OT: Dead hard rockers week

Did her dad work at the Tractor Factory?

I wouldn't have a clue where her Dad worked, but she lived at Picnic Point so I reckon her Dad would have worked around the Revesby - Milperra industrial area.

And I noticed on the SBS news last night that there was a huge turnout for Johnny Halliday's State funeral.

As Max said to the Chief ..... "I know that"

I was only enquiring into the well being of Mercedes Grabowski papa and if you knew of his place of employ.

And anyhow they used tractors in the shipyards to drag the carts around. The tractors might of been built in Ursus but they were maintained in the workshed at Gdansk

Just went to post this up and it's already here, didn't think they were that well known. Loved The Smithereens, criminally underrated...

I'm also quite a fan of the Smithereens, kicking myself for not seeing them at Selinas when they toured here in the early 90s. Apart from their great originals they also recorded albums of covers, including one of The Who's "Tommy", and they had the chops to pull it off convincingly.

So that’s who it bloody was.
The other guitarist in my band and I went together and were only talking about it the other day.
He went berserk in almost every song.
