HEIGHTS - Metchu

In 1970 we went into Cherry Pie Studios in Sydney to record our second vinyl record. We chose as one of the songs, "Supernatural", a Peter Green song that we had come to love off John Mayall's 1967 Album "Hard Road". I had just purchased my '69 Les Paul Professional and a hand signed Marshall stack that previously belonged to Status Quo. I remember having grown into guitar playing a Fender Jazzmaster with a whammy bar, so I had to re-learn how to use finger vibrato. I was still learning at this stage! Such a young player then. But I do love the classic sound of the Les Paul out of the 100 watt Marshall. Also love Craig Kirchner's Hammond organ sound through a Leslie speaker and his tasteful solo. Not surprising this minor blues idea developed for Peter Green into his mammoth Black Magic Woman hit by Santana and Fleetwood Mac (Peter was a founding member of course). Late last year I had the pleasure of working with Peter Green's engineer/producer on a recording job. Simon Dodd, knowing my admiration of Peter Green, invited in his brother who is the other guitarist in Peter Green's band. We had a great time taking about the Supernatural track! Apparently we were the first band in Australia to cover Peter Green!

One Sweet Day’ – Song Lesley and Sarah, friends to Kiyan Prince (knife crime victim of May 2006).
A few months after his death in Edgware, close friends Lesley and Sarah, students in my GCSE music class expressed their heart in a song of goodbye. It not only earned Lesley an A* in performance, it took Sarah and others all the way to Glastonbury in 2009 with their own anti-knife crime composition, ‘Walkaway’ and won them the International Nobel Peace of Art Award in 2008, 2 years after Kiyan’s tragic death.
