@colinmccredie A favourite word. Wrote a paragraph in a story about that word. Good to see it used.

Always meet your heroes…

Just ask Uncle Jimmy

“Elvis appeared standing next to Jimmy. He immediately shook Jimmy's hand thanking him for coming to the show. Asking him where he'd traveled from, what Jimmy did for a living….”

Thanks for reading

Tomoyuki Trio - High Oxygen Blood

Another slab of underground psych from the band that emerged from the chaos of ‘Up-Tight’, prime exponents of acid fried melters

Fuzzed, distorted, brutal speaker battering, boundary breaking molten magik - & a few surprises

“I felt emotionally lighter after leaving the pool, no matter what issues I (had)…I jumped into the water. This led me to begin using water as a visual language…to heal difficult & divisive issues.”

@barkway_ken I agree, it shows our city in a positive light and the community spirit. Woolies is the shop most people remember fondly, along with the big Co-op.

@simonnicholl Thank you very much Simon. He’s a great, although reluctant story teller, but my CID interview skills teased it out!
