I've been a back-up musician since 1965. With some great guidance, encouragement and loads of experience working as a drummer with top-notch talent, I've become a creator in my own right. My fields of endeavour overlap with Music, Theatre, Poetry, Visual Arts, Performance Art and Production as my foci. I'm a 65+ year old meditating vegetarian, folksinger, and jazz buff - inventing my own genre. Now a body/energy worker, creative collaborator with a lot to share.

But watch – it is your choice whether […]

I’ve had hearing trouble since 1990. Up until then my sense of hearing was quite acute, having been accustomed to listening deeply to all sorts of music on all types of systems. So it was a shock one afternoon to suddenly hear a high-pitched whistling noise in my left ear. More shocking still was the […]

Reading Neil Young’s entertaining memoir “Special Deluxe” into which he has poured many exhaustive details of his extensive automobile collection; and a car-by-car history of his life on the road.

I’ve always been drawn in by music and poetry – at some point in my childhood I realized I could put the two together and make up new words for familiar melodies, or take poems and find ways to sing them, or even make up my own songs from scratch. Edgar A. Poe was one […]
