As for your music inffluences it can go as far as India, Ireland, France...(I don't care) as long as you got rhythm; being a mixed race I have a lot of inffluences.
Well, I am very excited at the prospect of playing music again with people.

Just a quick question.
I had a couple of vertabra fused back in '03.The surgeon went thru my neck.What a dumb ass I was for not forseeing the future!After the healing was pretty much over I tried the pipes and I had lost 3to4 notes on the high end.I went back bitching and he said just keep practicing and it would come back.NOT!
Any suggestions how to work this out?Medically losen vocal chords?Drink a magic formula?
I'm not a pro singer but I loved going to different places to sit in and do back up vocals.Just an ole 59 year hippie singer song writer.
Any replies very appreciated.
Peace......

Trouble on the Waterfront will be launched at a FREE public event at 2pm Sunday October 25 (Labour Weekend) at the Museum of Wellington City and Sea, including performances from The Waterfront Collective band and historical perspectives of the time from noted historian and author David Grant.
