Neil this is not only for you and Tom, but also for myself because one forgets dates and stuff. That '74? Fender
Jazz bass has been well used and much loved. Its been everywhere with
me and reminds me of you and great times at Latrobe.
Hey I wish I could sell it back to you... but it wont happen :-)
Of course around these dates Music was constantly happening...
These are the only snaps I have of Latrobe Uni.
Living across the road in the Uni flats was a great fun. Shots of Neil Young and kids; And Lyne
Is that Janette (film strip) - She was fun.
Sentamental as Anything
This is a group that I currently play in with Angela, Fiona and Mark. We play old Jazz standards. Fun! That's my Double bass.
First fretless bass
This is a very old shot. Probably an early garage band or Uni band.
Backwater
Paul on Guitar, Chris on drums. We played receptions at Rembrants and
Abbey Court. At Abbey Court I met Vin Lopes a great Singer /
Guitarist... who happened to own a Rembrants restaurant with his
brother. While I studied Elec Eng (4 yr course over 6 years) I worked 3
of those years at Rembrants in the main stage band.
Abbey Court reception room.That can't be me! Notice the Fender Jazz - still with the original pickups.
Rembrants
What fun working at Rembrants restaurant. Writing charts. Shows. Peter
Nichols (Guitar.Voc), Cathy Della (Keys/Voc), Noel Howels (DMS) and a
show girl.
Jazz bass again
Carnoval
Now there's a very early band. Maybe my second Melbourne Band. Carnoval played very old rock and roll.
The Highlights
The Highlights at the Melbourne Musicians Club - Tony (my nickname), Vic, Lass, JT, Wes
Good memories. There were other band but no photos of them.
Cheers
Rob
