the first steps 
Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 08:32 AM


my great friend and occasional songwriting partner chris murrell (nautical lyrics expert) recently dug out this pic of our first band to release a record 'the first steps'.

l to r.moi,chris and his brother jem.

although we'd been in a west-coast influenced band before we embraced part-time punk in 78.(we were previously The Maximum Grease Merchants.)

the band was managed by my brother and co-conspirator jon.(the 'johnny' of 80's pop sensation 'johnny hates jazz')

had the beautiful and supremely talented shelly pieken in writing for a day with david munday and myself.
working on saturday is usually a drag for everyone but not when you're with a classic american songwriter.: )

also back in touch with dave 'ex-xtc' gregory.what a gent.he's played on many records i've produced over the last 20 years.and always 'gives it some'.
a terrific musician and a bit of a hidden genius at string arrangements.
