"Late For The Bus" is a new song, written and performed by Ron Gletherow. The song transpired in a dream that Ron had and felt subconsciously "guided" to write. The song promotes world peace, and deals with the war on terror and how we're fighting it, racial profiling, and the urgent need to find a better way to stop the tragic waste of innocent civilian human life worldwide.

** By the way...."Hassan", pictured above with us, does NOT run a kebab shop in West Ham Lane, as stated in the song lyric. His real name IS Hassan though, and he is a dear friend of ours, who actually runs the "Caravan" restaurant in Kos Town on the island of Kos. If you're ever in Kos Town, be sure to pay him a visit for some great food and even better conversation and hospitality.....and be sure to say hi to him from us and tell him he's famous now **

"The song highlights racial profiling, and calls for world peace and a stop to all the killing, regardless of race or politics. In the song, the main character reacts like so many have done before, calling for revenge, but is drawn to the conclusion that it's always the innocents who suffer most in any conflict, and the song ends with the line, "It's all so sad, in New York, London and Baghdad". No one could possibly have put it better than John Lennon with "Give Peace A Chance" and the beautiful "Imagine". This song follows those lines."- Ron Gletherow
