Mark Mc Entee/ Katy Steele/Kevin Nitrovane

Katy Steele and myself playing at His Majesty's Theatre on tues night at the Perth fashion Show for Wheels and Dollbaby. Mark Mc Entee is hiding behind the petite Katy, which is very hard to do.

Performing a list of Divinyls hit songs, tuesday night we gave the A listers a smacking, clearing their ears a little. Mark McEntee is terrifying to be on stage with. He is the King of underplay.

Katy is probably the only person I know who could play front girl in boots that are almost impossible to fill....

Ive had worse gigs.

Mark McEntee's 59 gibson

Bring on Tues evening. I'll be taking to the stage at His Majesty's Theatre, with Divinyls' Mark McEntee and Little Birdy's Katy Steele as we perform Divinyls' hits while Melanie Greensmith's creations are diplayed by some of Australia's best models.

Mark Mc Entee will be playing his '59 gibson junior in the Wheels and Dollbaby fashon show. Combined with my '68 Goldtop on rhythm, it should be a good mix. Mark with an AC30 Vox and myself with a raw JCM 800, seems to working well. Katy is absolutely on fire in rehearsals.

witches

Ha, as I always suspected and most of you guys already know, they can't hide it forever.

I don't know who this particular variety represents exactly, but I do know that they can be caught occasionally in traditional dress. This is semi-battle mode, the nose and warts have not appeared yet. Transport is now purchased on mass through Ikea. Cleaning section ( dusters and brooms). John and Murray B both bought their wives new brooms for Xmas. But they were the wrong colour and they absolutely refused to ride them. 

And as you can see in the photo, it seems that this is where they are most comfortable. However, don't be fooled: the smile is used to mask the next scheme or spell.

They all may pretend to Talk like witches, Dress like witches and Behave like witches, but don't let them fool you, they really are witches.

So all you gals out there, dress as you feel you should, don't wait for halloween.

All you guys out there take note, the cost for this post will be enormous. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about... Indeed

Django

Django Reinhardt was an amazing Gypsy Jazz guitar player from the middle of the last century. He has inspired millions of musicians round the world with his technique and delivery of very fast and melodious Jazz playing. This is even more impressive as he only had the use of two fingers for the most successful part of his career, as his hand was burnt in a fire in his caravan.

He relearnt to play to accommodate his deformed hand and wonderful music was the result of an altered technique. He really was truly remarkable. He tragically died in his early 40s from what is believed to be an aneurysm in 1953.

I discovered ( and promptly bought ) these original recordings last week, unfortunately Hank has blackmailed me into believing they are now his. We shall see, as the afternoon is still young.

Anyone doubtfull to Django's prowess on the fretboard should have a listen to some of his work. Here is a link for a start...

Now tape your pinky and adjacent finger to your hand and try to play with just two fingers. Believe it or not there are clubs of people who in fact do this for real to replicate Django's style. I have a good mind to join their club and beat them over the head with it.
