What if I had to accept that what I hoped might be so - might be so
And if I were to accept what Ian D Hall has to say in the review I am posting here - along with what Trevor Krueger recently had to say - I might be leaning in that direction But not too far - having become aware how easy it can be to fall over and how hard it can be to get back up
But when Ian writes about you he does it so
well and so encouragingly it is virtually impossible not to fall for what he
has to say!

His review of the KISS DEEP and THE MISSING BEAT is below
You don’t have to pucker the lips in order to
Kiss Deep, you only have touch someone with your mind, your humour and your
lust for life in order to reach them in a way that no amount of amorous thought
can achieve; to feel the embrace of another’s words is not just a measure for
good, it is the affirmation of what you believe more than anything, to be true.
Sheila K Cameron’s latest re-issue of her
albums have come, for now, to a conclusion, a stunning one to finish the time
in the current days ahead and one that really hits the mark in a sea of spot on
and beautifully delivered, arrow like precision, targets.
Kiss Deep, feel the tension and the heartache,
the feeling of pleasure that comes from having allowed the sensuality of life
drift unexpectedly your way and whilst you are there, allow that artist to, in
even the smallest way, change your perception on what is beautiful and what is
pleasing to the senses.
We all remember our first kiss, the slow build
up of expectation that perhaps went wildly adrift, the bumped nose, the
apologies and the sense of elation that came with it for days afterwards and
one that subconsciously we use as a bench mark when comparing others efforts to
titillate our tonsils.
Kiss Deep And The Missing Beat goes
beyond that, it is thrill of the picturesque and one in which control is hard
to shoulder; for Sheila K Cameron, this is the sense of the exquisite, a
collection of songs that gather together the thoughts of a woman who has
metaphorically kissed more than a few hearts; who has emerged from the artistic
relationship with her head held high.
In tracks such as Did I Do Something Wrong Again, No I Don’t See
Lizzie Anymore, As You Wrapped The String Around Me, Beneath The Apple Tree and Let’s Put Love In The Back Seat-For A While, Ms.
Cameron takes the art of kissing deeply to another level, it is more than
falling in love, it is the desire to just keep hearing more.
Kiss Deep And The Missing Beat is a sensuous album, a
beautiful point of creative poetry set to lyrical and musical attractive cool,
Kiss Deep, remember the first time you felt the pangs of love and then explore
further; for love is only a kiss away.
Ian D. Hall
