Brieve
Morison

Fucked from the start.

On the twenty seventh of October 1950 In Exeter’s St.Bartholomew’s Diosocen Home for Unmarried Mothers, many miles from Liverpool where he was conceived by his philandering father, husband and father of two, and his mother Rosemary Morison a Liverpudlian Scot. cf Wear a red rose Track 10 Love in North album. The one R in Morison denoting a strong connection with the sea, a Liverpudlian Scot. cf Wear a red rose track 10 Love in the North album brievemorison.com

Thus began the never ending fuck up. Returning to Liverpool to a children’s home minutes from his parent‘s abodes. Rosemary’s church, going. Scottish family refused to countenance a bastard in the family and she was ordered to have the bastard adopted. His father being the literary kind named him Brieve to do a fuck you to Rosemaey’s family for it means The Royal Decree of a Scottish King.

So, at six months Brieve went North to Barrow-in-Furness the arsehole of the universe so local wit and wisdom had it. Being an addition to a middle class pair of teacher’s ambition to join the ranks of their child blessed friends. Brieve’s name was changed to David. He was to all intents and purposes the perfect middle class child. Polite and compliant.

Whatever standard childhood phases he went through they were adequately suppressed. Childish anger at frustration was not tolerated. Corporal punishment was introduced into his upbringing at about the age of 5. His adopted father Bill, a boxer in his youth, was the teacher to whom children were sent for the cane. He brought this method home. Using a slipper or his hand he admonished Brieve regularly. At 16 admonished him by knocking him out, he woke to his mother kicking him in the stomach and with every word she poke kicked him hard. She said “ Don’t you ev..er raise your hand to your father again “

Of the years before this punishment regime Brieve has little memory. Climbing mountains in the Lake District are however a distinct memory. At the age of 7 his adopted Grandfather told him to fuck off down the garden and smoke a Senior Servive cigarette and stop asking questions. His grandfather saw the battle of the Somme and recognised stress when he saw it.

Brieve did not inhale on this occasion but learned to for otherwise there was no appreciable reduction of stress. Why his parents did not stop him is a mystery, perhaps they saw, they like grandpa, the necessity for it.

Mountain climbing continued and by the age of 16 Brieve had climbed all the peaks in the formation.
At the age of 7 he became enamoured of music playing the drop from chorus to bridge on a 78 over and over. His parent’s musical interest lay in the direction of classical and opera,both forms left Brieve cold. Stealing money from his father’s overcoat and mother’s unguarded purse he was able to continue with his smoking habit which he supplemented by sucking his thumb, a sure stress reliever. His school chums collected wool from their jumpers and donated it to Brieve’s own tobacco tin supply. The wool he tucked under his nose and rolled it around there.

Brieve had his own room from which in the early hours, he raided the kitchen taking cans of baked beans to bed which he ate cold from the can stashing the empties beneath the bed. The beatings continued unabated.

And one sad occasion after upturning a jar of raspberry jam on the table he was told that “ We didn’t have have you and we can send you back “. To where exactly added to the stress Brieve was now experiencing daily.

He learned how to enact the moment of death in an actorly way, dying many times in the day anywhere. The method of his death was a source of constant inspiration to Brieve.
“Auntie Susan “ arrived with presents and Brieve innocently and naively asked if they were for him. He was hit resoundingly about the head and ordered to his room. No sixth birthday for bad boys.

Smoking at least 10 cigarettes a day he continued to deal with the damned stress. At the age of 7 he became addicted to yet another stress relieving habit. 50’s soft pornography. Stockings and heels and maybe a little bit of breast.

Although he did not realise it he was searching for his mother, labelled a tart and a loose woman by her parents. He hid them in his sleeping bag in a cupboard taking them out only to destress when Mrs Flatman came in the evenings when his parents were out to care for him. Musta been a paedophile. By the age of 9 the beating implement had changed into handy strips of formica much more painful.

Rubbing his right hand nicotine yellow index and middle fingers against the rough wash house wall removed most of the tell tale stain as yet unnoticed by his parents. Thieving and stress relief continued unabated. The search for his mother also. I wish you were my mother was his verbal plea when he came staring fixedly at the model’s form. Absolutely everything was wrong the only thing that was working out was that he was never caught at his delictions.

Summers in Barrow were full of beach excursions and countryside rambles. Everywhere Brieve would light fires extolling his cub cub scout skills. Before the summer came there was bob-a-job week. Any amount of gardening for one shilling. Child labour really, disguised as good deeds ha. Some years before the family had moved from Norland Avenue to Thorncliffe Road, a bigger house with a garden where the two cultivators could indulge themselves. Brieve ate cream crackers on his cowboy rides in the garden mimicking the real thing.. Or so he thought they were beans and hardtack. He loved them both equally.

At one penny a year pocket money his 11th birthday was a relief to get 2 shillings a week. Added to his thievery he has enough to buy cigarettes and pornography. How the shopkeepers of these comoditiies dealt with their conscience is a mystery, perhaps profit is the only true motivator. Fully equipped for his troubled life Brieve Brieve became 12. With enough money and nowse he was now ready to hear his hero. Bob Dylan’s 1st album was released to Brieve’s father’s “ He can’t sing “ and Brieve’s great pleasure. Shortly after came album number two an even more amazing album music that had a story. Brieve was hooked on his Bike rides to

School and other events he tracked time by singing the lyrics Desolation Row 11 minutes 18 seconds phrasing and annunciation fascinated Brieve.

Finally recognising some modicum of talent his father bought him a classical guitar and a teacher. When Brieve realised he could play Blowin’ in the wind on three chords he immediately abandoned the boring lessons being anyways unable to understand the theory. He just wanted to make music .

a souvenir from is holiday in Las Rosas close by Barcelona where he began to love the Spanish.
Failing his 11 Plus Exam found Brieve in The Technical School which pupplied Vickers Armstrong Weapons Factory with skilled labourers. The School his father taught in provided the unskilled labour. His father beating them into submission.

Brieve began to attend the weekly Folk Club at the Abbey Tavern. Everyone who wanted to took a turn and sang a song. There was much variety. Brieve at one meeting sang Been on the road so long. He was complimented on his rendition by Paul Bryden who was the doyen of Contemporary Folk in the club singing Chinese White by the Incredible String Band. He told Brieve it was a hard song to sing and that he sang it well. This gave Brieve the confidence to try Dylan’s Masters of War being already a pacifist the song meant something to him.The polite applause went down well.

A patron of the Folk Club was Jane. And one Sunday whe Brieve was calling a friend on Walney Island Jane was on the switchboard. Hello she said want me to be your girlfriend.
Brieve thought this a good idea and said so. So began his second love affair. His first with Marylin a failure because he was not ready to make love to her and she sought solace elsewhere. In Millom. Cf Love in the North track 1 Love in the North Album

Jane met Brieve at the Folk Club and wooded him. The truth about Jane was that she had had a child which was adopted by a Lord. She was beautiful and sexy, intelligent and adventurous. After a year of courting she stripteased for him and they made love. He asked how it was and Jane Said “ It was alright and it’ll get better “. Kind understanding words. Jane Said Track 4 The poetry of the Beat album

She loved music and had many records, masterpieces really and Brieve was duly influenced. She also told him that she would make him harder and replace his naivety with worldliness. Brieve knew he was onto a good thing and for once did’t fuck it up.ll the while Jane was having affairs with sailors and a musical Geordie. Brieve and Jane got engaged and though no date was det it was tacitly agreed that it would be after he graduated from Art College in Geordie land. Unfortunately after an afternoon party in Jane’s “the Elliscales “ house he flet sand the ran back. Finding no Jane downstairs he enquired of her sister as to where she might be. Sis pointed upstairs. Brieve thought maybe Jane was listening to her music but on opening the door found her in bed with another. Fully dressed it has to be admitted. He refrained from

slapping her and asked for the £20 ring back Jane threw it on the tiles. No more mad partied on the beach with wealthy dentists and plus 4 cans of crap beer. No more music only his own.He moved to Newcastle and she followed after to work in the GPO telephone exchange.

They shared a flat near the Civic Centre with two other residents. Mike from Barrow,who Brieve met hitch-hiking to see Jane and who offered him a lift to the door. Brieve offered Mike the share for being so kind. And co-resident David from Newcastle. David had two suits on the never never that he had not paid for. One for work and the other for fighting. He owned a BSA Goldflash 650 twin and had attached a side-car in fact a drawer for that’s what it was. Brieve interest in motor bikes had begun when his older Barrow friends had them doing the ton on the Abbey Flats.They wore Rockers leather jackets with studs bieng the adormnment that saved the skin in a sliding crsh. Although Brieve had no leather jacket he was, he decided, a Rocker. He bought a pair of winkle pickers only to be ordered to return them by his father. Working for the Council over summer and not understanding a word of what was said over lunch by his Geordie workmates he bought a 650 Goldflash and side- car from a chippy who he was paired with. When the Time and Motion fellas came to assess the work force the workforce worked slowly thereby after the study ended sand the T and M fellas gone the could fill their time sheets in the morning and go to work at Rowtrees sweetie factory in the afternoon. Proud of his acquisition to Brighton Grove opposite the Victoria Hospital and bought his weekly indulgence of 20 Capstan Full Strength. A worthy nicotine provider.

On his weekly drives to see Jane he learned quickly of biking. Felling the timing case witth his ungloved right he felt it hot and stoped to let it cool. Soon he learned the phrase “Running Temperature”

He wore no helmet, a warm non proofed jacket and jeans. When it rained he got wet.

Jane returned from a holiday down South with tales of just being attacked and almost rapped in the street as she neared home. Sympathy overcame his anger about this latest sailor. Jane started to bring her pickups home and fucked them in another room saying to her lover don’t worry about him. Dunlop, Brieve’s black kitten fell off the bathside into the hot water steamed like the proverbial scolded cat and left the house for ever. Strange coincidences dogged Brieve’s life.

After a year’s Foundation Year Brieve was told to loose the black paint and he went to Cardiff College of Art and Technology. Howard Gardens. His trusty BSA took him there and to Penarth to reside in a family home as a lodger. Part of the rent was to work Saturdays for the father Howell. On one Saturday the floor of the building they were working in gave way and Brieve ended up with a 6 inch nail through his foot. He left Penarth and moved into the attic of his

peer’s house. He fashioned the space into a livable room except that during his night time sleep walking he would frequently find himself standing on the glass skylight on the floor.

Sunday vegetable curries were the main meal of the week, platters full, they all ate their fill and smoked their spliffs while they digested the massive meal. Each morning Brieve would fashion spliffs for his friends and ply them in the waking morning.

Annie came into his life, a Foundation Student a year behind Brieve but after a singularly bad sexual encounter with her she transferred her affections to Terry who in a year or so married her. Brieve’s time at college was spent on his Vellocette Venom 500 single, and chasing the girls. He seduced Julia in Foundation even though she had a boyfriend in her hometown and another elsewhere.

Brieve drove his bike North in the summer vacations and winter’s vacations Aqua planing his Venom flying two inches off the road. He spent the time riding and girl hunting and singing in the Folk Clubs. He had partaken of LSD that year and while standing in the spacious garden of Dane Ghyll thought it might be good to take a tablet here. His mother screamed out his adopted name from the backdoor and he thought better of it. Returning to Cardiff in October Julia dropped him. He took up with Rowan Julia’s friend. A comely girl eager to please.

Brieve at this time had not written any songs. But he started and stood up to sing We’re all people here to no noticeable interest in the canteen.Not put off he continued to write drivel.
For his third year he moved to a house with his friends and Nigel Nigel’s first voiced opinion about Brieve was “ He’s dangerous.” He and Nigel shared the penthouse. Nigel was half Ukranian and had a very different mode of living compared to Brieve. For example, to end an argument he would simply turn around and walk away. Deeming it a waste of The Life as he termed it. Showing that he would not waste anymore of his time on it. They became firm friends and lived happily together.

One day Brieve met Jackie and they began an affair, she being married to a Welsh folksinger.
One early dawn he broke into the house and came upstairs to find his wife in bed with Brieve. He flung the cup of orange juice at Brieve after being cordially offered it by Brieve he then proceeded to throw his wife over the bannister.

The owner of the house threw open a ground floor stock room full of games and toys saying take what you want. We all did. Metal Models of British Battleships, Russian Tin clockwork toys. All Forties and Fifties gear. After graduating with a pretty poor pass courtesy of a benign tutor John Brieve left the scene of his latest mother search and headed to Hereford to live in the house of Doctor Robey whose daughter had attended Art College with Brieve, to earn his keep

he worked as a labourer in Bulmer’s Cider Brewery humping bags of pectin.Which grain the birds ate and exploded in the warehouse roof after partaking of water to slake their thirst. Feathers fell down through the dusty air. In this interlude Brieve met Hilary, a sixteen year old neighbour. They fell in platonic love. The first true love for Brieve. She was wise quirky and intelligent. He wrote one of his best songs about her. Circles and Straight Lines on brievemorison.com The Poetry of the Beat album last track.

Her severe darkroom vomiting migraine ended the relationship as she pondered on the wisdom of making love with Brieve. And taking daily the liberating birth control pill.
Brieve graduated from unkilled to skilled forklift truck driver but had so many collisions they said that when they’d found another driver he was sacked.

He left the house and moved into a cottage owned by the Robey’s. With only candle light and calor for cooking Brieve lived by the hours of day an night and worked on Old Joe’s Farm. Then one night he saw a massive moon rise over the hill and decided to leave for London to stay at Naomi’s home. Another fellow student. She was a member of Agitprop, a true revolutionary born in the middle of the Atlantic of Native Indian and Irish parents. Red haired and fiery she offered Brieve a bare room. He, having little, option took possession. A flat mate wrote a diary in Spare Rib Magazine about her triangular relationship. Brieve tried his hand in the Capital’s Folk Clubs. One run by Peggy Seeger gave Bieve the opportunity to perform Lousy Night No Seeds to Sow track 10 Trouble in the Pueblo brievemorison.com after which rendtition Brieve was asked by Seeger if he wrote it. Nothing transpired.

The bare room became no longer spare and Brieve retired to Hereford. The status quo maintained he decided to enrol on the Art Teacher’s Training Degree. This took place in Reading and in the summer Brieve had struck up a sexual relationship with Alayne (with a Y she admonished. ) She’s with him track 7 The Poetry of the Beat Album.Alayne the daughter of his mother’s teaching friend was sexually adept and had, in background ,a boyfriend named Jack. She shared a house with 6 student dancers from the Laban School of Movement. Primadonas to a fault.
Married they were all engaged in affairs, all of them. Brieve took the train to college each day writing a precursor to this attempt a green successfully graduated. Here in Redaing he met Clive and Beefy, beefy being the dog. They became friends although Clive never chase to Weybridge home of stockbrokers and bankers.
One night when the moon was bright Brieve awoke from his sonambulance in the bsackgsarden to Jane screaming his adopted name. At the finish of his Diploma which pass allowed him to teach are in Secondary Scools.Alayne with a Y went back to Jack. And took up teaching in Ulverston.

Brieve moved into a dreary flat in Islintgon. Which Y had rejected weith a “ I’m NOT living HERE “. No bathroom a shared toilet down 3 fights.

Terry and Carol lived in the basement. Very typical London people, friendly, helpful and interested in you.

He drove his 1950 Vincent Comet 500 single to Work at Dageaham Priory Secondary School. Here for two years he was the apprentice art teacher under the tutelage of Bob ,his Welsh head of department. Brieve without asking permission taught perspective to his children but Bob said not until their third year would they be enlightened. This and a Teacher’s Strike prompted Brieve to Quit. Brieve’s idea to resolve the dispute was for teachers to withdraw their teaching role and offer only care. He gave his rep the idea but it was not transmitted upwards or acted on.

He drove home from Dagenham for the last time and embarked on a musical career. Joining forces with John and Pete they formed the Idlers band The Idler’s Album brievemorison.com catalogue section. Playing in the underground for practice and pennies and bars for fees. Along with the dole this provided sustenance. During one of their tours they came to Holland and deluged by drugs they performed in some of the classiest venues in the city of Amsterdam. Camping to conserve money Brieve was accosted by Martine, a French girl. A relationship began and she invited Brieve to come to her parent’s farm .

Brieve duly drove the Comet down the Route National to Montauban. Where after reinterpreting the name of the rendezvous to a Cafe d’ Europe not Cafe of Rope he was greeted by Martine ,her brothers and sisters. They took Brieve’s baggage to the farm while Martine informed Briewve they were lodging in The Hotel Splendid that night. Come the morning and the drive to the Farm Brive was introduced to Martine;s father who spat on the ground declaring “ Putin Inglais. “the reason being his daughter had spent the night making love to an Englishman defying him on both counts. Martine’s mother was more forgiving but it took Breieve two years to gain her father’s trust and respect. For you track 9 Real now Baby Album.

Punk was in vogue and Brieve wanted the Idlers to follow that path. John and Pete were not in accord. So the Iders gained Phil a drummer of good humour “ What do you call 1-0 lawyers up to their nieck ….not enough concrete., John a drug addled bassist, John a wizz guitar player who played well below his capabilities and Piers a tinnitus hampered guitar player from the establishment. He drowned us all out because his amp was on 10 so he could hear through his earplugs…idiot. The Idlers performed to full houses in the Hare and Hounds on Upper Street. After releasing a sold out Cassette they split up. Brieve worked with Nigel and record in Mike’s studio. Mike who’s sobriquet is “ The only Honest Man in the Music Business “. Someone Else’s World Track 4 Wear a Red Rose Album Catalogue section, garnered Music Week’s best Independent Single of the week and a good review in Melody Maker.. Due to the usual fuck up the distribution company Stage One took no notice of the publicity and sold 63 copies. Someone Else’s World is now worth £ 20 on ebay. Brieve’s son was born to him and Martine. The first living relative Brieve had met. Brieve 1 was born in Pethiviers France. In the clinic of Michel Odin he came into the world while Martine’s relative a photographer of renown took pictures. Later rejected by her publishers as no fucking good Brieve 2 being not French looking enough.

To supplement his income Brieve became a Junior School Supply Teacher and ended up teaching in Thornhill Junior School under Seifert’s headship in Islington. Working was a pleasure, Brieve loving children. There was one dark cloud on the horizon that was bullying. Rife in the school. Brieve brought his concerns to the head whose response to what is your bullying policy was “ The strongest survive. “ The Old School Song track 8 Love in the North album. This led Brive to Smith the MP in whose constituency the school lay.

His response was to go to the head rather than her employers. She, being connected to a law firm took independent action involving herself as a hostile witness in Brieve’s custody battle with Martine. In the High Court Seifert tried to introduce written evidence rejected by a just and knowing Judge. Martine’s affidavit was a plea for Brieve’s Sectioning for life and 2 hours supervised access to his son a month. The wise Judge awarded standard access rights.
During this time Brieve met Cienwen, Ceni, a Student teacher doing her teaching practice in Thornhil.she was married to Tom had two daughters and was looking to start an affair to become the same as her fellow students. She chose Brieve replying to his I fancy you at the gate I fancy you too. They became lovers, she being adept at sex and dressing up fulfilling his childhood mother fantasies.They continued their affair up to the time Tom, a sound engineer at the BBC planted a tape recorder linked to the phone and recorded their intimate love talk. Divorce ensued. He permitted Ceinwen, Pure white in Welsh, to remain in the home with the children until they were 18. In a year he changed his mind and decided he wanted to sell the home. Ceni was going to be homeless with two children. She applied for a council flat as was informed she did not have enough points. Another child equalled more points and a flat. On a holiday to Spain their return was hampered when ceni’s renault broke down in France. Insurance paid for a hotel and in the morning dressed for sex Ceni informed Brieve that unless he fucked her, which he hadn’t been doing because of stress, it was over. Brieve didn’t want this to end and so fucked her. As they fucked she said you can come inside it’s my period. Now, Brieve had never come inside anyone believing this the safest option. But on this occasion he did. 9 months later in a call to Barrow she told him she was pregnant and if he did not return she would have the child adopted, striking at Brieve’s past. Despite the fact that she had smashed his 120 year old Gibson Guitar’s body on the quarry tiles when he told her he was leaving had had enough, leaving only the neck. If the 124 year old Roy Smeck Gibrson De Luxe was extant it is worth £22.000. After the bi. th of Mollie Ridge shPure white kicked him out of the house.when 6 months had elapsed destroying the bonding necessary to love. The relationship continued with weekly visits at the canal where Mollie was always asleep. Loving Mollie track 9 Love in the North Album. Brieve and Mollie are now estranged. Fallen for you cf track

In the end Brieve tired of Cienwen’s regular infidelities and called a halt to things.

Meantime the council harassed Brieve over the lease ff his Right to Buy flat forcing him to sell quickly at a knock down price. Stressed and worn out Brive relocated to Lyme Regis, loosing £30.000 due to a quick flat sale forced on him by Islington Council, Lyme begnin in the Summer tourist season hostile in the winter months. Dividing into warring factions.

Brieve drove to work in local junior schools on his newly acquired Black 1000 BMW. All went well with good reports from heads. One end of afternoon day an angry male parent was

powling the rooms looking for his infant. Brieve and the Head were the only males in the shcool and the head had gone. Brieve had to find and contain the anger of the father. He was successful and when the police came Brieve expiained no charges were laid..

In a school on the coast where the Female Head had sat in to observe Brieve teach perspective to a class of 30 ten year old . At the end of the lesson 30 perfect A4 sheets were produced. The head said nothing. Then one fateful dat a teacher recognised Brieve as being the person from William Tyndale School embroiled in the constructive dismissal affair. Priest told the head who sacked Brieve that day. Another tribunal took place where his claim was rejected as frivolous and vexatious in addition he was banned from teaching in Devon.

Brieve left the country and moved to Cantabria the Costa Verde in Northern Spain. He made friends and learned the language. One cold morning Carlito came into Valdo’s byre with three Magpie chicks saying if no one wanted them he would have to kill them. Brieve raised them, feeding them mince meat and worms. They grew fast and grew strong. Intelligent and faithful they followed him around the Pueblo on his daily passeos. One summer Brieve’s natural brother Jonty came with a companion who declared he was a lawyer but looked more like a tramp. One morning Jonty asked Brieve where the coke was. Brieve told him there was none which his brother did not believe but it was just strong hashish that propelled Brieve to his high. Jonty said he had a secret to tell that would change the life of Brieve and in exchange for 50% of his music royalties would tell the secret. Brieve told him to fuck off. Jonty persisted. He said that Brieve’s father had an affair with Julia Lennon when her husband was away at sea and the resultant offspring was John. Julia lived in the next street to Rosemary, a vague possibility of truth. Jonty told him he was John’s half brother. Brieve was skeptical to say the least. Brieve’s magpies left the day Jonty arrived never to return, Brieve was saddened. Jonty brought a present for Brieve. A digital recording desk. When Brieve rejected his offer he climbed into the house and took it back. Noticed by Augustine Brieve’s neighbour who reported the incident to the Police. Jonty was aprehended on the road and put in the carcel for the night and told not to return to Espana again. To illustrate Jonty’s character. In the Lake District in a pub Brieve heard Liverpudlian accents and took the piss for a second. Having attracted their attention Brieve told them he was conceived in Liverpool and had a brother there, when they heard his name they promptly said “ That cunt owes us money “.a perfect illustration of Jonty’s character.

Following the putative lawyer to Bilbao Airport Brieve c=decided not to confront him and returned on his 1000 BMW a new acquisition. As he tried to overtake a car in Turujal, the driver constant to car drivers, knocked Brieve’s BMW causing it to fall. He and the bike slid on the road towards a truck. The bike’s front wheel smashed into the van’s sump destroying it, the bike spun round hitting the side of the truck caving it in. Brieve stood up and was fine. A motorist ran to him. “ Dame la mano “ he cried Brieve did and the motorist sprayed disinfectant on it painful but saving the hand the skin of which was gone to the muscle. The police eventually decided that Brieve was at fault, ending up on the wrong side of the road. Another bike had bitten the dust. On a visit to England Brieve bought a Green Land Rover from Ricccardo his upholsterer friend.

Thus ensued his first Sectioning. Believing there was a bomb in the Rover he called the police in a Pueblo not far from his home. They came and bundled him into their van. Taken to the Hospital in Santander he was sectioned by a Wyth, a Judge. Asked if he had any hashish on him Brieve ever truthful replied in the affirmative producing two large lumps. The Wyth looked at the cops witheringly.

On his first night his room -mate invited him to smoke a spliff. At they open window they partook. Brieve’s 15 days were a pleasure. Excellent food, therapy, and treatment. The only problem was that the Shrink kept taunting him with “ Ah el hermano de John Lennon. “ Brieve wondered how he know of this. After the 15 days Brieve was set free and took a taxi home. The driver asked if he could bring his woman on the 65 k drive. Every happy to make friends, Brieve agreed. As they drove Albert pointed out tha Brieve’s round head denoted Celtic origins and gave him a rather sharp knife to defend himself.

Brieve’s hash dealer was Marco. Marco ran a bar on the edge of a ravine. He dealt good hash and Brieve was a regular client. But as usual trouble ensued. Because Brieve had no girl he was labelled a Maricon, a puff, and this led to confrontation. One morning returning in the rover from an Unquerra supermercardo trip his road was blocked by Marco’s friends cars. Brieve took another road and never went back for Hash. He duly found another dealer and continued his habit staying up for three days at a time walking on the hills in the madrugar. He shaved his head but only felt like a pirate. Ernestina the wife if Augustine often stood below his balcony .Que tal Brieve would enquire. “ Aqui estamos “ was her reply. Here we are.

Feeling sad and bad Brieve one night began to burn his possessions, a four foot fire controlled by a hose. His neighbour Carlos realising the problem called the cops. Maria the local Policia came and as she visited every week to check on this foreigner took him for a second visit to Santander Hospital for another 15 days of Sectioning. This visit resulted in a friendship with Lydia pon his release he visited Lydia who “ lost his wallet” while looking after it. They drove to the beach at night in Brieve’s Fiat Scudo. In fact to the Playa de los Locos. Aptly named. Their the friendship came to an end. She, taking his last 500 for a taxi home.Brieve mended the non starting Scudo with hammer blows to the battery and drove disappointed home.

From Barrow Brieve received the news his adopted mother now had altzhiemer’s, ever dutiful he retired to care for her. A committed walker she was hard to keep in the home when outside she was in danger. He had a fence built but she climbed it. She escaped through open windows and clever plans. One day after a 3 hour search he found her stranded on a traffic island covered in mud up to her knees, on a busy road. She was eventually placed in a care home where she refused to eat and consequently died. Brieve felt little.

Free and solvent with the house sale proceeds Brieve moved South to Devon to Totnes where he had friends. He bought a flat in a retirement complex and settled into rural life.

He continued to write songs and set up with Nick his very own website. brievemorison.com Releasing his albums hoping for some interest. A steady four or five a day logged on and listened. He started to play at local open mics distributing badges as advertising. The reaction was fairly favourable but nothing major occurred.

Falling in love easily in his continual search for his mother Brieve kept his spirits up by ever hoping for a change in his luck. No fucking chance. All his music was free to download ..not any more he decided. I need to earn a living and stopped open mics for the rational reason that he was playing for free and having to pay for his own transport and drinks, a committed orange juice drinker, he being. Now in the present there is another love in his mind. He met her on the street and after complimenting her on her beauty and style she took a picture of them both, a thing she said she never generally did. Ever hopeful Brieve waits. She has a daughter who sings covers in another open mic and he will see his putative love there in 5 days. Wish him luck dear reader. Purchase his songs cheap at £1 for 50 minutes of good music.

Nigel, his art shool buddy has seemingly dropped him after helping with the first three albums. 3 hour conversations have ceased and Brieve has not heard from him for 2 weeks. He misses Nigel’s polymath mind.

Miss Pragmatic of Exeter. She was a constant sexual lover during his marriage to Martine and his relationship with Pure white. She fulfilled his mother fantasies. Public Shcool educated she is a person who would meet someone on a train to Scotland and get off with him for a year. Through TC a stripper who gained a flat in a Thames die warehouse now worth 3 million. Simulated girl on girl sex is very well paid for by wealthy Arabs.

While working as Flat Rat Brieve met Woody. An Art Student for Wimbledon College of Art. Provocative and dynamic the started having sex. Brieve wanted to divorce Martine and marry her.

Ever hopeful in the face of despair Brieve continues to soldier on. Wish this old bastard luck. He fucking needs it.
