I live in Melbourne, Australia. That makes me an Australian, a Melburnian, a lover of Australian Rules football and someone who eats sharks with his chips and pronounces route to rhyme with boot, and castle to rhyme with vassal. Though, if it suited poetic necessity, I'd have more than enough lack of principle to make castle rhyme with parcel.

Red. A character...a larrikin a supportive friend and a bloody good poet. I wonder who the person behind the name is? 'If One Day I Could Spend The Night' is a work of art and I love all the beauty I find in it every time I visit. Gherkins now make me giggle every time I see them and the strange looks don't, can't, stop that kind of happy. I love to laugh and Red has helped me do that. Slow Movin Tights belongs in a smoky Southern Jazz bar on the lips of a raspy, home cooked musician who leaves his guitar to tell the hidden bluesy layers inside it.
Red has a knack of slowing the pace of his words....and speeding them up at the same time. I don't mind how...or why this talent was uncovered....only that it was, and I'm grateful: -)
