It's 5am, I'm not sleeping again and I had a notification on my phone when I got up so.... guess what, you finally get to "meet" the brilliant man responsible for this nutty journey. Hopefully one day I'll find a way to introduce you to Zak my amazing 'Guitar Guru' as well!

Below is the latest HILARIOUS "Jam On Sunday's" video, (click to see them all on his cool YouTube channel), from my piano/guitar/bass/drum/writing/recording teacher (he plays lots more instruments than that but I think I'm learning enough right now don't you?!!) - you can see why I'm in awe of him -and why he makes me laugh, this one is very silly!! And not content with being awesome on every instrument he can just pull this out of nowhere each week just for fun and play brilliantly, record properly and make it all look easy - cue green eyed monster :) Oh and he can juggle - too much talent for one man!

As a funny aside though - I recently mentioned that I really want to get to where he is (on my four instruments) by the end of these five years and his brilliant reply - "good luck with that!!" - ta very much Tom, slap down or what!! Don't worry luckily I have a wicked sense of humour, I know Tom and my self esteem is already flatlined so no harm done! It's probably is a very fair statement BUT I fully intend to try anyway because I'm an incredibly stubbon sod and luckily I happen to have a really talented (and supportive!!!) teacher. I love Aussies to bits but they can be very blunt which is actually really funny if you don't take offense, Zak does it too which always ends up in us having a laugh!! Mind you they've had to get used to my cutting Brit sarcasm and x-rated humour which has caused some serious blushing & laughing fits so fair's fair.

I'm signing off now so enjoy this awesome fella doing what he does best and I'll get back to work TRYING to become a good musician in my own right!​

    What's This About?

    One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons.  6 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter.  I set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!  Enjoy!
