Stepping outta the square.


Well, well, well. Here I am, looking at a history of having been in the entertainment industry.  First as a singer, then as a clown for a long time.  Yes, you did read that right, a clown.  My diary for the entire 8 year career in funny land was so heavily laden with bookings, I had to offload a heap of them to a chap I helped to get started.  He became so successful that even today he continues to entertain and please people around his area.  Go Sparky.  Now, a long way down the road, I am making the move to leave my comfort zone.  I have been most industrious and made myself a Rastaphone (Lagerphone).  Mine however has been made with a twist.  It has a dyed mop for hair, a styrophoam ball for a head, a rasta hat, a boomerang for arms and a homemade ukulelee for the main feature.  Ta Da..instant rastaphone.  My friends and family are in hysterics and some in disbelief that I am going to take up a different instrument and get back into music.  Hoping like mad I can pull this off, tuning up the vocal pipes and having such a ball with it all.  Think I have even shocked myself. What the heck, it's all in fun and hopefully a lot of laughs will be had by all.  First step though is to go to a few open mike nights and just jam with some of the guys and ladies I knew way back when.

  2. Hi. When I am in a bit of a zone with the jam sessions, do hope a camera will materialise. May be getting my start on April 2nd this year when I hold my first WWOOF Host gathering. I am bringing the hosts in my zone together for a pot luck BBQ with mixed menu for both meatasaurus's and vegetarian/vegan hosts. Should be a blast.
