Don't you just love it when you go to a rehearsal and everyone is on the same page and in the zone? Parts learnt, practice done and even when you play something for the first time it clicks albeit a bit rough around the edges. No stress, just fun! I love music!!!!

For Mr Robson. Did you hear about the drummer who thought a paradiddle was an eel's dick!?

G'day and I'm glad you liked Sydney!

Getting ready for rehearsal. Four new songs to run through today, should be fun! Gotta love long, long weekends!

Happy 64th BirthdayChris Squire.

Happy Birthday Aqua!

Happy Birthday mate!!!

Hey Alex, I hear Slash played with Alter Bridge today at Soundwave!

Hey Carlos,

I used to work with someone called Carlos Delgado here in Australia.

Hey Cate,

Glad to see you! It's always nice to make a new friend. There are some wonderful people on here!

Cheers,

Reggie.

I'm looking forward to playing at the Caro this week. A friend of mine since kindergarten that I haven't seen for ages and his lovely wife (whom I've never met), are coming down from Queensland. Might do something different and do some Neil Young!?

I'm thinking of experimenting with a new dish for Paddy's Day. It's called Gaelic Prawns. Green prawns lightly sauteed with garlic and ginger, served on a bed of jasmine rice with snow peas, butternut, honey carrots and potatoes and covered with a dujon mustard and Bailey's Irish cream sauce. It was inspired by the Irish vibe around at the moment, seeing it's Rory's birthday today and the Caro last night with John and Paul, not The Beatles!? Thoughts please.

Just finished a nice relaxing acoustic jam. Now the Cricket. Life is good!

Just got back from rehearsal and we played with a slide player that added some extra colour and new depth that allows us to expand our repertoire! Woo hoo! I love music!

Just got back from the Caro jam. It's always a pleasure to watch and play with so many great and giving musicians. Thanks, John. "He came dancing across the water...."

My teenage daughter and a whole heap of friends are off to the Mardi Gras tonight. I suggested to her that with the rain about she might think of taking a poncho. Her response was, "that's so gaaay, dad!" Kids!?

Off to play taxi driver, again! "You talkin' to me...."

Off to rehearsal.

On another sad note, my Marshall Footswitch has packed it in and needs repair, so it's a clean sound for a while.

Our pet fish Freckles, who we've had for 8 years has gone to the big pond in the sky today. He was friends with Chester the cat who would occasionally catnap next to his tank. RIP, mate, you'll be missed.

Parra 6-0. Sandow, the buy of the year!

Sometimes when I say "I'm okay", I want someone to look me in the eyes, Hug me tight and say, "I know you're not!"

Sydney

Thanks John (and Rory), for the Irish Tour '74. Good craic!

Two of my favourite musicians celebrate birthdays today. David Gilmour and Ben Keith RIP. Happy Birthday.
