Grunts & Guitars! Funk & Swagger!
I'd been playing guitar forever - I took to it like a bad habit during high school. The song-writing came later on, influenced initially by listening to The Pogues & reading Henry Lawson.
It was fueled by a frustration in finding material that I could play, could sing & that I liked.
The initial result was the cd "Mermaids" which I recorded with Tim Horrigan in San Juan Capistrano.
As I had been living in S.California for a heck of a long time I started performing around LA. That was a great way to meet some wonderful friends & performers & consequently the writing blossomed, culminating in the second cd "Sinbad Ranch". Steve Goodie of Punch Sound assisted with this one, with contributions form Tim Horrigan on keys & John McDuffie on pedal steel & slide guitars. After completing the initial takes Steve Goodie moved his studio from Santa Monica to Nashville & I returned to Australia after an absence of 28 years.
These days I'm up in the hills, mid-way between Sydney & Melbourne, sharing a small acreage with my wife Darlene & a dog, Kipling. I miss Vine Street & The Bliss in Hollywood but it's wonderful here... just a little bit further to gigs.
