met in 1999 when Rob was co producing an "Olympic Record" - a CD of original
compositions that united athletes and musicians, and was released to coincide
with the Sydney Games the following year.<BR><BR>Rob and Paul's similarly
positive personalities and musical chemistry drew them into a longer
relationship that is now bearing fruit. Rob's mid-range, slightly weathered
tones complement Paul's soaring, crystal-clear delivery, and it is the blending
of these two distinctive voices - along with their emotive song writing - that
is at the heart of their debut recording ('In the Stealth of Summer' - released
on ABC's 'Roots Music Label', March, 2005). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

after receiving his promotion to rear admiral in 1790, William IV, known as the
'Sailor King', was at dinner on board one of his fleet's ships. He ordered the
steward to remove the 'dead marines' to make room for new bottles. A marine
officer at the table complained. His Highness responded that no offence was
intended. The expression was used in the sense "...that, like marines, the
bottle had given its life nobly and, given the chance, would do it
again."<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
