i spent the day in a lazy way, kicking around at home, i picked up a book and had a look and started to read a tale of ancient greece. the house was silent, but you could hear my heart beat, (boom boom boom) the sun was shining, and the water dragons smiling. hours seemed to pass and i'd fallen into dream, and when i awoke things were not what they seemed. the hour was getting late, and i should not hesitate, so i splashed my face and drove not very far, straight to north avoca.

what was on my mind, you may well ask me just ask away, for on tonights bill was a certain steve kilbey, he would be playing all his hits, and misses, and there was his missus on the merch so i said hello and picked up a new t- shirt and she ushered me right in where i could here this din, it was the soundcheck and kilbey upon the stage, like a rock star and jester, he got the balance right, played a spontaneous captain mission song and then we went along, backstage don't forget, for a quick jazz cigarette. 

a lovely little place, complete with photocopier and bar fridge, we had a lovely chat and soon that was that, steve needed to prepare and after a little smoke, i left him to meditate and outside the crowd was getting large and a buzz was in the air, i wandered down to sit, front row and found myself my spot and then steve came on and played and told his ironic tale, about the rise and fall and rise, he made us laugh and cheer and the audience was thrilled.

the stars and moon came out, and i went to say goodbye, it was lovely to see familiar faces and to meet some new. ryissa and george were there and a girl whose name escaped, but she played me her song and we spoke and it was very good. she smiled and took my number which was the icing on the cake. and as we said goodbye we made a special date.
