BluesBro's World Downunder

This was a gig for New Zealand Music Month where we aimed to have the most guitars playing together at once. We got around 740 of us together which was very cool, but the world record is 6,000 which we will try for next year. By the way my t-shirt says The man with the most guitars wins, quite appropriate don't ya think?

I've been down in Carterton playing with an APC and some other machinery, taking photos to go on a slide show of my song Another Stretch in Iraq. I was hoping to get some real photos that I would be allowed to use, but so far I haven't been able to convince anyone to share, so I'm making my own in the meantime:)

What a shame Mr Marley is no longer around. But their music still attracted more than 35,000 people to Rotorua.
I remember, when the taxi driver said
I can't take you into Trenchtown
It's not safe there
Especially for tourists
And I want to keep my reputation
So no, tourist don't cry
No tourist no cry
If there were any tears on the weekend it was tears of joy

None of my UB40 shots came out, cause of the light and the fact that my SLR doesn't have a viewfinder LCD display, but they were awesome.
So were the Wailers. So last year I went to Bob Marleys house, this year the Wailers came to mine.
They oversold Ragamuffin by a mere 7,000. How do you do that by accident. Anyway it went off, what an awesome day and night!

If it rings, its not me, cause I'll be at Ragamuffin, the reggae festival with bands including UB40, The Wailers, Katchafire, The Black Seeds and loads more. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. If you have a Twitter account, you can catch some updates from me at http://twitter.com/BluesBro. If you don't have Twitter, why not do something about it, its free and you can keep up with me lol

The guy that booked me sent me this pic from his phone

Wonder what they sound like

Just started working on my new song Muriwai beach which I finished last weekend. I thought I'd be able to record a demo today, but I'm still getting the phrasing right. Hopefully soon.

Also waiting on my friend Charly Nice who recorded some sax for me on my previous new song Blues in an Air Conditioned Room. he sent me a first cut. I told him I thought it was missing something, maybe drums and bass, so that awesome guy has gone away to have a look at those for me as well. I've nev3er met Charly, but he is becominganother good friend who I ould never have known without the net.
