Thanks for sharing it. I've been thinking a lot about the importance of teachers the past few days. Sounds like he gave a lot. And now I am going to check out your band! I had already heard of them!! Must be the Melbourne connections. We have lots of notes to compare next time we meet. Great story, Ben. Thanks for sharing it.

Dean produced two recordings for bit by bats, we recorded in '05 and '07. He mentored us and numerous other australian bands, while balancing magic dirt, but his focus was family, he doted on his (then) very young daughter and his newborn.Dean was as kind and genuine and reliable as all the tributes to his life have suggested, he touched many, and will leave a lasting legacy upon the australian music scene, and upon all those who met him During recording one time, i couldn't get a good take down for a really simplistic beat. it got the better of me, i threw the sticks at the kit, swore at it and left the building. i returned, dean looked at me and said 'was wondering how long it was going to take for you to do that. but now you'll be able to play.' he was a humorous, calm and knowing person. and very talented. my partner, Anna, pointed me to your post.
