I am an unashamed fan of America and have been since the very first time I heard A Horse with No Name on Brisbane AM radio in the seventies. The harmonies, the songs and their story appealed to me and playing their songs on the radio was always a joy. You can imagine what a thrill it was to finally get to speak to the one and only Gerry Beckley. An original founding member of the trio and then one half of the duo who have, until recently, been performing live all over the globe. With Dewey Bunnell and the late Dan Peek, Gerry sang, wrote and recorded the America classics - Sister Golden Hair, I Need You, Ventura Highway, Tin Man and You Can Do Magic.                Kevin and Gerry chat about the beginnings of the group, the songs and the people they met along the way, a who's who of the music biz and what is coming up in his future now his touring days are over.
