Change of band name needed now..

 

[Quigs]

Well this one is really sad for moi - Leonard Cohen has said So Long Maryanne.

Dead at 82.

Going to be a hard decision what songs they will play at his funeral.

 

[taipan]

At least the great guitarist Duane Eddy is still going strong.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Reckon hallelujah is odds on to get a gig Quigs.....not even slightly religious but i love that song.

I saw skyhooks once
It was at The Countdown awards in about 1982
I won tickets
I was in the Adam and the ants fan club and the countdown club.
Many years later I discovered that Kram from spiderbait and Richie from tumbleweed were too.
So I wasn't a loser after all?

 

[carcharias]

I cant believe it's on YouTube
f**king love YouTube

1983 countdown awards
I think Icehouse and goanna played as well

Was that in Melbourne? I always wanted to go to Countdown but I don't think my oldies were to keen on the idea. Anyway by 83' Skyhooks were a childhood memory for me and I hitchhiked up the Hwy and landed in Taylors Arm for a year or so. . Goanna would have been top of the charts then though.
Poor old Shirl. My first ever album was Living in the 70's. Remember the day clearly, the old chook got it for me at a record store near Miranda Fair. Years later he would die in the air right above my head. Flew his chopper out west from here and as soon as he went over the range the wind forced the blades into the rotor. Inexperience was to blame.

[Vin Fizz]

Still can't play Friday on my mind on the gtr without stuffing it up.

Fugg I'm with you there Carch. We tried to split the parts up which is fraught timing wise to get it right. Given up on it now.

Spot on re Shirl Cools. Was a long way from where he was supposed to be as well. He was quite an experienced fixed wing pilot, a fact I didnt know until recently.
