the great carterton wheelbarrow race...








on this morning.
the park is filled with people agog and in eager anticipation.
A nice lady playing old American folksongs on a concertina and smoke coming off the barbie.
be here or be square.
too much fun.

little more research and exercise of the index finger and google images and hey presto a full panoply of images for dinah lee and herma keil.
if you can find the Dinah Lee album then you can here realy too much guitar comping from the great Dough Jerebine and Herma Keil was no mean slouch on the axe either!
Played Pie Cart rock last night and pretty good for a bunch of kiwi jokers in the 60's.
Herma Keil and the Keil Isles do a ripper little version of Gene Vincents "Say Mama" and  I cant get it out of my mind.




finsihed reading Trinities last night.nasty little novel about bad people with a philosophy to match.
what is right and what is wrong.
is virtu or virtue the best for everybody?
it gripped me so much I couldn't even listen to the football.
both the Super 15 and the NRL went in one ear and out the other....
Found a copy of Chasing Goldman Sachs last week so that is the project for the weekend.
How Wall street stopped being a utility servicing the world financial systema nd became a thing serving only itself.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

On a Carterton theme I used to go to dances in the 60's and the band was Melvin and the Signatures.The singer was a a handsome devil named Manuel and the girls all called him Manuel Labour 
they used to do this number by Billy Bland Called Let the LIttle Girl Dance and I finally  tracked it down for the chords and lyrics.
watch this space.

Great piece in the Dompost on Friday.
It is good to read stuff by somebody who is fundamentally decent and you can feel it through the ink.
yes indeedy.
