Your
greatest musical moment? |
So
far (because the best is yet to come, heh heh..) my greatest musical moment
has been winning a K.Yairi guitar in a singer-songwriter competition in
Auckland . It was second prize, but it could have been 99 th for all I
cared.I was just blown away that this beautiful instrument was suddenly
mine. I walked round for the rest of the night literally unable to say
anything else except 'I won a guitar.I won a guitar.' I still play it
as my main guitar 4 years later and I think I will do so for the next
40; it does me proud. (Now that I think about it, this is actually one
of my best life moments). |

thoughts about the Kapiti Live Music Club? |

with some of the great talents we have out here. Kia kaha, kia maia, kia
