| So muzza came round, played my guitars, we went to the pub for lunch, came back and played a little more. Mainly we talked.
It was really enjoyable but there are no pics of two bearded middle-aged guys sitting chewing the fat. It wasn't an attractive sight.
He plays a very mean blues harp.
We plan to do it again every 14 years. At his place next time. Feel free to join us. |

| I'll be dead. But you are very welcome to attend Karl. Hold a seance and I'll visit from the great beyond - Schroeder in Himmel! |

I notice you failed to pass comment about my terminal mediocrity in the stringed instrument category. But that's understandable, considering your current 'nice' phase.

Thanks for having me Schroeder. A very enjoyable day despite the constant phone interruptions from SWMBO. I'd never played an 'A' before and hope it won't be my last.
So... I've met my first OFCer, and had to travel to the other side of the planet to do it. Saw lots of photos of the tours, which is as close as I'll ever get to attending one - assuming that they continue. Look out James, you're probably next. |

I think the guy on the right could even be younger than me. |

Your view from the back door is different to mine.
I'm only an hour and a half from Brisbane, given a good run. We should alternate venues and get a regular AOFC gathering happening.
Oz, we're heading to the Hunter Valley at Easter, so we may be passing through your area. Gotta spare bed or 2?
James, try a 'fill flash' for photos where the background is much lighter than the subject. (Just my $0.02) |
