You wont Believe it but me and Mrs Eddie ran into an Ex Pom called Paul at the Kingston Hotel who was also at the 1970 Isle of Wight Rock concert -
the same as Mrs Eddie and saw Jimi Hendrix do his last show.
Paul particular liked Country Joe and the Big Fish at he concert.
He was only 12, Mrs Eddie was 13 lol.
Paul got done for sailing his uncles yacht across from Portsmith without permission and got nabbed by the police when they tried to sail back as the
Uncle reported the yacht stolen lol
Mrs Eddie got grounded for 2 months as she was not meant to be there either- said she was at friends place in Gosport

Nice one Plook, here it was likely to be timber from the local River Redgum tree (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), an incredibly hard wood that will blunt
the toughest saw. think its called a weed in your part of the world but its Australia favourite tree type downunder.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_camaldulensis
Red gum is so named for its brilliant red wood, which can range from a light pink through to almost black, depending on the age and weathering. It is
somewhat brittle and is often cross-grained, making hand working difficult. Traditionally used in rot resistant applications like stumps, fence posts
and sleepers, more recently it has been recognised in craft furniture for its spectacular deep red colour and typical fiddleback figure.

Redgum were a decent band too.
There is something special about that shot of father, son and daughter in law. If I was creative I'm sure that I could come up with a hundred
captions.
I noticed that the original photo had a strange file extension but Xubuntu opened it automatically in GIMP.

Hilarious. Can you imagine the outcry now if a young person took charge of a yacht. My closest thing was hitchhiking with my younger brother to the
Motocross
Grand Prix. We were 12 and 11 or 13 and 12, something like that. It was hellish in the camping area with drunks driving transit vans within inches of
our tent throughout the night and then we got attacked by older loons who had been glugging party cans of Harp Lager. It was a horrible night that has
put me off camping at moto events for life. It is the same people there nowadays, just fifty years older.
The racing was good the next day though. Graham Noyce I think it was.

Yes it looked like a happy day.
Have you seen the Miles Davis Isle of Wight video on YouTube? It was after Bitches Brew was released. Mrs Eddie might be on that one, certainly she
wouldn't have forgotten it. Absolutely incredible and great sound quality on the video too.
I've now played In the Court of the Crimson King a few times. My jaw dropped the first time I heard Epitaph. That beautiful melotron opening was
Barclay James Harvest's signature sound through to the late Seventies, ie for as long as they were good. Much of the rest of Epitaph sounded very
similar to what they were doing in 1971.
Arguably their best studio album, Time Honoured Ghosts from 1975, has a track called Moongirl which is lyrically similar to Moonchild.
In other words BJH owe an enormous debt to King Crimson.

Indeed it was - have Andy and Kate (youngest son & best man at wedding & partner) here in Kingston now for a few days before they drive back
to Brisbane- Kat has not been to SA before so will be showing her the sites around here. Gets confusing having Matt & Kat (just married) and Andy
and Kate- I tried not to get there names mixed up lol.
Sounds like BJH followed KC closely. I've got several KC LP's but not In the Court as I have not been able to find a vinyl copy for reasonable dollars
but have a copy of the young person guide to KC- which has a lot of Court on it.
Miles Davis funny you should mention - will have to check it out on utube- I brought a 2nd hand CD of the Legacy version 50years of Kind of Blue- 2 CD
& 1 DVD the other day for $4 bucks lol

Gosh I love that record album.
It's been a rough couple of days getting back to work, as the tourist indusrty is getting busier and busier by the day now and I'm still trying to get
back into work mode after Berlin. I still need to upload my pictures and write down my story about it.

While we're still waiting on the Berlin photos and road trip report, here is the video I made of Dir En Grey:
Click here since I don't allow embedding on this one.
Which shows why, for this band, the ladies queue for hours in advance. If you go on time to the concecrt you'll get trapped in the mosh pit and if you
go too late, like I did, you don't see a thing - but at least the sound is good.
