Music

A long time ago in a lifetime far, far away...

... I borrowed my brother's bass guitar and learned to play.

It was a Columbus bass, a Fender Precision copy, strung with Superwound or Ernie Ball Super Slinky, depending on how I felt.
The Superwounds gave a really great sound but the Slinky's were easier on the fingers.

Eventually I was in a band, writing songs and performing live.

As 'musician' was mentioned in my author bio, here are a few tunes from back then.

We were 'The Origin'

  • Me - Bass guitar & backing vocals
  • Matt - Lead / rhythm guitar & backing vocals
  • Ed - Lead / rhythm guitar & vocals
  • Gary - Drums

In the short time we were together we wrote over 40 songs and played many gigs at the Grey Horse in Kingston. The fun didn't last though and we parted ways just before we became the next big thing.
