I have seen and done a lot of things. Been in charge of lots of people made other people a lot of money. I've been broke. I've slept on park benches. I've been to university. I've hired and fired people. I even bought a seat at Lincoln City's ground despite being a Notts County Supporter. I have now learned that often the question is more valuable than the answer. Oh and by the way I love music. My big bro and I acquired an original copy of Steppenwolf - with  - born to be wild on it and there was no looking back. We played it on our wind up record player that was designed for 78s but could still play 16RPMs as well!! -This was brilliant for piper at the gates of dawn when it first came out - I loved SYD.

At the same church bazaar we got trout mask replica and after banging my head against a wall a few times as we had no LSD (too poor!) I was able to expand my mind and get into the "frank and don show" - no not that one  - Zappa and Van Vliet. Remember this was a time when there was no internet and such things were never popular at the time and so not even word of mouth was there to support me.

I developed my own style and soon achieved grade 97 on harmonica and then studied A level spoons. my passion for spooning and castanets knew no bounds until my music teacher put the world out of it's misery and recognised my perfect pitch. She said play guitar  - so I unwound the elastic from golf balls and designed new instruments with it - brilliant. Finally I busted my gut as a paper boy and got my own Hondo II pro guitar - I still play it today. I love the dimarzio pick ups. I need to stop now otherwise Peter Jackson is going to make the film!

My professional career prevents me from disclosing too many details - just listen and enjoy.

I am not Tony Blair. - honest! ( he he ! - honest tone)

I sometimes wish I had chosen the musical road. But I am happy to be happily married with four lovely children. The simple things in life give me pleasure. Respect is often more valuable than wealth. I'd like to think that someday some of this music might mean something to someone apart from me, but it has given me great pleasure and I hope I can share that with a bigger audience than the four cats, squirrels and birds at the bottom of my garden - oh ..and my poor long suffering neighbours!
