I left school in the early 80's and went on to study music (bass guitar and double bass). I became a musician for a long while. Then, for reasons that seemed good at the time, I joined the army. I was there for a while. Eventually I became a musician again and that's what I continue to do: although I play guitar far more than I play bass these days (*sigh*). I play in two bands The Voodoo Dudes ( Aussie Psych, Surf-Punk, Freakbeat originals) and Luminescence (vocal trio doing jazz, pop and folk covers).
