..And another. The only alternative is to put the bike in the car and drive somewhere flatter, which seems to defeat the purpose of the bike, so rapid fitness is being forced upon me as well as expected, and unexpected, aches and pains. As the bike has the down-curved handlebars I get a sore neck…
home rather than call the RACV, (only about 15 minutes away anyway), get a clothes hanger, walk back and break into my van all by myself. I’ll remember to park next to a criminal next time. ‘Never totally discount someone’s negative assessment of themselves’, is probably not exactly what I once read or heard, but…

Mike’s Pith & Wind cont. ..satisfy his thirst for things Hampson and had acquired (from Wales I think) some volumes of Frank Hampson’s work for Eagle in the ’50s. Frank Hampson inspired me too. As a youngster I could scarcely wait for the weekly copy of Eagle to arrive so I could devour the latest…
1) Daz gives the blister on his bottom lip as well-earned rest while Bill has a fiddle and Robbo eats his tuna sarnie Joanne Blunt bustles around organising lunch tid-bits while the audience assembles for a real Spectrum concert
Mike’s Pith & Wind cont. Suffice to say, the most interesting point in the show (up until we left anyway), was when one of the ‘Johns’ ripped off his headgear in full view and tried frantically (and unsuccessfully) to detach his ‘John’ placard (which admittedly must have been quite an encumbrance), before replacing his mask…
Robbo’s blah cont. I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people whom I didn’t thank during my speech. Please forgive me, but I was in another state of being, in a happy wedding trance, intoxicated with marital bliss. Anyway here we go….. On behalf of my wife and I, I’d like to…
Bill’s Twang cont. and maybe even knock a few walls down. If you are at one of our gigs, feel free to come up and have a downtuning rave. Lap Steel and Slide raves are encouraged. Happy Sliding..
The croaking of little froggies, lambs gambolling in the meadow and Spectrum for lunch..
1) While on the plains of Understanding, I saw the body of a man I once knew.. 2) It’s alright, it’s just Bill 3) Russell lays back on The Real Thing again 4) Billy Thorpe looks reasonably pleased with himself 5) Red Symons conjures with the memory of Shirl 6) Jim Keays tries to explain…
The crowd wills Lobby to play on and on..
Mike’s Pith & Wind cont. But I’m getting less sure that I’ve got the time. Film stars and musicians I grew up with are dropping of the coil daily. Friends and acquaintances, family – there’s hardly a day goes by when I don’t hear of somebody I knew being menaced by or succumbing to various…
Bill’s got the GST Blues (with Ken Stephenson in the background)
