Description
....before music took over I used to work in outback Australia 1/2 a mile below mining gold and uranium...
At times while underground I would switch off my head lamp and disappear into that utter blackness, just merge into a bodyless nothing .... naturally that got me to thinking . I left the mine and bought a guitar, went broke, busked the bodhran through Canada and Ireland, lost it and then found something more....
....what I found were songs in the paper-mill poisoned lakes of my home town, I found songs in the crystals I once dug for, I found songs for long dead & exploited Chinese pearl divers and in the blue coils of opium they smoked and songs in the obsessions we share most of all.. love and death....
