I am here for Friends

About Me

Originally I put this page together to display some renders of 3D, music related, models I've made...but it's drifting more towards becoming some sort of music repository; this is an amazing place to find music and musicians you might never otherwise come in contact with, and hopefully a great way for me to share with you some of the acts I've heard for the first time here, plus a few old favourites.
If you're interested in the models then click on the "View my Pics" link. If you're not interested don't worry, I won't hold it against you, just click on one of my "friends" and listen to their music for a while.
I've been in a few bands myself. I play guitar, bass, some keyboards, blues harp, even mandolin briefly, but these days I don't have much spare time to actually play music as I'm pretty busy with the day job and my other hobby which is 3D art and model making. I do still listen to a lot of music though.
Bloody Hell...I sound really boring. Someone pass me an anorak.

My Interests

Music, reading, 3D modelling/artwork.

I'd like to meet:

Emmylou Harris, Albert Lee, James Burton, Amos Garrett, Stan Webb, Mark Knopfler, Richard Thompson, Andy Latimer, Stephen Fry.

Music:

Blues, Americana, Classical, Chill Out, Prog Rock, Pink Floyd, virtually anything except that nasty modern cr*p that has no tunes and too many words.

I know nobody is reading this but...

...I think I've just been the recipient of the rudest recorded message ever. And I mean rude in the "what an ignorant response" way...not pornographic. Brief scenario... My broadband connectio...

The early years

Why am I writing this?  Not a clue. Nobody reads (my) blogs, so this is probably, at best, a semi-drunken excuse to justify the fact I'm still awake and in front of the computer at 3:30 in the m...

Errrr...

OK, blog...err...I guess I just need to write something, but I'm not going to have time to write anything regularly, so I'll try to make it as uninteresting as possible.  I won't have to try too ...
