I am here for Friends

About Me

Im the proud owner of 3 dogs, Daisy, Saffron and Dora.I have 3 adult children and one grandson. My granddaughter is due in late September.They are very well behaved (the dogs not the kids) and they let me share their kingsize bed every night.I was lucky to be a teenager in Dunedin in the mid 70s when punk found its way to NZ. Dunedin was the music capital of emerging bands with The Clean, The Verlaines, The Enemy, Bored Games, Heavenly Bodies and The Same. I was the bassist in The Same in 1979. I was also the bassist in surf/rock band Stingray around 2000.I now play bass and do vocals for MEOW (check my friends) but mostly leave the rock n roll lifestyle to my children, SoNicSmith, Tiddy and Meg*, who for some strange reason are better at it. I joined Myspace to prove to my kids that I have more friends than them (and I dont need to pay for mine)although my daughter Meg* doesnt want to play this silly competitive game.I love watermelon, oysters, crayfish, cajun blackened fish, muttonbirds, dogs kisses & people kisses, late nights and sleep-ins ;o)
