that was a time, z station after z station and some big clear sky and some cold strong winds and just enough rain to keep me honest. Listened to houses of the holy, physical graffiti and coda all in one hit, man that Bonzo was something else. Blew my voice out singing top lung and bottom to trampled underfoot but it came right by the time I got to Dee St. in invercargill, the boy racers were reving hard and every now and then the imports sounded a bit like their grandads' holdens might of when them engines go banging off the shop walls, and then you hear a Holden and think oh yeah maybe not, but tradition moves as much with technology as it does against it. The shows were great full rooms, kind audiences and lost uncles and old chums and mentors and new ones all showed up for me and it means as much as it ever does and considering the rapid waning of the traditions I hope to represent, maybe it means even more? Big questions, but big questions don't stand up to big skies or big engines or big weird dreams so amen to all those and I'll leave the questions to st peter come the big reckoning and the biggest one of all when he puts it on me and says "What do ya reckon?" I'll come clean and say "That Pete is beyond my pay grade but I did my best as much as I did my worst". Hopefully he'll say "You think you're a clever bastard eh?" and then laugh and sneak me in the back way through fiddlers green.

A boy can hope right?

Anyways we go hoping again this friday! the home town show in the old home town, in a venue built on all the good spirits, that feels pretty good to me! tickets are moving so jump on them if you're able.

Friday 28th Lyttelton Arts Factory 8pm

The ticket price should come in no more than an hour and half of minimum wage, but times being what they are if that feels tight just drop us a line.

you can get the tickets at www.adammcgrath.net/shows

as ever forever (or at east until I forget to pay the website bill!)

from my path to yours

peace
