The Ballroom Blitz

Ha ha....I played a gig last night.
In a golf club in Hervey Bay.
While all the oldies sat there eating their schnitzels and parmies.....and kids ran amok,I kept it quiet with James Taylor and finger picking what could be done with power chords in other venues...and was finished by nine!!!
Good money though.
I have been mentoring a young group who are going great guns and went past the pub they were playing at after I packed up.
The Beach house at Hervey Bay.
It was packed, they were doing well.
Ah, I remember the days when that was me up there, groupies and the like.
Time is fleeting.
No government has the right to deprive you of a second of it, let alone 18 months.

By the way, the lead singer is a great young girl and some of my mentoring involved telling her to let go of the vocal exercises of the modern singer and just sing from the heart. She's brilliant. The young guys in the band are spot on and one is as good a guitarist as me ....ok he's better.....!
Thin long fingers.......bastard!
As we get older it's nice to pass on what you know, and these guys really lap up what me and a couple of other older musos have had to say.
I couldn't hug them hard enough.
They're great.
