I now work in an electronics store during the day. This is great for many reasons because as well as enjoying it immensely, I have access to lots of equipment to play with and try out to see what works well. Lotsa fun.

I have an understanding boss and a female colleague who sings professionally, so lots of advice there and also the opportunity to plug in a load of gear, stick a backing track in the MP3 player and blast some tunes out over a decent sounding system.

I am building up my gear bit by bit - not cheap tho - and have some really good multitrack software (allegedly) coming from another colleague - can't wait.

Oh, and my little brother, bless him, has just moved to Australia (from the UK) to live with his woman - big shouts to Chic and the Tone!!!!
