| Introduction | I grew up in Brisbane, Qld. Attended both the local primary and secondary schools. I left school in 1968 and began an Sheetmetal Working apprenticeship. After working at my trade, for a few years, I decided I wanted to pursue music. I studied part-time and entered the Queensland Conservatorium as a student ,where my major instrument was classical guitar. To cut a long story short, I eventually ended up in the library world. Still working as a librarian, although I continue to be a frustrated musician. |
