About Me

Hey everyone how are ya's going I'm just a down to earth Aussie who enjoys the things I do in life being designing great Jeanswear for people to wear www.longgrass.com.au and writing great Songs for people to listen to. I hope you enjoy them. After taking up the Guitar on 17 March 2002 at the age of 46 and stumbling across songwriting I have completed recording my first album and I was extremely fortunate to have some of Australia's most talented musicians play on the album such as Lawrie Minson playing Harmonica, Dobro Guitar and Banjo. Andrew Clermont playing Mandolin and Fiddle and the 2008 Australian Bluegrass Flat Pick Guitar Champion Robbie Long playing Acoustic, Electric and Bass Guitars, Dobro Guitar, Piano, Mandolin and Drums. Robbie is also the producer of my album, from Sound Ideas Newcastle. Mate he plays them Guitars. Female backing vocals Gleny Rae from Gleny Rae Virus and Kate Hobbins. Male backing vocals Mick Fetch and Luke Hobbins. A special thanks to all of you for helping me record my album.
