I wrote Pale Blue Dot after hearing a story on the radio about the voyager spacecraft leaving our solar system. It took 37 years of traveling thousands of miles and hour to get there and it snapped one last picture of the earth which was nothing more than a speck of dust in a ray of our sun. A Pale Blue Dot.

I haven't played in public for quite a few years and that was at the time when we were playing songs like 'Lilly was here' and Beatles songs in threesome called Kato. But I did get the bug when a couple of ladies ten years younger asked for my autograph (in 1990). It was such fun.

My own influences range from Glen Miller, Holst, Thru Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Zeppelin to Tara Maclean, Sarah Maclachlan, and Bob Dylan, Lady Antelbellum, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Blondie, Satriani, KC Chambers, Rush, Robert Palmer, James Morrison, Plain White Ts, Ray Charles, Ralph Mactell, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Paul Weller, ELO, Boomtown Rats, Belinda Carlisle, Bryan Adams, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Take That, AC-DC, Billy Joel, etc etc many, many others that I forgot to mention. At the end of the day I like a funky or good rhythym a clever or humurous lyric, something that means something and perhaps touches the listener/reader in some ways, always open to new stuff. Would love to write a comic opera or a musical.
