About me:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Go to live music but not as often as i would like to.Listen to music but not as often.......
I love the acoustic singer/songwriter way of making and listening to music and for a while now have been extremely grateful and indebted to Women Of The Nineties(WOT90)for the untiring work and effort to bring new artists to these ears,thanks guys. Take the opportunity to check out the MySpace page.
There are just loads of fantastic people out there making great stuff.
Who I'd like to meet: Ani Difranco and/or the wonderfully musical inventive Kurt Swinghammer and/or the genius that is Laura Veirs ..........thats probably enough for any one person but as it may not happen...........
.........people who like live music mainly acoustic.
Fans of :
Amy Wadge,Chris Smither,Nickel Creek,Richard Shindell,Patty Larkin,to name but a few.

So I found this vid of a man named jason gonzales. Youve propably heard of it, I just thought if you hadnt I would share it with you. Absolutley beautiful. "Gogol"
No need to worry, I am fine and truckin along. Really enjoying this change in weather. Tis my favorite time of year. It means I have to work extra hard but I do enjoy it. A friend of mine is giving me a oppurtunity to work with kids musically putting on shows and what not. Im super excited, and suprised that I never thought of it before. Things are very good though, earlier this week not so good but I sailed through it and made it out alive. I guess nothings worth doing unless you really learn a lesson or two.
Hello Martin, Welcome on board. Thank you for supporting indie musicians, and reaching out across the Myspace Universe to support NZ Female Muso's! Keep Resonatin'! NZWAC

Verdict on the new profile pic keeps veering between 'deep thinking man of the world' and 'pyscho serial killer' - which look were you actually going for??
Thank you thank you thank you! I love it, you are such a doll. I went camping this weekend and came home to find your lovely package. Thank you millions upon millions of butterfly wings hugging your garden. Maybe just in spirit though because it would be kinda hard getting into your house with millions of butterflies swarming it lol.
