  • There was once a classic air raid on a terrorist base in Zambia; it was called “Operation Gatling” it was a reprisal attack to avenge the shooting down of two of Rhodesia’s civilian airliners. I wrote this song for the pilots, crews and commanders of the operation. (thanks to the Rhodesian Air Force for permission to use the “live” cockpit recordings).

      Yes. That has happened to me too, more than once. It saddens me that my own country was on the wrong side of history in this case (too). The fall of Rhodesia is a disgrace to the entire West, as several generations here failed to pay attention to their true interests. My heart cries for Rhodesia and the loss of so many great men. A similar fate seems to await us in Europe and possibly the US as well, unless we start learning our lesson and change course.

    with a stable currency, a thriving economy, plenty of industry and agriculture, railroads airport schools, hospitals, universities streets, plenty of electricity with air conditioning, clean, running water, fully stocked store shelves, plenty of petrol at all the filling stations no trash on the streets, no graffiti on the buildings and then suddenly everything crumbled. I wonder what happened.
