For The First Time In My Career,

In Some Ways, My Gift For Music And Writing Was Born Out Of Tragedy, Really, And Loss.

Musically, I Would Never Run Dry. Any Time I Sit Down To An Instrument, I Could Write A Song.

The Thing That Started Me Painting Originally Was Seeing Bambi When I Was About Nine. I Was Incredibly Disturbed By The Forest Fire That Killed Bambi's Mother, And That Distress Gave Me The Impulse To Create Something, As A Way Of Dealing With It.

Paul Simon Started Piling Up A Lot Of Words, More Than The Bar Could Handle, And I Stopped!

When I Was 19 I Went To Art School. I Had Six Months Of Teaching Myself To Play Baritone Ukulele Under My Belt So I Was Sort Of A Novice Folkie... I Was Singing Folk Songs At That Time.
