After a lifetime of anxiety I had a reaction to some meds that took me over the top. This event brought everything to a head and now I am on a journey to not only recover from that  but face my anxiety head on by learning as much as I can about it. As of this episode I am 4 weeks away from that reaction and managing on meds but I now worry about  how I can free myself from that reliance.  

Late in life (71yrs) I have been forced to face my anxiety disorder. Sharing the journey as I undergo treatment may help me and may also be of interest to others.  There will be several Eps tracking the  treatment I am about to undertake. I am not an expert, I will merely talk through my problems and my opinions on completely relying on professionals to bring me back from "the edge".  Just every day ramblings, I trust there will be all sorts of insights that arise.

When I Was A Boy - Review

"In an age of formulaic pop devoid of melody and intelligent lyrics Killip goes against the grain but to anyone who enjoys catchy hooks and infectious playing the 12 tracks will have you singing along after one playing. ‘Johnny Is A Runner’ is a cracking track and with decent radio airplay could be a chart success. Equally ‘Radioman’ underlines Killip’s brilliant song writing talent and ear for sharp lyrics. Catch this CD and you will love it! Guaranteed."

‘When I Was A Boy’ is a real throwback to good old fashioned “pop” – each song is a pure gem – great pop tracks which you will love the minute you hear them.

During the 1960's and 70's the South Island of New Zealand had it's own music thing going down, bands like Chapta and Link were major players in those formative years. Dave Kennedy, with his unique vocal style and musical input had a big part in shaping the destiny of both these bands. Larry Killip, a bit of an old rocker himself, talked to Dave in some detail about those days. Dave Kennedy still sings and plays professionally in 2009, having decided to go back to his southern clan they are the luckier for it.
