A bit about meself and other stuff ...

Tuesday Morning ... 3.15 am ..

So I thought It was about time to do summat in Impulse ... and start one of these here Blog things off , Just to see what happens where , and how it all interacts with other people , but mainly mostly myself ...

So, in a nutshell .. I'm 54, slightly colour blind , Retired Professional Musician , and I am a Batchelor Of Music (Liverpool University ) I love Jazz and Classical Music, Yes and Pink Floyd ~ Beatles of course , and Soul Music from the Sixties ~ Think Blues Brothers !!

I have been with a fab girl for 15 years, I have 3 Yorkshire Terriers , all crazy , and each with their own hysterically funny character .. and a 6 Foot Fishtank with 32 Betta Splendens .. Aka Siamese Fighting Fish .. Beautifully Hypnotic ... and great Visual Therapy !!

Until a couple of years ago I did not even have a PC until I was given one for Free to see if I liked it .. Got hooked , found Desktop Sidebar , starting Skinning DS , Tweaking and Modding and that was it .. I was on the search for the Perfect Desktop ... and never looked back .. I 'Discovered' WC and that was it ... Desktop Heaven !! ( and occasionally ... hell , hehe )

For those of you who don't know who I am , I am the bloke trying to get a Desktop Sidebar Gallery up on Wincustomise .. I have had no luck so far , so I will just keep at them until they give in ... Skinning a Sidebar for everything going .. and then complaining to the powers that be that I have nowhere to upload them too ... and why on earth should people have to leave a site to download something that Is part of a bigger Suite /Theme on WC ...

So there you go ... That's me ...

From Time to time I will be dropping a few gags in here and there and hopefully putting in a few screenshots too ..

and datsyerlotfernow !

( er ... by the way .. feel free to add a comment or a gag .. everything is welcome .. Honestly ! )

Yup .. toured with the best ...Over the years I had the immense pleasure of working with ( are you ready for this ...)

The 3 Degrees , Edwin Starr ,The Stylistics , Elkie Brooks , Percy Sledge , The Temptations , The Drifters , The Detroit Emeralds , Gerry and the Pacemakers , The London Lewis Ballet Company, The Nolan Sisters ,The Batchelors ... I could go on and on .. and quite a few Musicals too

I was mainly the Musical Director for them which meant that I used to run the Backing Groups ... I tell you one thing It was hard to conduct and play keyboards at the same time I was nodding my head so much I thought it would fall off ..hehehe !!

Nowadays I am a partner in my brothers recording studio producing music for Touring Shows in between all my skinning and modding .. hehe
