About Me

This is so important
I made this Flash Music Player at MyFlashFetish .com.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs

Two musicians based in the Blue Mountains, Australia. We collect and restore old American guitars and also build guitars to order. Of course we also do repairs and setups as well. We have almost 70 years of playing music between us and aint sick of it yet. Ian has worked in Australia and England in some serious linups while Michael has been a solo Ragtime Blues and Country picker in Tasmania, West Australia and NSW between gigs as a linehaul truck driver.- A period of his life that is thankfully almost over.-'Only the first million miles are fun.'

My Interests

Music, Building Guitars, Collecting Vintage Guitars, Vintage Kay Guitars, Fishing, Camping with my son, Playing good gigs, Studying the true agendas of international power and the military/ industrial complex. Creating a better world for all mankind.
