The
bits of stuff that fall in the cracks between Life, Music
and Outrageous Fortune. |

poster 2) Birthday boy and me |
Ted's
50th
27.7.14 - We were both coming
off throaty, chesty things, so Maria and I weren't
certain if we were going to show up at all until
we actually left home - and then difficulty finding
visible street numbers in downtown Northcote nearly
thwarted us again, but eventually we made it to
Ted Lethborg's 50th birthday.
We left early too, but not before having some nice
chats with Bren Mason and Ian and Mandy McFarlane
and being plied with vodka, lime and soda
by that irrepressible plier, Dom Barbuto.. |

Keaton and dad meet Betsy 2) That's better! Get
back in yer box Betsy! |
Keaton
turns two!
24.7.14 - I noticed
Keaton's birthday was on Sunday so we rang the Robbos
and sang Happy Birthday a couple of times. We couldn't
get over on the day so dropped in on Monday and
gave Keaton Betsy the bouncing cow. In return we
got quite a bit of chat and a couple of drum solos!
I gave Keaton a couple of demos on Betsy but he
was a little cautious of riding bareback and decided
he preferred to sit on the box. (pic 2)

Stewart
MacFarlane's back in town
9.7.13 - We're not invited
to many art exhibition openings, but one that does
come up with some sort of regularity is the prolific
Stewart MacFarlane's shows. If you've been in town
lately you might've even seen the billboard
on Johnston St advertising the show, which must
be some sort of coup for an exhibition of this scale.
Anyway, I really like Stewart's work and I'd own
one if I had the dosh. I had a word to the artist
early on as he eschewed making a welcoming speech
this time saying, 'After all, a picture's worth
a thousand words' so I immediately offered him a
thousand of my own words as payment. Mind you, I
understood when he declined my offer - my words
would have to be valued at between eighteen and
forty-five dollars each.. |
