go to the warehouse.....................





I got the message out of the ether.
So I did. I wandered around the music section until I had another premonition and bent down to look in a box of CD's and there it was. A NOTNOW double CD of Doc Watson with selections from 1960-62 from Doc Watson and Son and other stuff.


It Really Makes You Feel Just Fine

And this one of Bottleneck BLues.
Yee haaa
Over the Moon.
I have a Vanguard Best Of but without some of these songs on it.
And I got a cheap DVD with Frank Sinatra playing in "The Detective".
I never liked Franks singing much. Too oily but he was a great actor. He played excellent tough guys.
Look for the piccy titles above if you want too much fun!
teeheee
Great Interview with  a Katherine Mayo, violin maker and author on RNZ 9-noon this morning.
She won a Fiddling Competition in the USA in the 80's and Byron Berline (Session man on Van Morrison's Astral Weeks and many others) was a judge.
Good Girl.
But the thing is why are there no public fiddling competitions in New Zealand?
are they too hokey for the highbrows?

Another good Item was an interview with Fairfax Pacific Correspondent Michael Field. Fish stock depletion and the repercussions of Toyota's closure in Australia for electric loom makers in Samoa.
Double jeopardy Mike.
Keep it up and they'll bang ya up.
And the closure of the auto industry in Australia is not about economic efficiency but solely about transferring those jobs back to Japan. Every country in the world is in desperate scramble to provide jobs and if that means fishing out waters on the other side of the globe or shutting down factories somewhere else then that is going to happen!
