Dear friends,

I just wanted to send out a BiG UP to Rhino from TRUE LiVE for plugging us last night during his interview on the Triple J show "Home & Hosed" ...

Yesterday i spent most of the day recording vocals for "Green Eyes" in the studio with KiNG CHARLiE and when 9pm came around i still hadn't have diner and realised that i didn't even own a Radio transistor that actually worked...
So i found myself wondering down Brunswick street in Fitzroy in search of a place that would let me listen to the radio... I ended up in one of my favourite restaurant/bar called Gypsy Bar where they let me, a celebratory beer in hand, hanging out with the kitchen hand amongst the piles of dirty dishes, listen to the radio show just in time for the friendly push... After so many years working in hospitality in order to sustain my lifestyle, i found it quite ironic how this little adventure turned ou to be... All my worlds collided into one!

"If I left You Baby" was played nationally for the first time and I am very grateful to Ryan for making this happen... Much Respect!

Peace, Blessings and Much Love to All...

Dear Friends...

This is it!!! Time has passed and now it's been a year since we started performing at the Evelyn every Tuesday night... I hope you can make it down to Fitzroy tomorrow night (Tuesday 17/10/06) and join us in our celebration! That's a pretty damn good effort i must admit for an unsigned, unknown, original act... Thank you so much for your continuous support!

peace and blessings to all... much LOVE!!!

ps: Big Ups to the Evelyn family for their never ending support, Phil Schreck for all his hard work in order to create the best sound and light show possible for our band and of course Dj Dafoe for rocking the dance flooor every single Tuesday night!!!

WOW!!! ... what a show this was... i felt a fair bit of pressure being the middle act to a sold out show at the Gershwin Room (Espy), especially having to perform after a fat sounding, crowd grooving, Blue King Brown... But i had wind of what kinda show Cody was about  to perform so i felt like being the middle ground and do a stripped down version of my tunes... so no drums no bass no loud guitars... just me, sitting down with my strat & my wah-wah backed by Gideon on Rhodes and the beautifull SiBlings Candice and Rebecca (she rocked it ! it was her 3d show ever with me...) on BVs... i felt compelled and humbled by opening to Cody, i had to give it a real shot and sing and play my heart and soul out... i did what i did... and it felt great to see so many familiar faces in the front line singing along to my words... i never was able experience this until now... 7 long years... For those of you who saw the Cody ChesnuTT gig, i hope you had the patience and opened mind and heart to be part of the experience coz it was definitely worth the journey, the journey of "NOW"...

Jamming with Cody was strange... we did what we did... i had great fun and felt lots of love towards all my new melburnian family...

Hanging out with Cody in his band room was awsome... He is even more of a humble man in person, highly spiritual and probably one of the most soulfull person i ever met, with a kind-loving heart... i say that coz he let us eat his chicken wings and peanutt butter and jelly sandwiches... (no alcohool or drugs here... just pure H2O...) He definitely is at a different stage in his life and the Headphone Masterpiece tunes aren't a representation of what he is at the moment... He had lots to ask and talk about with our Candice, being pregnant and all... (he's a recent father...) but had attention for every body and remembered every one's name (there would have been about 15 people in the room) the singer from blue king brown (i think her name is Natalie, but please forgive me if i'm wrong...) sang him a song on his guitar we all sang along, clapped hands and took group pictures... i left the room with a heart full of love, a soul full of inspiration and restless mind... i was ready to celebrate... at 4 in the morning...

thank you for your support...

cody said 2 things to me: "Thank you for being part of the show" and "Keep plucking" ...

i'll do my best...

peace and much love to all...
