About Me

This is the new start of me not taking myself too seriously... whatever will be will be - que sera sera .. lalaaaa.. this space is an expression of my need to create, sometimes often, sometimes not and to share this... I make music, videos etc because I love doing it - because it makes me happy and because it is fun... if you like it - then fab.... I like you. You can be my friend.Here's to jingle jabs and poppy slops...Just a FYI - (as if you didn't notice!) - I don't really play any instruments very well - the guitar I strike so clumsily is just me enjoying myself - the only instrument I (used to) play very well is the viola - but a bit hard to sing while I'm playing that... So here's to me finding the right muso/s.... I have some ideas and plans up my sleeve.. hehehe...

Sorry that I've been so quiet - it's the European summer and as my South African bones NEED the sunshine, the sea, the sand between my toes - I have been away - first in Costa Brava and then up at the...
