  • Music

    My first love is Country & Western - particularly the old stuff from the first half of the 20th century. My ambition is to go to the Grand Ole Opry - I always said my ultimate ambition was to sing on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, but that's one ambition I know I will never achieve! I like most kinds of music - if it is musical; that is, it has a rythm, a melody, etc. I can't stand modern jazz, metal, rap, and a lot of the modern "pop" styles, but I like folk, classical, big-band, latin, middle-of-the-road, military bands, ... all kinds of "real" music - even modern pop if it has a good tune and lyrics you can understand. I guess I'm getting old!

I am a local historian, family historian, musician (of sorts!), and general layabout!
I have been singing since I learned to talk, but didn't take up the guitar until I was 16. I have never had any lessons and I can't read music - everything is played by ear. I started singing in a pub when I was 17. At 19 I was a resident singer in the local folk club. From folk music I graduated to country, and played with friends at local pubs for a few years before forming a trio called "The Reapers". We toured local pubs, clubs and hotels singing mainly country music, with a little bit of rock & roll thrown in for good measure. About 2 years ago I bought my first keyboard - a Yamaha portable grand - and started adding to my repertoire. Earlier in 2008 I upgraded to the Yamaha Tyros workstation, which is the instrument I use for most of my recordings. I also acquired a Tanglewood guitar to replace my 1950s Hofner Senator and this can be heard on my acoustic recordings. All the recent tracks are recorded on a zoom-H2 portable recorder and edited using "X-OOM Music Clean" software on my laptop PC.
I enjoy travelling, meeting people - especially long-lost family, seeing new places.
Having been born and brought up by the sea, I love the coast, the open countryside, and walking on the hills. I also love mountains, although there aren't too many of those in Kent, so I enjoy visiting my new-found family in Oregon as often as I can.

Who said my American family were crazy?



Who I'd like to meet:

Most of the people I would like to have met are dead and gone.
I would love to meet Dolly Parton and sing a duet with her - some chance!
I would still like to meet any members of my extended family that I haven't yet found.
