GARRY BRIDGES JOINS THE PBGB FRAY WITH 'THE WAY IT APPEARS'

Cuppla weeks back we got a call from a fella chasing instrument donations for after school music workshops he runs for kids down in Eden. Sounded like a nice guy, and we did have a keyboard gathering dust in a corner, so Garry came over on a Monday afternoon to check it out and to see what goes down in The Shed.

He was toting an acoustic guitar. Turns out he plays a bit of this and a bit of that, and has a good few original songs up his sleeve.

Well you know what happens when people like that turn up in The Shed.

Next thing you know, we had recorded Garry playing and singing a solo version of his "The Way It Appears', and it sounds like THIS !!  Nice work thanks Garry. Hope you like it.

We don't know much about Garry, but he seems to have enjoyed his time in The Shed. He has become  a regular, although we have steered him towards the keyboards, cos he reckons he has a rudimentary understanding of same, and right at this time we have no shortage of guitarists. Watch this space............hopefully Garry will soon feature on keyboards on one of our songs.

Garry's musical background ?  Well in his own words............."The son of a Mother who was married to a man. I loved them both as they did me. Eight brothers and sisters filled the house with physical mass. I filled it with noise. Always singing, whistling and banging on things..........I'm still doing it !! "

As for 'The Way It Appears', again in Garry's words..............."The Way It Appears is about a free spirit. One who is never to settle, always on the move. I fell for her, and I hope she gets to hear the song."

Well good luck with that Garry.

Welcome to the PBGB Shed sir. Great song, and we're looking forward to adding your keyboard chops to our songs.
