..My wife, my dog, my family and friends are most important to me.... and close second is my music (my 1982 JV Fender PBass is my other babe!), gigs and festivals, then there's football (c'mon me babbys!), trying to renovate an old house we bought a couple of years ago is fun aswell (!), laughing (I mean REALLY laughing) and hearing other people laughing, drinking's good too (Macallan whisky, JD, Jägermeister...), going away... then coming back again!, my own bed, Es Cana, my iPod, Los Angeles, making money then spending it all, rain outside the bedroom window, coffee (Starbucks Double Mocha Macchiato extra hot - the best!), Rocky-Road cake, the internet, snow, taking the piss!, Autumn, winding people up!, Christmas, the cold side of the pillow...
I'd like to meet:
Myself, 20 odd years ago; to pass on what I've discovered about life and what lessons I've learnt (but I probably wouldn't listen anyway! - I was that kinda kid!)... And
myself, 5 years from now; to find out if that extended warranty was really just a waste of money!
My late father and friends who are no longer with us - to catch up on a few things, tell them what I've done with my life and so on... (Jeez, how fuckin' morbid... sorry guys!)
Other than that I consider myself very lucky indeed to have already met some of the people that I most admire - Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Eddie Van Halen, Brian May, Sir George Martin, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Steve Bull MBE, Sir Jack Hayward OBE...
