I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a 59 year old bloke, born in Coventry in the U.K. and settled here in Melbourne, Australia, back in 1971. Yep, I must be one of the last "Ten Pound Poms" that came to Australia on the Government Assisted Passage Scheme. I moved to Australia courtesy of my guitar teacher, Sam. He and his wife and son emigrated some 2 years or so before me. We stayed in touch and I received lessons by mail until one day Sam suggested that I join them here in Australia. "We'll sponsor you", he said. "We'll put a roof over your head and give you a bed to sleep in". Now there's an offer too good to refuse! So here I am, ... never looked back! My dear friend and mentor, Sam, taught me everything I know about the guitar. He's gone to God now and I miss him, but thankfully he entrusted me to his guitars so his music and teaching lives on. I owe dear Sam an awful lot, not least a whole new life here in Australia, so I'd like to dedicate this "Myspace" page to him.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I guess, if I thought about it, I could come up with list as long as your arm, like famous celebrities and Presidents and Prime Ministers but really, Clint Eastwood, Roy Phillips (of The Peddlers fame) and Del Wales, an email friend and top bloke are the only ones that come to mind at this time. Just a little tribute to my friend Del, if you don't mind. Let me tell you, he's a wiz' when it comes to Myspace pages and if you're into prog rock or just music in general, you should check out his Myspace pages! It's thanks to Del that my page looks so good. Cheers mate. UPDATE! I can now report that I have had not only the pleasure of meeting Del, but also his lovely wife Maureen, their daughter Hayley and their son Ryan, having spent a fantastic weekend with them on a visit to England in May 2008, during which time Del, Maureen and myself not only attended a great Rick Wakeman gig, but also met the living legend himself!! How cool is that?!!
