A few years before the turn of last century a young man embarked on a journey. Actually, it was more of a quest.. perhaps a saga. Whatever, it involved buying a cd over the internet in the days when it was relatively easy to buy a cd over the internet anywhere, apart from a Melbourne suburb.
Eight months and a quarter of a million emails later, the cd arrived. Undaunted the man set about reformatting those emails into something resembling a script, sold the idea to Radio New Zealand, engaged some actors and recorded an audio feature, padding it out with some music. Luckily, he had a cd.
Ross Ryan, Connie and Me has played several times on RNZ to an enthusiastic reception notably from Ross Ryan and me. Connie Person, marketing guru, has been strangely quiet.

This would have saved Mr Coutts a modicum of grief, but would have been less fun. Connie sounds hot…
I loved that song Honey…. Waah!!! :'(
“Honey” is the song I’m most ashamed of. Rhyming “what the heck” with “hugged my neck” is probably what caused me never to have won an Emmy.
