Keepin' It REAL.

About Me

Born in the UK but moved with my family to Australia in the mid sixties. Lived here in South Australia ever since. Of course, visiting other countries is great, but Australia's always going to be home to me. I love music, & I especially love playing guitar & listening to different guitarists from all over the world. I'm primarily into the blues, but I also appreciate many other musical genres whether it's heavy metal, rock, jazz, country, or classical.The great thing to me about playing guitar or listening to a great guitarist, is that it doesn't matter where you come from or what your background is, music transcends all barriers.I also like to get away whenever I have the chance (which sadly, is not as often as I'd like) and just head for the country to spend quality time catchin' up with the real things in life and getting back to basics.
I find that I take a rather cynical look at life sometimes, but I think that originates from the fact that I am extremely put off by people who are conceited and artificial. On the other hand, people who are real, honest, and down to earth are (in my opinion) the most interesting people to be around. Furthermore, I find humility to be a very appealing quality in a person, which I see as a strength rather than a weakness.

My Interests

I guess first and foremost, I enjoy playing guitar (is there anything else?)Oh yeah, I like putting on some good music (get inspired), or if I'm in the mood I might put on a good DVD. I also enjoy watching the English Premier League and keep up with the latest results. Bushwalking is something I truly enjoy and highly recommend. Going fishing whenever the opportunity presents itself is also one of my favourite pastimes.

I'd like to meet:

Oh, far too many to mention!But basically all those creative, & artistic people that in their own individual ways have directly or indirectly influenced me, and/or having a profound affect on me at different stages throughout my life.Peter Frampton Do you feel like I do
