Join Date: 2005-08-08 04:59:00about I began piano lessons at the age of 7 & brass at 12. Studied music through school, then continued with music studies at university. I have played semi-professionally on-and-off over the last 2 decades in various bands/groups in many genres.
Having worked in the record industry for about 20 years-I've collected too many CDs & LPs over the last 3 decades. (I began collecting 10 years prior to my involvement with record companies)
The house is full of things musical.
I need to build more shelves.
I have a very patient wife.
We make ice cream for a living to sell at the local markets.
My wife Jane & I live in the lovely little village of Cobargo (on the far South Coast of NSW). There are heaps of artists, musos, all kinds of creative types in this part of the world.
I love the MacJams site, because I get to collab with some seriously talented people-such a luxury! :)
