Eastern Promise

<p>I started Piano lessons when I was nine years old,also started to have some lessons at school playing Flugel Horn.I joined the Army from school as a junior bandsman, where I learned French Horn and Clarinet. On leaving the Army I took up the Guitar which my brother taught me a lot of, when we were kids,He being very good on all Genres. We both worked with different local bands and then I took up playing keyboards and got myself a nice Hammond M100 Organ with a matching Leslie Cabinet,not the easiest Instrument to carry around,but what a sound.</p><p>&nbsp;Later my wife and myself moved to Australia, where I found plenty of work playing the pubs and clubs with various bands. After six years in Aussie, we returned to the U.K and I more or less carried on where I left off, playing with one of my old bands.At present due to illness, I am unable to carry on,on the road,so I have now taken to getting my musical enjoyment, on the computer ,which is quite new to me. But after doing a few tracks and getting pretty good reviews for my tracks, I am enjoying it and getting into it more each day.</p><p>Probably one of the best bands we supported in England was... The Steam Packet company....featuring Long John Baldry,Julie Driscoll and a then unknown Rod Stewart.</p>
