Closet Pyromaniac

With two and a half house fires and a forest fire under my belt (and a few other close shaves besides) my brother (pictured left) had a theory that my subconscious lit a fire when I needed to have a change in direction in my life. Back in 1996, inspired by my most recent room combustion, he wrote this song about me: Closet pyromaniac

 (It starts quietly) It give me a warm glow to know I have a song written about me, even if that song suggests a slightly destructive craziness - as portrayed well in the song. P.S.I love my little brother. He's pretty amazing. Are sister's allowed to say that about brothers or is that counter-culture and akin to boasting? He's gone on to play and sing swing/jazz with many other musicians since.....here's a fine perfromance of one of his songs 'Hoogly Googly Man' with his ever changing band 'Harry's tricks'

  1. In fact, get yourself down to the Chat Noir Club in Brighton (once a month) for an amazing night. It's like stepping back in time to the 20s/30s. Great dressing up, great bands, great music, great atmosphere, great dancing, and all in a seaside ballroom. Guardian voted it in top 5 clubs of the year. Oh, and the little trilbied guy on the vinyl decks is the brother xxx

  6. So, what you are saying is that you only start fires in the closet? Brilliant, it is a small out of the way inconspicuous space, giving an eventual conflaguration a fighting chance of not being discovered until too late.

    Kidding.

  8. Ken re: promotion, keep watching...

    Which band is it Molly, I've missed two so far, and I haven't been to one you've been at, so I'm guessing I missed them.

  9. Hi Eric - you are taking the metaphor into new realms. Steady

    HI Ken D - I think so...he's very creative and a talented musician....he plays much better now - after years of performing. Norwich deson't have a mountain.

    Mr T - I think he was called the lost sock club or something at that point. It was possibly not called Bonanafana then - it was hosted in the upstairs of what used to be St Andrew's Tavern - before it moved.

  10. As a sign of gratitude on how my husband was saved from Pyromania, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered Pyromania Disorder and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from Pyromania Disorder. and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Pyromania Disorder. I never imagined Pyromania Disorder has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one month he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Pyromania Disorder has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony
