The Music Thread

So now I'm somewhat suitably impressed. Had a yap with my supervisor about what his involvement was with this band, Aldern. Turns out it's all bloody him on his lonesome. Wrote the music, wrote the lyrics, done the artwork, sung the lyrics n played the muzak as well. obviously way to tech for this old luddite, but he played n recorded the music on keyboard ( piano ) then digitized it and turns the digitized stuff into the full range of instruments, drums n guitars n whatnot somehow. All from a bloke who looks n comes across as a mild n quiet inner suburban hipster the bloody sneaky little metal head.
 
Just watched a great doco about Buddy Guy on NITV. Just love that man's music, must spin a few records of his soon. Check it out, likely on SBS on demand.

Last week I watched a doco which must have been NITV too, about Roberta Flack which was also great. She has a voice to die for.

Seems they are playing a pile of music docos at the moment, Monday Aretha, and I'll have to look up what else they have. So good.

Saw Buddy Guy at the Old Greek Theatre on Bridge Rd around 90-91. He ended up walking through the crowd with his guitar
and playing outside on Bridge Rd.

I'm trying to remember if I ever saw Buddy Guy (seem to remember seeing him), that sounds familiar, I think I was there too. Can't think of any other place or tour I could have seen him.

Late 90’s I went to see Steve Earle at the Central Club, Richmond, and if memory serves me he invited Buddy Guy to join him on stage.

Yeah they're old but I think I'd go & see this band again even if they were in wheelchairs.
Gives me goosebumps. Can't wait until this ACDC tour hits Australia.
Could get kinda scary n hard on the old eyeknackers ToOheys, if they still run with the segment that suggests the girls get the fun bags out. Mass display of saggy baggy old floppers could be hard to recover from.

I’m not sure that’s ever been ACDCs bag (so to speak). Last time I saw Motley Crue out here on the other hand..:oops:
Certainly was when I watched them at Marvel some years ago. Think it mighta been when they were doing the tribute to Bon segment n Johnson was chirping the girls to get the fun bags out, bit disappointed that many had bras on instead of free swingin in the breeze.
