Prologue - What's in A Name?

                                     

Grey Wolf                                                              "Shadowulf" - The Johnny Cashbox Martin  Guitar 

          His name is a derivative a Saxon word that translates as "Wolf Counsel" and from a small child Ralph has had a strong affinity with the animal kingdom.

Ralph's tribute to the "Man In Black" continues to gain recognition through performances in clubs, day centres, residential establishments and small theatres.

Echoes Beyond The Door

"Cogito Ergo Sum"

Still at the research stage,  Ralph's latest project is concerned with the role memory plays in our understanding of the world and specifically our place within it.   Its loss  can impair the ability to think rationally and can have disasterous consequences.   While Ralph's previous play "Who Is Leonard Jones?"  used the comic form to explore some key social issues "Echoes Beyond The Door" is a heavy work.  Following the research Ralph has undertaken so far, the piece will focus primarliy on the Alzheimer's condition.

Incarnations is an unlikely musical journey that has interested Ralph for a while; the songs of Lou Reed performed in the style of Johnny Cash

More information about Echoes and Incarnations will appear as they unfold.
