[Davent]

American Blues legend,Albert Collins said of him "you play the blues, but its not like any other blues Ive heard in my life".
I was born in Brisbane in 1948. Glenn Weatley was a member in my band. In 1970/71 I quit music, and moved onto a commune at Beechworth, run by Fred and Mary Robinson.
My 1st hit song was "I remember when I was young". (which should give it away!)
I was never a mega star, but was definatly influential on the Australian music scene, my mates were the likes of Lobby Loyde, Lucky Oceans and Broderick Smith.

I am......?
