suck it and see...







all there in black and white kiddies.
he he he.

Maori TV
Unsung Heroes of Maori Music.
Last night was Camille Te Nahu.
She is good.
Loved her story of listening to Suzanne Prentice.
Her Version of How Great Thou Art is the best I have found anywhere?
Next Week is the great rhythm guitarist Barry Leef.
A mystical figure in New Zealand.
All the dudes who were anyone used to sing his praises and it will be wonderful to see him in person on the Telly.
Maori TV take a bow.

Billy T James
Had time to think about his musicianship and it was phenomenal!
He played the sax with a mighty blow and his leads were derived from the sax.
Thats how you get good kiddies?
And I noticed him doing the main riff from Arthur Smiths "Guitar Boogie"
No mean feat to learn that one off the record.
It baffled me for years and last night I dialled it up on the VLC media player, slowed it right down and got it.
Billy picked it up at full speed.
too much and we all still miss you.

Listened to Olivia Wicks on RNZ this morning doing a piece on ERS back spatter experiments.
Just like C.I.S.
Wow.
Unfortunatley it seemed she did not do any  prior research.
We never learned how many people were actually shot in the head with a handgun recently.
Just like this dude I talked to last week.
Last year he was selected to represent a certain country ata youth thingy.
I asked him a question about the country that the represented and he didn't know.
All form and no content!

Thats the kiwi way dood.
