Admittedly, I am actually on the Cooper's Home Brew tonight, but THIS video is fantastic..... GOING HOME I always loved this tune, but when paired up with the scenery.....lovely. Best played loud. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Well, you made my point for me I think, Captain....  I personally can't stand that stuff, but if other do, then fine. Music is a very personal choice. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

yep, that was the intention - Good catch! I think a certain style gets embedded in you when you are in your formative years (teens and 20's) and then everything else is (largely) garbage... like "Toddla T" I remember my parents moaning about the music I listened to and I sort of do it today with my kids. The wheel turns, does it not? |

Some kindred spirits. Music like my apprentice plays in the truck until his grumpy old boss operates the stop button :-) Home brew beer, home brew electronics, home brew cars and 260 m2 of back shed to do it all in. What could be better. Looking for some other stuff, actually a home for an enormous collection of electronics magazines dating from the days when it was called Wireless. Australian Radio and Hobbies pretty much a full set from 1939 along with Electronics Australia and Silicon chip from ancient times. was deposited in my shed by someone who thought they would sell, but couldn't find that collector that needed to sell his home to possess them. While very interesting I don't do much electronics these days, rather build cars in my shed after doing techie stuff all day for a living. Like most of the treasure we accumulate the peasants who will clean out our shed after we have gone will just dump it into landfill. I have been trying to find someone or someplace that would like this heritage collection. Any suggestions in Australia?? Thanks Keith Sunny Longreach Outback Queensland |

Hi Keith. Nice story, brings back memories of Longreach and me as a trainee PMG(post master generals Dept.) guy. I did a six week course on the national radio station outside town ,,long time back ,must have been 1970 ,s. I think the Dept. put me in the pub in the Main Street--from memory ,I think it was called "The Welcome Home" pub. I was too young to drink booze in those days , but anyhow ,I had to do my homework-yes, homework, at night .. Those days trainees had to do assignments when away fro the training school. can't remember much ,but did remember the "Silver Scopions". the guys played a joke on me one day , they talked about these silver scorpions. I was wet behind the ears ,them days ,so I had to see these critters.. LOL all round , I was the joke of the town for days,, so embarrassing.. what the buggers did was ,,poured silver paint down the scorpions holes under the radio tower and ,of course, they came out in the sun ,dried out perfectly silver , and died. I was the mug from the big smoke that thought I'd seen everything ,that day .. LOL. hope Longreach is good to you ,Keith . Watch out for those SILVER SCOPIONS.. Bruce Bushboy |
