I started playing guitar when I was 12, and as a teenager I formed a band with some friends. We called ourselves "Fracture" and tried to play progressive rock type stuff. I then joined my older brother's band, "Great Caeser's Ghost" as a bass player. This was more of a straight ahead rock band. We played at the first Livid Festival in Brisbane in 1989.
In 1990 I stopped playing music with any seriousness and decided to study mathematics. Towards the end of my formal mathematical studies, I moved into a house with a guy who liked frailing a banjo. We started working on some Bacharach songs together, and we formed a band called "Cousin Dad". We did a few gigs, but I quit the band because I needed to finish my PhD. When I did complete my studies, I bought a banjo, started learning it, and I loved it. I've played one gig (back in 2010) with some of the "Cousin Dad" guys.
