I played one gig in a band called gentle as anything
We did nips
I played bass
One of the greatest bass lines in Oz rock history.
I was shitting.

we supported this f**king amazing band from the gong called Mother and Son

The guitarist from Mother and Son plays (played?) In another band called Los Tones.
I played with Mother and Son a few times, good fun band.

The bass line from Nips is awesome.

together.

Great bowler.

Just heard the news and was thinking the same thing BBB. I remember there was a test in Aus back in the day. Some wag had a big sign painted on a sheet I reckon. The sign just read Bob Willis runs like a chook.

There was some stage during that particular match that for a period everytime Bob started his run up the camera would pan to the sign and then back to Bob in full run up mode.

The commentators were cracking up but I think the word came down the line to stop it now.
