Well here it is Friday Night again which is the time to slough off the pressures of the week, meet with mates, have a drink and enjoy some music.
At our local pub tonight, 5 mins stroll from my door step and being the Melbourne Hotel in Bundaberg upon which Woolworths has just spent $4,000,000, the entertainer in the Rum Bar which has over 100 rums of which one can partake, the most expensive of which comes at $250 per nip, was Chris Fair.
He is a Canadian who resides in Brisbane. He is quite a talented and I must say committed musician as he drives up from Brisbane (4 hours) to play at our humble venue which he has done several times to date.
His ride is a yellow Jeep Wrangler and he happened to park it in just the right spot so that the Bundy Rum Bar sign reflected off his side window.
What YDNUB means, I have not a clue.
So Chris gets set up and tuned in and before he starts I ask him if he will give us a bit of Creedence tonight. He said "Yeah. Why not." So I said how about Suzie Q.". Then he said "Yeah, I think I have got it." and strums a bit and sings a bit.
So then I say if you want to do the guitar bit, I will have a go at the singing bit. He agrees and we have a go. Needless to say neither of us nailed it but we agreed to have another go at on another occasion.
Here is the real thing which is coming through my headphones now.
After that he did a bit of lick on his guitar and I said that sounds like a bit of hint at Jimi Hendrix and he said yeah and did a top job on this number which he morphed into the next one.
I hope y'all had a good night too.
