Playing a variety of instruments, Sam has performed at a large range of venues, and with regular appearances on community radio and television, plus previews on RAGE. Ironically one of the most important factors of this man's song writing was an accident on a motorcycle overseas more than twenty years ago, which then damaged his leg quite severely. At first the doctor in charge was talking about amputating it. But later as saved.

Now that he is fully recovered, from the ordeal. He recalls "I started writing and reflecting upon the reflections of time. I had time to think about mattered in life and time." Once he worked for more than just a living. The music of Sam Green is heart-felt, head-soul music, with feeling, in music and song. His own view is that: "Music is the heart strings of our foundation, on reflection I am a part of a wheel, within a wheel, within a movement of time, I give and I receive, in this balance of the Universe, I seek, harmony and goodwill."

SAM GREEN SINGER/SONGWRITER POET OF OUR TIMES

Sam Green and the Time Machine’s music is a cross between James Taylor and Van Morrison, a bit like Simon and Garfunkel, only original.

Sam was the local watchmaker for over forty years in Swan St. and he began at the age of 9 years old, working after school His father was the watchmaker speechwriter and poet there in Richmond for 58 years, writing Russian and Yiddish.

After father died in 2008 at the age of 95 Sam devoted more time to singing and writing, Sam Green has nine albums, many on ITunes and other outlets, including these two current albums "There's a Tree" and "Love, Love, Love" which are sold on his web site and performances.

He has the web site MrMusicman.com which receives about 14,000 visits a month world wide last count, once he received 100, 000 hits a week, that was in 1997.

In the past he was DJ promoting live music in Melbourne on radio station 3CR Local and Live that was many years ago in 1994.

At that time Sam was also workshop coordinator in Australian Songwriters Association, that was when it was based in Melbourne and meeting were at the old muso club in St. Kilda, now they are in Sydney, a different world.

Music business is like surfing; a big wave comes and can take you far,
Today, Sam Green is host of Local, Live and International a hour show on Lion 1674 also based in Melbourne.

Sam came together with Peter Madden to form the latest Sam Green & the Time Machine, of which there is a free song download, on his web site. He has written much which was recorded from funds of his early royalties including 5 books of free thought poetry, free to download, on his MrMusicman.com website.

Barbara, Sam’s wife who died over eighteen years ago, dying wish that Sam take his music to the world. Having no children, just the children of the world, to pass on his message of how life can be more than a blessing if you try to live in peace and harmony. For his music is truly a blessing of living and loving the road you are on.

Sam Green would love to tour and play all his life, if funded, by more air play. As his father said, it takes two to tango, but many can watch and enjoy too. His music is an expression of a musical poet of our times, in voice, lyric and tune. He would love to play on any program on television or radio. The duo is willing to play for charities. Most things we charge a minimum amount to cover costs. We both have a current working with children check permit from the state of Victoria.
