender Stratocaster, still blasting out Hendrix numbers in the bars of Kathmandu after all these years. We played some music together and he inspired me to write this song, which I then recorded right there at his Swyambhu studio. I have set some of my photos behind it for all to enjoy.
