 A SORT OF MUSICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY 
and the music comes around again ...
It began when I was in Primary School. I was given a mouth organ, learnt to play tunes on it and was promptly told off to play flute in the Armidale Demonstration School flute band. In my mid teens my Grandmother gave me her bagpipes. Started by teaching myself on a holiday visit to my Uncle Peter's farm up in Queensland and as a result never got to be any good at it, but duly became a member of the Armidale Pipe Band anyway. Sid Cooper, the band's Pipe Major must have been VERY pressed for members!   In the early 60's I started my Rural Science degree at UNE and together with Michael Milne, Stewart Purvis-Smith and James Purser started a folk band called "The Coachmen". Mike & I played guitar, Stu and Jim had really nice voices but we all sang anyway! Mostly at University cabarets and the odd performance in town (Armidale). At that time The Kingston Trio were enormously popular and so we sang a lot of their stuff. My favourite band at the time was probably The Highwaymen (not to be confused with a later Johnny Cash-based band of that name). When The Beach Boys took up from where the Kingston Trio left off (Dave Gaurd moved to Sydney for a while) and the old band members went their separate ways I teamed up with Rodney, John and Dennis playing Beatles, Rolling Stones etc stuff. Here's an embarrasing picture from that time..   Earned quite a lot of cash & was able to buy myself a beautiful red Fender Jazz Bass (oh how I wish I hadn't sold it now!) and a Fender Jaguar for John. We used to play at local balls and woolshed dances, had LOTS of fun and got quite well known around the New England. When we all finished our degrees and split up I got back into the folk music again, much inspired by the very brilliant Gary Shearston amongst others. Heard Flatt & Scruggs for the first time. Bought an Autoharp, several Flageolettes (Tin Whistle to you), a very nice classical guitar and after a while a Vega Folk Wonder open-back banjo. Got quite good on the Autoharp and learnt "Pete Seeger style" picking & then frailing on the banjo. Did a lot of playing with various people and on my own, even won a prize in Inverell one night! Gave it all up after a while and started to wander, Brisbane, Sydney and then finally moved to Sweden in pursuit of new challenges. Didn't listen to or touch any music for many years until I suddenly conceived a passion for the Organ. I'm still very fond of the Medieval and Baroque composers - John   Bull, Buxtehude, JP Sweelinck amongst many others. That didn't last more than a couple of years - I'd imagined that I'd learn it all in a year or so. I wish! Gave it all away as a bad job so there was another long break until last year (2002) when I suddenly got interested in Bluegrass and Folk music again and have started to teach myself to play Dobro and flatpick Guitar. And now I've got a custom built "Eucalypt" banjo made by Roger Simpson in the Brisbane suburb of Wynnum, not so far from Lota where my mother's family came from. Music forms a new circle, as it says on the the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band CDs. Everything seems to come around again some time in your life...
