Sometimes being an artist seems like such a selfish, independent journey. It is nights like tonight I rembember
how it would be impossible to continue withouth the help of special people.

Family comes first. No Doubt. My partner Julie is the best, and I couldnt do anything without her. She
is even sometimes my ghost writer/editor etc. My kids have yet to realise how much help they are
but their inspiration they provide is endless.

Two others who are so important and on my mind today are Ron Gaskin and Ted Phillips. Special guys
who really love music.
