After Pop Mechanix quit, a year selling encyclopaedias door to door throughout Australian cities and small towns gave me more confidence, useful for solo entertainers. I returned to New Zealand in 1984, as bungy jumping was revolutionising adventure tourism, and small towns provided opportunities for solo musicians. Friends visited Queenstown and told me of seeing guitarists in the pubs and suggested I do that, and musicians advised me to meet John Harrington, previous owner of the Hillsborough Tavern, where Pop Mechanix had performed, now running the Christchurch Entertainment Bureau, booking acts at various bars and private functions. My first paid solo performance was at the Valley Inn, the next night at the Redwood Tavern, and soon I had regular Friday and Saturday work and occasional Thursday or Sunday shows. Over a few years I expanded to touring the South Island. I had a family starting at this time, and provided a good living and lifestyle while my children were growing up. An AKAI four track with 12v DC power recorded a cassette of original songs, called Welcome to Malvern County, this original album was popular and easy to sell, and over a year sold over 1000 copies. I approached Campbell McClay of Onset Offset records, and recorded Long Nights Walking in the Wasteland in the spring of 1989. Extra performances came each ski season, on the ski fields at full volume or in lodges in the mountain areas. At Ohau Lodge, I met Russ Williams, an American soundman who’d worked with Pat Benatar and the Rolling Stones. During a few weeks Russ schooled me up considerably on sound, and sub woofers became a permanent part of my Bose sound system. The bass was turned down on my mic, and up on my guitar forever after. We booked 3 afternoons a week in Nightshift studios for 3 months, with Arnie Van Bussell engineering, although some of the songs were also on the earlier cassette, a lot of new guitar parts, and keyboard or bass lines had to be created, learned and practised, and quite a few of the songs used up Roland the drum machine’s entire memory. I loved working with Arnie, a reclusive genius completely at home in his studio, with a lot of knowledge of how to get the best out of well-used gear, and even some homemade equipment. The process is often tediously slow, and the costly hours fly by too fast, but we were happy with the result. Russ Williams came in for the final mixdown and provided useful advice and a fresh set of ears. During the recording I had mounting pressure at home, having come from a farm, I understood intrinsically the need to produce something which would provide later, but this kind of involvement by an artist is too much for some partners, “which is more important, me or your music?” So I was living away from home for the last part of the recording and very distraught. There was no chance of major touring with such a scenario, my goal became to be with my family. Long Nights Walking in the Wasteland received good reviews and sold a few thousand copies, various radio stations were ok about playing songs or even the whole album, and it lifted my reputation as a performer. 00:00 All Night Long 04:41 Dreams 08:13 Don’t be Afraid of the Night 13:04 Wasteland 16:33 Go On Walking 21:05 The Last Drop 25:57 The Poison Wind 30:51 Backtracking 34:16 Standing On My Own Two Feet 38:28 Change 47:02 Meditate 50:30 Long Time Coming
