Band/artist history
Ok, I'll try.
First band at school. 2 acoustic guitars and bass (me). We did covers, Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young, America etc, and some originals. (started a rock opera- you know what 14 year olds are like.
Left school, went to London. Joined a band, original 'hippie' music.
Came home, played in many different bands, jazz, rock, I did 2 years in a country band one night.
Was in the backing band of a chart trio for a while.
Did a solo act, covers and gags.

Ok, I'm a humanist. Humanism is the belief that we can live good lives without religious or superstitious beliefs.
Humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values.
We seek to make the best of the one life we have by creating meaning and purpose for ourselves.
We take responsibility for our actions and work with others for the common good.
I believe that if all people were humanists, there would be no racism, no wars, an end to poverty and suffering (as much as possible). Different ethnic groups would respect each other and be friends, while keeping their separate cultures.
The tyranny of organised religion would be at an end.
