2 new songs? What will they think of next

I have done something while in Addis that I have not done for over 30 years ... write some songs. One is about Addis Ababa and called "The New Flower", which is the meaning of the name of this lovely city. The other is called THO, a ditty using the words "Thank-you, hello, and OK" in about a dozen languages. I played the former from my little digital recorder for the ST when we were in Kenya. I can just hear the haunting lead guitar or washent solos when the 2 songs roll off the electric that I bought in merkato in August.
