My daughter Maya celebrating the end of her time at Musical Theatre Crew with a solo performance that captivated the audience. You could hear a pin drop in the room and rivers of tears were flowing from a very proud dad. She started this journey at the age of 9 and 9 years later she left it all on the stage.

Finally, there are some videos featuring Gerry Murrell and his red guitar. Two years ago, this was a practice shoot to test my lighting and Peter Curtis's (ABC award-winning cameraman) video camera setup. This gives me plenty of confidence going into this new stage of setting up again in a garage with plenty of new bits and pieces I have bought, borrowed, or stolen (actually made), lol!
Still my favorite song:

This heartfelt and deeply personal project has been a lifetime in the making.
Within this song, I've poured my emotions, fears, guilt, and profound sadness stemming from the unexpected wave of depression that engulfed me as I witnessed my little sister's courageous battle with cancer coming to an end. It takes you on my journey from sadness to madness to here!
So cool to hear it on Radio!
