The Way It Appears - writer, vocal, guitar

Walking Dead Waltz - electric piano

In early June 2019  we got a call from a fella chasing instrument donations for after school music workshops he runs for Indigenous kids  down in Eden. Sounded like a nice guy, and we are always on the lookout for ways to help local kids get a musical leg-up, so we invited Garry down to The Shed. We did have a keyboard doing very little, so Garry came over on a Monday afternoon to check out the keyboard and The Shed.

Garry 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', which you can hear by visiting The Vault.

Garry must have enjoyed hisself in The Shed because he is now a regular visitor,  although we steered him towards the keyboards, cos he reckons he has a rudimentary understanding of same, and at the time we had no shortage of guitarists.

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 he. 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 !! "   Well yea, doing it in The PBGB Shed now !!

Welcome aboard Garry !
