I wish I could sell it back to you... but I can't sorry :-) Some major dates
Latrobe Uni Days (BA of Music)
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 LyneIs that Janette (film strip) - She was fun. Band: Sentamental as AnythingThis is an ongoing group that I play in with Angela (wife), Fiona and Mark. We play old Jazz standards. Great fun! That's my Double bass.(Above) Probably an early garageband or Uni band. (Below) Steps of the family home in Bridges Av Traralgon Band: BackwaterPaul on Guitar/Voc, Chris on drums/Voc. We played receptions at Rembrandts and Abbey Court. At Abbey Court I met Vin Lopes a great Singer / Guitarist (he was filling in for Paul) who happened to own a Rembrandts restaurant with his brother John. While I studied Elec Eng I worked 3 of those years at Rembrandts in the main stage band because of that meeting with Vin.Abbey Court reception room That can't be me! Notice the Fender Jazz - still with the original pickups there. I replaced Graeme Grenache on bass in that band. Amazing Graeme played through an 18" speaker from memory (because that's what you did in those days). My favourite cabs then were 15" speakers. Still bump into Graeme whenever I need an amp repair done he's the man. We also did a stint at the Swagman. Huge barn of a venue. I played some keyboard and in some songs added a sequenced part. Band: Rembrandts main stage bandWhat fun working at Rembrandts restaurant. Writing charts. Shows. Peter Nichols (Guitar.Voc), Cathy Della (Keys/Voc), Noel Howels (DMS) and a show girl. Before that Greg (Piano) and Mike Jordan. Great players.The Neil Young Jazz bass again. More notes on Rembrandts Max Lees Trio & BountyGreat to play with Max and Noel in the upstairs function room at Rembrandt's for a time. Very talented guys. Ryan's CarnovalAn very early band. Maybe my second Melbourne Band. Carnoval played old 50's rock and roll.The HighlightsFirst Melbourne pro band (actually get money for playing regular gigs).My white precision bass with brass scratch plate. Little Girl Blue2015 joined James Ryan and Ali McDonald in forming the band Little Girl Blue. Great bunch. Very talented. Gigging AroundPlaying at the Inverloch Jazz festival (2012, 2013?) with song writer and performer Nicky Chiswell. With Pete and Crispin Newmarch. Nicky also used us as backing when she led music at the SUTS conference (2012-2015) Lots of good memories. There were other band but no photos of them.
