In seven or so years as a session musician I've done some pretty strange and interesting things. I've played country songs on the back of a truck next to a spit-roasting pig; jazz standards at swanky cocktail bars; disco songs in lavishly decorated ballrooms, rock songs in sweaty, seedy cesspools; reggae with the local stoners on the streets of Byron Bay; show tunes for the old folks at RSL clubs; Christmas carols with school kids; soul music in Papua New Guinea at a venue surrounded by shotgun-wielding guards; blues tunes for mafia guests arriving by private helicopter; jaunty theatre numbers in an outback musical complete with horses and motorbike acrobatics. I've been treated like dirt by the super-rich; treated like a king by those with nothing. I've played to crowds of three and crowds of thousands. I've thrashed drums to within an inch of their life, and I've been told to turn down an acoustic guitar. I really do love the muso life. But up to this point I have always just coasted along as the hired help. Playing for others is easy and fun, but I eventually started wondering if writing and recording my own music could be even more satisfying. So, this music is what I've kept to myself the whole time. It is a solo project in the truest sense of the word - I wrote the songs and played all the instruments. I even sing - a first for me. I am a fairly shy person, and I have always been reluctant to front my own music. But after years of working with crap singers, I decided that I, too, could be a crap singer. The album documents a few of my highs and lows of recent years. I tried to keep things fairly positive the first time around - I'll save the cynical songs for when I'm in the depths of the inevitable drug habit. I hope you enjoy it.
