The local music community here was dying for a place to record, so we started doing acoustic, folk and bluegrass and then did rock projects for other bands, as well as for my son Tal and my own work.

My family is full of musicians, and a couple of times a year we get together and jam at my cousin's studio. We improvise and have a great time.

I played in garage bands and rock and roll bands when I was in junior high and high school and saw some of the great talents of all time in the local area where I lived.

My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.

Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.

When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.

I'm in a band, and we play music. And that's sort of my way of still being a rock star.

I did some stage when I was a kid, around 16 or so. I was living in Melbourne and had a band. I was quite young. We weren't very good. Then I found a band in Perth. We played around for three years. We're in the 'History of Rock'N'Roll,' a book about Perth music.

All the people I hung out with were musicians.

Well, I've never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.
