About Me



I have been involved with music and bands in Perth, Western Australia since the late '60's when I played rhythm, lead and bass guitars with a variety of pop and rock bands. However by the mid '70's I had tired of the scene and virtually retired until the early '90's when I started playing acoustic music.As an acoustic musician I play mainly mandolin, dobro, bass and guitar but also some bouzouki, dulcimer, synth and even occasional flute (I won't mention the banjo). I have released a Celtic tinged solo instrumental album entitled "Rainbow Reflections" which can be heard on my other page -

Just recently I've been playing blues/rock and written and recorded an album entitled "Runaway Train". There are five tracks from it here.

Drum Machines

I've been trying to write a drum program for my latest songs. My Roland TR 505 is relatively easy to program but being a product of the '80s its sound samples are not appropriate..... So I tried to us...
