Walk The Lines Of Nature's Palm Crossed

I Was Quite Keen On Silviculture, The Growing Of Trees, And That Was Something I Gave A Lot Of Thought To. Maybe I Could've Gone In That Direction. But It Just So Happened That While I Was Trying To Make Up My Mind, I Enrolled In Art School, And There I Began To Develop My Interest In Music, Parallel With My Interest In The Visual Arts.

Classical Music Only Really Came Into My Life In 1969. I Wish I Had Heard Classical Music And Church Music When I Was A Teenager Or Even As A Child.

I Think It's Really The Job Of The Composer, The Artist, The Painter, The Writer To Present People With Options. I'm Just Really Reflecting The Thoughts And Actions Around Me.

Martin, Dave, And I Get Together And Rough Out A Few Songs And Put Them On Cassettes For Some Reference...with The Actual Music, I'm Not Interested In Objectivity, Quite The Opposite. I Want A Solely And Totally Subjective Experience...a Lot Of Pop Music Is About Stealing Pocket Money From Children.

There Seems To Be An Inclination Among Rock Musicians To Be Very Carefree With Money, But I Negotiate The Best Flight And Hotel Deals On Our Tours To Maximise The Band's Income - I Don't Want Too See Too Much Taken Off The Top Line.
