sunday morning quicky

Warm this morning and grey overcast.
Went to the shop for the SST and had a nice walk.
otherwise just sitting here drinking tea and listening to the concert programme.
(just like Ozzy)
the concert programme has to be the best thing on new zealand radio .
NO TALKING, that's why.
except when one particular sheila gets on and begins to tell the world everything she thinks she knows.
Cant listen to Kim Hill or Chris laidlawa any more.
just too many interrogatives, AREN"T THERE?
they get more and more banal by the week.
Its all wearing too thin.
Come back Murray Mexted. He wuz never banal. He was salty and down to earth. Rare commodities these days in a media that seems to be full of prissy prigs who only want to talk about themselves.
top Marks to police commissioner Peter Marshall who wouldn't let the photographer into his office.
Mind your own business you nosy little voyeuristic geek!
I forgot to mention the kid at the Saint Marks Fair yesterday playing the violin/fiddle. He was doing a tune I play on the guitar, "The wind That shakes The Barley" and making a fair job of it. Keep it up kid. It said Suzuki system on the music stand. the world needs more fiddlers and you will find that it can be a very lucrative gig dude. 5*****.  but make sure at some stage you pick up a guitar otherwise the wrist can become fixed. but don't give up the fiddle. ya hear!
And big ups for Alison Mau. Any chick-wicky who digs Hunter S Thompson and Charlie Sheen cant be all bad!
And a maybe for Grant Smithies for his mini review of The Red Headed Stranger.
One of the great all time country albums and I shouldn't really tell ya this but if you tune up the old six string you can play along with this album for hours till ya fingers bleed and you feel good. Dig?
And you have to know that willies best album in my opinion is Me and Paul which contains a couple of Billie Joe Shaver tunes as well as some Willie originals. 5****
