Its over, It's over, IT'S OOOOOOVER... Bags packed and fair play to Sinead...not one pair of jocks too many!! Fran & Ozzie picked us up and off we went to Penrith Gaels for a 3 oclock concert. The clock on the wall went mad and i played for 3 hours instead of two. Camereon Maher played the first set and warmed up the crowd without even breaking a string or sweat and he helped me close the tour with ''Dirty Ol Town'' '' Viva La Quinte'' and ''Derry''. Rita D called to say well done on the previous night and she'll be home for Crimbo!!! YAYYYY!!
It's been a great 2 weeks and i have some new tunes wrote 3 of which are keepers i think, ''Co. Bondi'', ''Political World'' and ''The Sydney Waltz''... A song called ''Gorgeous Pam' is one for afterhours and ''When the kids are in Bed'' is a wirk in progress.
