Thank Gazza Newcastle (where we were) wasn’t hit as hard as Sydney and we didn’t get that much in Gloucester, only around 100mm. They did get a lot up stream means there’s a risk of the river behind us braking the banks but it shouldn’t cause any real concern other than soggy football pitch’s.

Derek Trucks and wife’s Susan gig was a top 10 for myself and mate
12 piece band it was brilliant - we don’t have that depth of talent in Aus and NZ that’s for sure and most of them were young which is a plus
Amazing gig

Between the lock out laws and covid the live music industry is rock bottom hopefully governments realise their mistakes and do something. It’d be nice to see it return to those pub gigs by bands that produced AD/CD Cold Chisel Midnight Oil and others that were so successful in the 70/80s.

Yep agree - currently dead in the water
The Trucks band play so many places world wide these days , from what I can see they have concerts until Sept which is pretty amazing
We can say what we like about America love or hate it but the best music comes out of that country by and large

If I could just change the way I did a coupla things earlier on, I’d be lighting cigars with thousand dollar bills (and giving millions to charity). There were so many missed opportunities. And I’m not talking about stock purchases (like shoulda, woulda, coulda ), … I mean there were some real obvious opportunities that I just didn’t take advantage of. A smarter person would have …

Very sensible Pete. A healthy (and sometimes, a little weird) sense of humour gets one thru all kinds of $hit. But I’m still pissed that you have to endure this discomfort.
Reminds of Eric Idle, singing whilst hanging on a cross:
Always look on, the bright side of life,
da dum … da dum, da dum, da dum,
Life is just a $hit, when you look at it,
Sorry, can’t remember the rest. Hilarious tho …

I love the part where he just wants to quickly buy a beard from the market guy (Eric Idle), but Eric insists that he barter for it. LMAO …

You know what they say: some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble; give a whistle, and this’ll help things turn out for the best.

Looks as though new website thread has been taken down
It’s being tidied up - see my earlier post above. Should be back later.
