I’m going to Melbourne at the end of this month to see Queen at Rod Laver Arena. See what the new singer is like. Saw one video but sound was not very good.

Stray Cats video – did the woman in the short pink dress have undies on? Body stocking maybe!

I bought some socks of the colours we used to call ‘fluorescent’ a couple of months ago. Searched them out on ebay.

Folsom prison blues is and will always feature in my musical leather bound treasure chest . I particularly liked it when it was featured in a movie I saw not all that long ago. Mind you ‘not all that long ago’ could well be 30 years. It seems like yesterday when my bother drove a car as shown in ‘the rockabilly’ piece. It used as much oil as petrol and when he drove into a police car, the copper came out and asked if he got his license out of a packet of corn flakes…
Good times to be had then.

The corn flakes packet could be applied to most taxi drivers around the city I reckon. I’ve become a fan of Johnny Cash more recently, and this choice is right up there with my favourites.

That’s the way to do it Helvi, The beginning is very much rockabilly towards the end mostly influenced.

Reminds me of the old car we used to play in on the vacant block when we were kids, It had no doors and not much of a roof.
