I'm in a caravan park at Peregian Beach after a wild & wonderful weekend with Fred Smith in Queensland. The adventure started in Newcastle where Robbie Long & I played some tunes in preparation for our August travels. We then popped down to the local park the next morning half asleep & watched the local kindergarten on a field trip & the ducks frolicking while we played atonal music all in the name of finally getting a publicity photo with both of us in it. I then set off for the first leg of the trip to Brissy & with the help of some cheerful hippies & Susan my NavWoman successfully got Jess the van without incident to Ballina, where Rachel, Kumar & some fine & fragrant Chicken Korma awaited. It's great to know that you are marryiong into a family with an authentic Indian chef!! Next stop was freddy's Aunt Lou who is a real champion. I manage to survive all the affectionate attacks from Biscuit her tanker of a labrador who more closely resembled a polar bear than a dog & we played a lovely show at Clovelly Wine Cellars. The gig was only marred by the interesting phenomenon of our super sensitive condenser mic picking up the sound of the trucks zooming past on the freeway. Our toowoomba house concert with Henry & Lou was an intimate affair with the local bushwalking club turning out in force- thanks guys. But the up Front club in Maleny was probably the jewel of the weekend with a cosy roomful & great food, sound & wine. Stay tuned Tassie- your turn next weekend! |
