“It was a thrill to be photographed by Chris, and to hear all about him growing up in Northern California and blagging his way into every gig he could.  I was too busy laughing at his stories to remember to do Blue Steel for him - which was just as well. I’m thrilled, too, that he’s donating the proceeds from his auction of these very cool NZ Music photos to MusicHelps -  a charity dear to my heart - that helps get music out into the community to heal and change lives, while also looking after Aotearoa/New Zealand music workers”
