Song for Dora

Harrison Roach x First Point

Word on the coconut telegraph is that The Who (or what's left of them) might be coming to our barren island this year.

It's part of what they are calling, the Last Tour Ever.

They'll keep making albums, but the logistics and physical toll of touring are now too much for a bunch of old geezers from Shepherd's Bush, London.

I for one, will be trying to get tix.

"I can go anyway, way I choose

I can live anyhow, win or lose

I can go anywhere, for something new

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose"

"Nothing gets in my way

Not even locked doors

Don't follow the lines

That been laid before

I get along anyway I dare

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere"

from Anyway Anyhow Anywhere by The Who

1973 - 2013

Happy 40th Birthday to all these albums.
(And thank God for good music and good friends.)

Monochrome Monday (The Party)

What's a party without music?

It would be safe to say I've been to hundreds, no maybe a thousand parties - parties with bikies in barns out in the bush; 18ths, 21sts, 1st birthdays the kid will never remember; farewells to friends moving overseas, bucks (bachelor) parties where the groom just makes it home in one piece; parties with bands playing so loud that the cops came to shut them down; parties where I jammed with total strangers; met new friends; lost stuff; parties with kegs of beer; parties with homebrew.... Each unique, but all featuring MUSIC.

Here's a little quiz for the braincells still functioning on a Monday. (Answers at the bottom)

Lyric Zero - "I bought a ski blanket, then I bought a kneeboard "

Lyric One - "When the music's over, turn out the lights."

Lyric Two - "Sun machine is going down and we're gonna have a party."

Lyric Three - "The weekend starts here"

Lyric Four - "Rocked up to a party with some cheap beer"

Lyric Five - "Mama don't allow no reefer round here"

Lyric Six - "I'm gonna make it, yeah I'm gonna make it home for breakfast"
