Podcast Interview - Guitar Legend Kevin Borich
Welcome to another Improve Your Music Podcast. In this interview I’m talking with Aussie guitar legend, Kevin Borich. We met up at the Coogee Bay Hotel on a Thursday afternoon for what was more of a “free discussion” than a detailed structured interview. Kevin will be celebrating his 60th birthday soon but shows no signs of letting up. Even his recent cancer scare served only to cement his resolution to push on, and ever upwards. We discussed a wide range of topics and as with other interviews, I again found it hard to decide what to cut out and what to leave in. Kevin was very forthright in his opinions of the Australian music scene, but his seemingly brutal criticisms stem from a great passion that you couldn’t kill with a stick. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this casual chat with Kevin Borich.
For more information on Kevin, have a look at his website at www.kevinborich.com.au or his MySpace site at www.myspace.com/kevinborich
As usual, this podcast has been recorded and produced by the wonderful folks at Groovy Tunes Music.

Would you be interested in hearing a few of my compositions?
Dedicated to a lake I go to all the time Marin County Calif. I love this place a lot ! It helps me be more physical cause I walk and run around it. The redwood trees are something I missed terribly when I lived near Nashville Tn for a year. That and the ocean!
