Say No to Domestic Violence

I was a part of a group who jammed at the White Ribbon Day market even in Frankton, Hamilton (NZ) on 25th Nov 06. We played some blues songs that reflected the campaign purpose. Songs like "It Hurt Me Too" and "It My own fault" went down well. On lead guitar and vocals was John Bisset, second guitar was Steve Watkins, bass was Bill Uruamo, drums was Vernon Matchitt and on harmonica myself. The whole campaign was about raising awareness and challenging men's use of violence towards women and children and even themselves. I believe it was successful. Plus it was a beautiful day and fun had by all. Well done to all those that helped make it a good experience, even the guy who took some posters without paying for them, naughty naughty.

John Bisset and I in the zone, oh yeah baby.

Bill and Vernon keeping us in fine rhythm, nice one guys!

Happy Birthday King BB

In preparing for radio show tonight I'm listening to BB King and am
being reminded exactly why he's called "King of the Blues". He has a
guitar playing style that soars above many others.

I wonder what a legendary Blues guitar player turning 81
will do on his birthday (16 September)?

I read somewhere that BB King can't sing and play Lucille at the same
time? Listening to his album "80" has me convinced otherwise.
