Wed 26 Nov – The Joe Camilleri Medicine Show 1964-2008

A great show; Joe Camilleri playing some of the songs that influenced him with some Chuck Berry classics and some good old rhythm and blues. He was in fine voice too!

Fri 3 Oct – Morning of the Earth

Part concert, part film I didn't know whether I should be watching the movie or the musicians at times, but the whole things was well sequenced and a real celebration of the movie and the era.

It took the audience a while to get into it (I think they had the same sense that this was part film) but they eventually did.

Highlights for me were Lior and Brian Cadd. Lior brought some young voice cred to those old songs and Cadd is the grand old stager of rock and roll, still…

scrobbling has just …stopped. From the ipod. Tried everything but it just has stopped working. Booo.

The first album I ever bought was Morning of the Earth and now they're putting on a concert. It was 1972, and I bought it with Neil Young's classic Harvest

funny how,after seeing Bob Dylan last week, I've started to play the old Woody Guthrie dustbowl ballads again. Maybe it was coz my daughter bought me a copy of 'Bound for Glory', maybe it was because Dylan pointed there too.

I play Ryan Adams non-stop for one night and now he's one of my top artists? Go figure.

I miss johnny cash; I don't reckon I appreciated him enough when he was around. I was afraid of being called a 'country lover' and laughed at.
