There is a great scene in the first Matrix movie where Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) says to Neo/Mr Anderson (Keanu Reeves):

“You have two lives, Mr Anderson. One has a future, one does not”

I have always had two lives but for the most part only lived one life and one future. After playing and writing music throughout the 1970’s I made a decision abandon a desire to become a full-time musician and to concentrate on a consulting career around innovations in project management (you’ll find this all on Google, Amazon and iTunes). I used to justify this decision by “not wanting to compromise my music” but, in retrospect, making a living in Australia as a musician who wanted to ignore labels was not a viable option. That career has been successful (I have written 5 books and consulted with many major organisations globally)

One life, one future.

However, in the late 1990’s, inspired by a combination of events (the discovery by some amazing people, after 30 years, of my first album Yaraandoo recorded in the early 1970’s and my daughter’s desire to play bass) I picked up my Gibson and began to rediscover my love for writing music, playing guitar and other instruments
