Shit.......that one got past me, I'm also a big BOC fan. My American mate Mike McCook is a mate of Buck Dahma, they live in the same town and jam and ride their cafe racers together I believe.

I was watching morning TV while taking in my morning caffeine hit this morning and Aerosmith, Van Halen and Billy Joel came on. I was saddened to see an old and knocked about Aerosmith, especially Steve Tylor who looked like Keith Richards older brother. It was kind of sad to see a 60+ aged old rocker still wearing 12 layers of chiffon and faux leopard skin with a fake fur 'Mad Hatter' style top hat and silver knee boots as street attire. In contrast Van Halen looked in pretty good shape especially a tanned David Lee Roth who looked to be in pretty good nick for his age and was dressed in something close to modern style. The rest of the band also looked far better preserved than Aerosmith. Billy Joel has aged gracefully and despite losing his hair and gaining a bit of condition looked pretty damn good. Riding his beloved Moto Guzzi's in semi retirement seems to have agreed with him.

.........I've got to agree with both Doc and Firko.....I was born in the late '50s and I love everything through to the late '80s with the odd bit of new stuff thrown in......my I-Pod literally has every thing from Patsy Cline to Marilyn Manson........at this very moment I've got the Allman Brothers blasting out........I don't think I really ever got past 19 years old.

Mick, Mick, Mick.....Eat a Peach is The Allman Brothers Band at their brilliant best. The album was called Eat a Peach in decication to to master slide player Duane Allman who died half way through recording the album after he t-boned a peach truck on his Triumph Bonneville.

A slightly different era, but very sad news of the passing of Chrissie Amphlett today, only 53.

Firko, Gregg Allman at the BBBF next Easter. Will be keeping an eye out for a side show in Sydney. Hopefully there could be a few more from the family coming. Cheers Bill

That'd be a great addition to the program. I don't know if there are too many Allmans left.....Duane certainly won't be coming.

Yeah but if you got GA Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes that would be a pretty good substitute and I would be there.
