you can have multiple guesses on this
if you get 3/3 in the quiz there is a surprise waiting for you.

Whoops even the quiz master got this one wrong.
Peatle told me he has got this answer wrong a few times in pub quizes
the real answer is   what for it    Pink Bats( an insulation product)

So far Phill and Tig are neck in neck.i have given each a point as they were very close.
its not about cruising it it for a ferry service between north and south islands of NZ
it was commissioned by NZ railways as they have a rail on/off freight on the ferry
they do take passenger too.the stretch of water is Cooks Straight known to be one
of the roughest in the world.While there are plenty of lovely days as in the video
there are some pretty wild ones also.
you are going to give this one a good think its a little less obvious.who commissioned it?

in a previous post Sir Phill commented on modern day songs not being as good as yesteryear.
normally i would agree with this,BUT i have learned there are lots of recent songs writers that
are right up there.I have also learned that often what we dont like is not the song.It is the style
arrangement and production.I have included this vid of Post Modern Jukebox i could have
chosen Kiss or Radiohead or Myley Cyris or many others.
A kiss song done in ragtime  fleetwood Mac in cool jazz  etc
i look forward to your comments

plenty of great versions of this song but this my personal fav 

thanks for commenting Sir Phill
youre not alone, plenty of weird things going on in NZ
sometimes i think i may have woken up on another planet
all the once usual norms seem to have gone down the drain.
having said that it certainly has supplied me with endless song ideas.

Sir Phill that is a cracker of a song.
Peatle says RnR surely that a country song lyric?
