Strictly a demos only performer <br />Jam at live gigs sometimes and have a whole lotta fun doing it
I am writer, and general Mister Nice Guy. I am not a performer but manage to squeak out stuff good enough for others to hear and do better with. Lucky for you lot. I get a few other people to sing and play some of my stuff. I do make Karaoke tracks of my songs and perform them every Saturday night, trotting twix the two local pubs that do karaoke. I have a whole heap more fun than doing covers all the time. Most weeks having at least one new song to try out on the punters. Have seven recorded and getting airplay. And not only on my show Roar Radio either. Backing music for Born To Be Blue is now on a video showing the Esperance service providers. Out soon. More later.

Lyrics
A Long Time Ago. Copyright © Graham Henderson APRA 2007 When I was young, I knew every bird. That came with seasons of the year. And every bush call, that I heard. I could answer pure and clear. I could catch a rabbit with my bare hand. And fish too where mountain waters flow. I really was of the land. But that was a long time ago. Every dog I owned loved me. And served me faithfully. And the wildest stock soon would be. Models of tranquillity. Though the reason was never clear. I knew that it was so. That nature’s creatures held me dear. But that was a long time ago. Instrumental Four Bars. Trucks and tractors soon replaced. The slaves I cherished were mostly lost To changing times that must be faced. No matter what the cost. Instead of spending my free time. Training a youngster I had on the go. I kept busy in books and grime. Missing what seemed a long time ago. But recently I got a DVD. Of my son who’s gone up north. Looking a whole lot like me. With dogs herding back and forth. As he rode tall, tanned and slim. Through a patch of Brigalow. And oh how I wished to be him. But for me that was a long time ago.
