Please Write a blurb on yourself:	Alright! I'm a bogan! AND proud of it.   Not to be confused with what media lable those fuckin idiots on Big (why bother) Brother, I'm a true black jeans, Docs, metal band Tee Shirt wearing fuckin' BOGAN like the rest of you cool AccaDacca / rock music fans reading this.   I play the same guitar my folks bought right back when I was 14 years old. It was my first guitar and the only thing I've ever done to it, is replace the plastic nut with a bone one. It still plays great, although I've got to admit that the Maton Mastersound recently aquired, sounds really fuckin' hot thru the Marshall and combined with my brothers from other Mothers on stage makes me quiver with waves of pure tone.   Now you can guess why I do this (play in Hells Bells).     For the ultimate in listening to bone crunching music you've got to be part of it.   I hope the guys from AC/DC don't think of us as trying to rip them off. It's just the best music to play, really. And my boys are doing it already at 7, 9 & 13. They probally wouldn't been so advanced if it wasn't for their Dad playing accadacca covers - when I'm not doing the original thang that is.   The high school students who I teach to rock, I also admire for their passion and I hope there are many more generations of accadacca lovin Aussie kids stayin true to their musical roots.    Never explain, never complain and always be gracious - and ROCK ON forever!!!
