I have been performing in community theatre since 2000 appearing with various groups, such as The Chatswood Musical Society, The Pymble Players and The Peninsula Theatre Company.
When I am not rehearsing, performing, or broadcasting I am scouring record shops, or the internet, for obscure and rare pieces of music. Otherwise I can be found loitering around, and in, various North Shore bars, discussing philosophy, reciting poetry, or engaged in other, similar Shakespearian pursuits.I also enjoy walking and training dogs and even 3 ball juggling!
I'd like to meet:
I have so much to be grateful in my life : -
The sight in my eyes,
The sounds in my ears,
The taste in my mouth,
The smell in my nose,
The feelings in my skin,
The life in my heart,
The thoughts in my mind,
The friends in my life,
The women I have loved,
The cats who purr and keep me company,
The place where I live,
The food in my tummy,
The water in my blood,
The job that keeps me busy,
The radio show that keeps me creative,
The acting for me to learn,
The clothes on my back,
The music in my life,
The spirit in my bones,
The joy of my children,
The ability I have to move .. set-backs,
The love I have for women,
The friendships past and present with men,
The care I can have,
The tidiness in my make-up
The air in my lungs,
The yoga that keeps me sane,
The humour that keeps me young,
The sex that keeps me shining,
The sensibility in my thoughts,
The experiences of joy in my life,
The voice that keeps me bouncing,
The access to internet that keeps me in touch,
The lessons I learned from everyone I have met,
The friends I have made all over the world,
The music that gets sent to me constantly,
The TV that keeps me company when on my own,
Molly the dog who keeps me company on walks,
The ability to say sorry and know when I am wrong,
The mobile that keeps me in contact,
The youth in my spirit,
The strength of my resolve,
The heritage of my genes,
The Father who bought me up,
The Mother who tried,
The brother who was sometimes there,
The sister who supported always,
The step-mum who cares,
The ex-wife who brought up my girls,
The goodness in my nature,
My sexuality that attracts,
My heart that beats,
The firmness of my feet,
The health of my body,
The common sense that keeps me earthed,
The luck and good fortune that has come my way,
The employers who have paid my way,
The planet that supports,
The guardians who watch over me,
The fruit in my garden,
The landlords who have homed me,
The sports that keep me interested,
The games I like to play,
The money in my bank,
The experience of acting on stage,
The guile that sees me through,
The knowledge to survive during hard times,
The education of my brain,
The confidence that shines in my life,
The playfulness that keeps me youthful,
The country and city I live in,
The rain that cleans,
The cold that soothes,
The wind that swirls,
The Sun that warms,
The Moon that glows,
The beach that gives me solace,
The ocean wherein I play,
The ocean that heals my woes,
The trains, busses that get me around,
The shoes that keep me walking,
The legs that keep me fit,
The love in my heart for life,
The refreshing beer that gives me respite,
The wine that swirls over my taste buds,
The champagne that excites,
