“Love your neighbour as yourself” is easier said than done. Steve Cheers has worked in many helping environments over the years with people whose stated goal was to live up to these lofty ideals. Consequently, he has reflected on them a lot, because they’ve always seemed difficult to live up to in reality. Still, Steve has known some truly wonderful, selfless people who have come close. Being nice to those we like is easy, but doing the same for people who rub us the wrong way, not so easy. The people who can are amongst those we should respect the most.
Steve Cheers hails from the NSW Southern Highlands, where he worked in and on the regions entertainment industry for 25 years. Apart from releasing and performing his own music and that of his former band ‘Cowpoke’, he has also worked as an artist manager, promoter, theatrical actor producer and director, and with his wife Geralyn runs the local Music Centre which has educated many thousands of students over the years.
Entertainment has run in the bloodlines of Steve’s family for generations, and continues with members of his own family engaging in music teaching, composing and performers and other artistic endeavors.
