1989

Left the Royal Navy early, under the premise of being a pacifistic which is slightly accurate (that or Bi-Polar)

1988

Turned down a band contract for The Liberty, we were arrogant and thought we were better than the offer.

1986

Joined the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm and became a helicopter technician specialising in radio and communications.

1985

Got a job in a guitar shop as a guitar technician and shop assistant. Enjoyed getting to know all the local musicians and hearing the local gossip, and jammin away.
Decided to go into the 6th Form of school to study A Levels, (post 16 is not compulsory in UK), lasted 2.5 days and decided that I'd rather get a job and make some money, so I did.

1983

A piano arrived in the house and I started some piano lessons with smiling Eunice, she was very well endowed which kept my young teenage interest levels in the piano and theory of music high!
Uncle Tony (Jumbo pilot and Founder of DX Owners club) dropped off a Yamaha CX5 which meant it was game over for anything other than music as a career for me.

1970s

I picked up Dad's guitar (he was in a skiffle group) and learnt "House of The Rising Sun". Following this the flood gates opened to learning more chords, listening to his large record collection.

1969
