As a schoolboy in the 1960s I dreamt of working in Hollywood. Using only my imagination, intuition and wits to guide me, I travelled to and from Australia multiple times in the hope of advancing my career in the movie business in both countries. Whether learning my craft as a filmmaker, backpacking around the globe or indulging in my obsession for attending live concerts, I enjoyed each of my passions equally, but it was my love of music, which kept me on the right track and helped me cope with my mental health issues until I finally achieved my dream. Measuring my life with music has helped me recall experiences both good and bad but more importantly, it has enabled a healing process that I hadn't realised I needed until I began writing my story. The end result might best be described as The Diaries of a Melomaniac.
