One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching an asteroid fly through the sky, fragment into three pieces, which all headed off into different directions, and then burn up as they hit the earths atmosphere. This happened one night in a place called Kingscliff on NSW north coast, AUS. It was pure magic. Sharing it with a few friends, it is something i will never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a good listener and communicator and I love telling and hearing stories. I am happy to share my music with people and play my music for people as well as teach them about the music that I love. I really enjoy cooking and love food and am always willing to learn new things about it. I am also very much interested in the human condition and learning about the way humans 'tick', I love philosophy also.
