Just A Journey (Henman/Harwood Jones)

Posted on October 6, 2026 by admin

The creation of “Just A Journey” began as a deeply spiritual, almost mystical experience. While pieces of the song were being composed, a profound, spine-tingling energy took over. There was a distinct, undeniable feeling that the presence of John Lennon was right there in the room, channeling a message of peace, love, and the terrifying fragility of life.

Posted on August 5, 2020 by admin

There are over … Continue reading →

It had no sound so I added one of own … Continue reading →
