  Back in college, I actually took a course based on Sagan’s Cosmos and it was one of my favorite college courses of all. How old were you when this happened? Where you already playing the keyboards? Did you have any lessons or were you self taught? What happened from there?

    The VHS collection was a birthday gift from my grandmother. I was 15 years old 🙂

I started in the early 70’s with one of the simplest instruments of all – tin (penny) whistles in various keys. It was hard to fine one that was in tune throughout the range but i was probably not paying enough. I also played the recorder which I had hated in my earlier music lessons in school. My one and only live performance was playing the tin…Read More

I was half raised by my uncle and aunt after my dad split when I was around 3 years old, due to my mum having to work full time. He was a multi instrumentalist, but mainly drums and vocals in his band (before Phil Collins ). My aunt played guitar and sang He was my father figure and hero growing up, so when I was old enough (6 or 7), I began in…Read More
