About Me

Hello friends well before I talk about my music I would like to take a chance at plugging my book, ive put 10 chapters on this site so have a read its called EXODUS INTO ENLIGHTENMENT and is a true story of a Beautiful friend Sara and myself taking a 12 foot boat with a small motor from Daintree north Queensland Australia to Cape York the most nothern tip of Australia on a 3 month survival style adventure. An amazing event brought about by a man trying to deal with the seperation of his wife and kids and comes up with an idea that seems like madness at first but delivers him into a place of healing and faith where he understands what truelove is and why we never loose it, so please take the time to read these first 10 chapters and message me if your interested in the rest of the book which will be available in hard copy and talking book format but please enjoy the first 10 chapters and here is some info about my relationship with music thanks... We dont play music music plays us ,and if we recieve it with our deepest emotions it sends our antenna soaring ....... been playing guitar 19 years bush style, cant read it ,dont want to learn , i reckon if it sounds good must look good in quavers and quotes ,played at home to the bedroom walls most of that time. Been writing songs for 15 years ,i love this side of it ,the happiness of taking yourself on a journney of words making an etopian world you understand still blisses me out .Love poetry,love hearing other peoples, love finding three chords grabbing a poem, spontaneously voiceing the lyrics with the record button on ,usually the best recordings.Havent counted how many songs ive written mega ,been playing a stomp box miked up with foot for bass drum and strap on harmonica, for a while now ,next album you should get a taste . Other interest are gem fossicking ,tattooing should have down pat soon ,carving, gem cutting ,extreme adventures,tribal art.
