I agree, I lost faith in the whole music industry a long time ago - I think it was around the mid 90's the power, corruption and lies became the most apparent for me, although it was probably around before that, I just wasn't aware ...

Hmmm, that was interesting ...

Nah, played harmonica, as TIGLJK pointed out, the bottles are on his shirt - I haven't seen that guy for a while, but he used to brew his own beer ... which have several stories that are never to be repeated ...

The guy with the curly hair next to me, we played in about 3 bands together over the years - I remember we did a gig out at Kellerberin, in outback WA (if you see the picture on that page, that's pretty much the whole townsite, all they are missing is the petrol station and the pub, which are on the main road through), which was attended by the majority of the town - in small country towns they rarely get a band in - due to this fact the locals all rocked up at about 3pm, and began heavy drinking. so they were quite pickled by the time we went on at 7, there was no 'stage', we were just in a corner and set up the PA and foldbacks to try and make a barrier - but because they were inebrieted some of them still came up and said "I like your f*cking guitar, I f*cking play guitar, do you f*cking know '[insert well known song]', ya f*cking c*nt?" - they weren't angry, this is how they talk ... anyway about an hour later we're well into our set, the whole pub is overfowing with people, I look down at my bass while concentrating on some part in some song, look back up, and the whole pub is nearly empty ... a song later the whole pub is full again. I was thinking I must be imaging things, but it happened about 4 more times through the night, full, empty, full, empty .. we finished up around 1 and I got into a chat with the keyboard player and publican, as we were getting paid and he was talking about how good it was, and asking us if we'd like to come back - anyway, he was saying about when the pub was emptying, there were fights outside, and everyone went to see that, then they would come back to see the band, and he said that from the 'few' number of fights, they must have enjoyed us ... we got paid pretty well, but we never did go back, I think the band broke up fairly soon after that ...

That was probably the roughest gig I played ...

I love that song ...

I always enjoy reading his detailed replies - I'm going to give a blue smurf thumbs up ...

Seen this one before on a day of random YouTube watching, but always good to see it again ... !!!

Yes, was pretty sad - he was in Perth a couple of weeks and I went and saw him a few times at lunchtime .. made a few recordings of him, but never learned his name ...

YouTube copy is here: https://youtu.be/Y4-n5rzjPTo

I saw a guy busking in Perth mall a while ago with one - here is a video: https://www.facebook.com/richard.mortim … 14/?type=3

Let me know if you can see it (if not, I'll do a YouTube upload) ...

Cheers
