To all my dearest supporters and fans. I have not been well, please forgive me for not acknowledging you all, it is unintended. Please keep in touch and keep listening to me and N1M especially. I'll update ASAP and love and respect you all.

Hello Everyone. I think of you all and wish we didn't have the covid blues. I apologize for not creating more music, but the lockdown and local restrictions on our movements here in Sydney, make it almost impossible. I hope you're all doing well as can be in your areas and no doubt,
we'll all be singing a new songs soon. Keep loyal to N1M and we'll all get through this together. The N1M community is very strong and talented, please persist and stay well until next we speak.

So, here we all are, glutonous fine music munchers !! I'm probably the biggest digestor of good solid music than most.
I look forward to when we can all get back to dining on a menu of arts and festivities.
Until then, you are all the inspiration I need
to continue writing, singing, playing and above all, keeping N1M alive and active.
I've been in the process of assembling a small home studio, downsizing, re-inventing etc and believe it or not, writing more poetry as I used to do in my 20's 30's. Please keep me in your hearts, you are never far from mine. Catch up soon.

Well, HELLO ! How are you all ? My first thoughts go out to you all. Thank the powers that be, for the music that each of us love and what makes us happy on a daily basis. Where would we be without music to keep us calm, keep us company, keep us hoping. Big thanks to N1M, we can't thank them enough, for being "the boat in the storm", "a light in the dark", "a hand that
hols us together" in troubled and uncertain times, a "warm fire on a cold night". N1M has helped me get to know you all and keeps me confident that you're all out there, enjoying the great music on offer, by my fellow artists, who put their thoughts and emotions to pen and instruments. One big happy family of music lovers, still seeking ourselves in that special song and finding ourselves when we here it. Keep on ! I love you all and thanks for enjoying my songs, I wish I could be with you all, but I'll just have to sing to you instead. All my best.

Hello to you and all my friends who enjoy listening to my music.
I hope you are all as well as can be and doing fine day to day.
One thing in common, It's music that gets us all through our griefs.
It takes us to a place where we can be in our own movie, using our own script,
being whoever we please and without guilt or explanation. It caters for our
multiple emotions. Anyway, you get my drift ? I love you all. I sometimes
look at your pictures and wish I could be with to have a drink or a coffee,
just to get to know you, I'm sure you would inspire much more music in me.
That's what music is about, YOU !!

It's hard to keep up with all that's going on out there lately, but in between
all that, there is YOU, while there is YOU, I will always have hope and
inspiration. We are here for each other, though far apart, I love you all.
While we have music together, we cross boundaries and distances, we
are transported to a calmer, more peaceful place together. Please stay in
touch with everyone on N1M, keep tuning in and exploring the many talents
I am surrounded with, my only wish is that YOU ALL stay safe and healthy.

A big electronic hug to you all from me. I wish I could be with each of you
over a coffee or a drink, to talk about music and get to know you. I think of
you all constantly and I hope you know how important you all are in my life.
Without you, there is no essence in my music and no spiritual inspiration.
Please keep me on your playlists and in your hearts. I will strive to bring
new music ASAP. Love to all.

Hello to all my listeners out there on N1M. I love you all very much.
2019 was a very soul searching year for me, it went from one extreme to the other,
emotionally, financially, physically and musically. I hope you all handled your own
lives well. 2020 is yet to give up any indications of how it might pan out,
but it's very early days. I'm trying to focus more on my originals and I will keep
you all posted on those projects. I spend most of my hobby time on tracking down
"stereo" versions of hard to get oldies, which are mostly only available in mono when
released. I write songs as well and that takes time. So, much on this year, please let me
know what you're up to when you message me, I'd like you to know you have a friend in me.
Please keep "N1Ming" and keep my songs in rotation. All the best to you all.

Hello to all you wonderful people !! I can't find enough words to say how much I love you all.
I wish I could be with each of you individually, to have a drink and a chat, we would
have so much in common. Music is the one remaining glue that bonds people from all walks of life,
I love traditional, Indigeounous, folk, jazz, etc etc, it really helps to evolve what I do into
a vibe that everyone could appreciate. It's Winter here and I don't like the cold very much,
I know Winter has inspired many hit songs, but I'm a Summer person and I'm not very inspired at the moment.
I hope you're all doing well in your lives, speak to The Cosmos more, about your aspiraions, needs and desires.
Simply go outside on a clear night, look up and talk to stars and sky, you'll be comforted to know, you will make best
friend up there who will always listen and best of all, will shower you with treasures untold. Be patient, be true to yourself
and the rewards will manifest right in front of you. I promise you all I will get focused on my next 12 song cd. I've had
some strong requests for many songs that I think don't suit me, out of my comfort zone, so to speak.
Many artists go wrong there, in my opinion. They should stick to what their fans expect from them and many fade into obscurity because their fans expect a "predictable" and consistent sound from their artists. I've actually felt abandoned,
when one of my favorite artists has changed their format or genre. Anyway, I could talk you all forever,
so, please keep listening and stay tuned, peace and love to you all. Until next time.

Well, please don't scold me. I've been so busy lately, with my 18 year old son,
you know what I mean I hope, if you don't and you had an 18 year old, then you would.
They can take up to 99% of your time and resourcses, which means grabbing the keys to your car and sometimes without telling you, so you can't get out and around to do stuff you need to do. As parents, we comply. Ever heard that song "Cats In The Cradle" ? Well, if you haven't,
grab a tissue to cry on and go listen to the late and great Harry Chapin doing it, he wrote it
and it's actually factual. Well, as parents, we don'y want that to happen to us. Friends, my
point is this, I wish I could give you all a big hug in person and be more a part of your lives,
once I'm past my son's birthday stuff, I'll be much more aligned and focused. In the meantime,
okease let me know how you are all going, so as I can be there with you all. Love and peace
until next time.

Hello to all my lovely and wonderful supporters. You are very important to me and I
have heard your requests for new songs, unfortunately I am only allowed 3 uploads
on my current plan with N1M. I rarely use any form of social media or other platforms
to promote myself, as I am a struggling muso trying to make ends meet. I think it is $100
a year to upload more songs and as much as I yearn to send out new songs to you all,
I might have to delete the 3 I have there for you and reload a new 3 song set. Please
let me know your thoughts and if this is a good idea, otherwise, we'll leave it for the
time being. I love and think of you all the time. Peace and Love for now.

Hello to all of you, my wonderful listeners and new friends. I can't express how important you all are to me and my music on a day to day basis. Just knowing you are all there keeps me engaged and focused. I can't thank you enough. You have made 2017 one of the most exciting years in my life and 2018 promises to be bigger and better. Peace, love and happiness to you all. I love you.
