Aids Walk Run Athens

When Bob Findlay returned to the music industry in 2007 it was purely to distract himself from the alcohol abuse which led him to largely stay away from the industry and almost cost him his life. He moved to the small fishing village of Stanley on Tasmanias’ far north-west coast to recuperate from a twenty-year struggle with the bottle and began recording again. Initially he recorded songs that he had written dating back as far as 1988. “I didn’t really know what to do next”, Findlay said when I spoke to him earlier today. “I knew I was going to be off work for a while but you can only listen to your own material so many times”, Findlay added with a laugh. Not being particularly familiar with computers, Findlay searched the internet for sites that he felt were suitable and free to join. guitar chords After this his next dilemma was how to get his music from his small mixing desk onto these sites. ”I bought myself a Boss BR8 that used zip disks when it was the best thing out”, Findlay said. “Then twenty minutes later, zip disks were obsolete.” It was during this ‘twenty minutes’ that Findlays drinking escalated to crisis point and he was oblivious to the fact that zip disks were going to be rather difficult to obtain. “For about five years, there wasn’t a day that would pass where I wouldn’t look at the desk and tell myself that I’d do some recording…..then I’d have a few drinks and there went that idea.” Purely by circumstance, Findlay was talking to the daughter of a family friend who was up to speed on all things computer-related. “It all happened so quickly”, Findlay said.
