Tom, drop me a line. Somebody asked me if I could do video of an event this week. I can’t do it. Don’t know if you might be interested.

I like your style. As a theatre and gallery manager in Northern Ireland, I am constantly trying to encourage people to participate, particularly in things that seem alien to their experience. There is nothing better than seeing people open up to the world through art.
Feck, that sounded a bit poncey didn’t it?!

So cool that you are located in Liverpool. I’m from across the pond (live in New Jersey, USA), but was in love with the Beatles (of course) and the whole Mersey-beat sound.

I’m sure this is before your time — but you should be proud of coming from a place that spawned so much great music and whose influence still reverberates around the world. Just curious, do you feel any connection with that Sixties music or is it old hat and boring to you?

  Music of the sixties is a major influence on me!! I’m a massive Hendrix and Dylan fan. One of my bands was basically a blues/improvisation trio influenced by Cream/Santana/Hendrix…I Would have loved to hang out in Haight Ashbury in the mid-sixties, probably around ’66, just before the whole world was really aware of what was happening there and it was still special and extraordinary…

    I kind of suspected there was some Sixties influence in your music. We in the States are currently in the midst of celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ first visit to the US (back in February 1964). That was a heady time for those of us lucky enough to remember it. (I was 12 at the time, living just across the Hudson River from New York City — the excitement was freakin’ palpable.)
    
    You mentioned the Haight-Ashbury scene in the Sixties — I’ve just finished reading Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test which is about the very beginnings of that scene. It’s a really cool book — I should have a post about it within the next couple of days.
    
    Oh, one other thing, do you happen to know the song “Good Shepard” by the Jefferson Airplane? They were a big part of that late-Sixties San Francisco sound. I chanced upon it the other day (had a vague memory of it from back in the day, but had pretty much forgotten about it) and it is soooo great. Check it out — it’s got this great guitar part that sends shivers up my spine!
