Matt Croke's shrine at the Chapel of Reflections
Vale Matt Croke
18.3.16 - I woke up at 1.00 in the morning fretting about some details that I might incorporate in my reflections on Matt Croke's life and eventually got up and wrote down some notes. I needn't have worried - when the time came for my chat most of Matt's life had already been covered and it was just some personal anecdotes needed.
It was a modest and unpretentious ceremony yesterday at the Springvale Botanical cemetery and probably just as Matt would've wanted, although he had plans to craft his own Croke branded guitars amongst other things so bowing out now wouldn't have been on the agenda. I'll take it as another salutary warning.
