Q: Ever come to the glorious Pacific Northwest of the US?

A: Well, I lived in Vancouver for 8 years so I know how glorious the Pacific NW is! I'd love very much to return. I've only been gigging for the last couple of years in a very small way around Melbourne but plan on traveling further afield eventually. Various big events in my life have gotten in the way so far but when/if things settle down, you never know!

Q: What is a question you wish someone would ask you?

A: How about:

"Can we use your song in our movie? I'm afraid we can only pay $75,000"

Q: Whatever happened to that Sam Phillips track you were recording? Some of us had a sneak preview-but at that stage it was unfinished. Love to hear it sometime please!

A: I never quite finished it! It just needs some lead guitar but I got distracted by other things, namely recording other artists, which is my only source of income at present, and recording my wife Marjorie's music. Plus the small distraction of Marjorie's brain tumour and surgery. It should surface eventually, although I don't really know what to do with it.

Q: If you could have anyone 'helping out' on backing /harmony vocals-who would you choose?

A: Some day I'll get Marjie to do some. So far I've just done them myself because it's easier to do that than drag her in from the other room! And my voice kinda goes well with... my voice. But apart from her, I think I'd choose Andy Pratt or the two guys I saw doing backing vocals for him at Greenbelt Festival in the early 80s - not sure who they were.

Q: What would be the major components hindering you from a Tour Calendar, even if only in the Garden State?

A: Good question!

First of all, I've only really started doing gigs recently so up until now I've been "finding my feet". Think I'm getting the hang of it now

Also it's only in the last three weeks that I've finally become a truly full-time musician. It's gradually turned from a hobby into a career. So far I've never actively looked for gigs - I've only done them when I've been asked to in one way or another, and it's definitely been for fun, not profit! But I think I've reached the point where I need to begin looking for places to play.

Another thing is that, for a long time most of my fans were scattered widely around the world, many in the USA, and while working in my day job I was reluctant to take the risk of touring overseas. However I think I've recently built up more of a following here at home, at last.

So, yeah, it's something I'm hoping to escalate in 2012. Up until now playing live hasn't been a priority but I think it is now that I don't have a day job any more!
