the perfect storm


Last night in Brisbane was a perfect combination – of shitty circumstances.

We both got sick in New Zealand (hey, it’s SUMMER where we live!) and Mark was fighting to not lose his voice, my guitar broke a tuner set-screw so the hi “E” string was detuning by a flat third (!!!) and then my backup guitar was having bridge issues, so wouldn’t stay in tune… argh. I’m hacking up enough oysters to repopulate what BP murdered.

.

Tonite is Melbourne, and though I’m feeling confident, we’re both on tons of herbs & sudafed.  Fingers crossed.

¡Update!

i believe we’ve redeemed ourselves, my gtr sitch is back on course & ML sounded great tonite. Onward & outward (my gut, that is).

    Glad you’re feeling better! Maybe lay off the oysters for a while.

    The latest uploads to YouTube were from someone who doesn’t know the names of the songs. It’s real cute.

  2. I think since BP killed off all the oysters in the Gulf Coast region I would have little trouble laying off of them.

    Did you hear they’re paying cleanup workers $12/hour to bake in those suits? Classy.

    You both have most definitely redeemed yourselves.

    Thanks so much for a great show in Sydney, Dave. So good, so good!

    Just read your previous post… damn I hope my warbling along didn’t piss anyone off.

    Brisbane was still great I thought :-) . The Corner was great too but the Espy was the bomb. Thanks guys for 3 fab shows!!!
    Hope you both are on the mend and enjoy your break before Europe. Its a pity I dont arrive in the UK until late Sept :-(
    Anyway hope to catch you again somewhere, sometime.
