Roo with a bush berry glaze washed down with a nice shiraz.....droooooool! (Seriously)
Dingoes are scavengers and eat crap, they're a dog anyway.
Though I've probably eaten dog in Thailand and didn't know it.

Re: The Well Part: LV1......Will S-T
Started at 10 playing Flamenco and Classical and began playing professionaly
at about 14. The 70's and 80's were a big time for multiculturalism here in
Australia and I was working 3 or 4 times a week during high school.
In 1980 I got a scholarship to study (PARTY!!) at the Madrid Conservatorium
where I studied classical guitar and also worked as an accompanying
guitarist at Flamenco dance schools.
On my return to Australia I continued my studies and playing gigs, met my
first wife and joined my first blues band in 1983, Scurvy Dog! Those of us
that are still alive still get together once or twice a year.
Got a "real" job and kept on gigging part time with the band and doing
the Flamenco gigs till Igot divorced in 1990. I crashed for about 12 months,
no gigs, booze, got the sack from the band and generally messed up large!
Got my life back together, started playing again and then the whole
"Gypsy Kings" thing hit. A consortium of musos got together, we called
ourselves the Rumberos and made a killing for about 4 years playing all
over the country, we even had our sound guy employed on wages.
Like all fads it died and we resurrected Scurvy Dog, version 2 or 3 by then,
started a new family my current wife and just did the occasional gig.
Since then I've ventured into folk and country, Scurvy Dog (Final version)
and concentrated on guitar repairs, assembling guitars for customers and
myself and collecting Seymour Duncan pickups since I joined this Forum!
I love this place, the wealth of information shared and the sense of community.
Cheers, Will.

Encourage the women in your life to do it regularly and thoroughly.
You don't want to feel it man, trust me.

Lillee, Tendulkar and Lara. gentlemen, and greats of the game.
As kids we grew up on a diet of cricket, tennis and footy (Aussie Rules)
so if it involves a ball or a bat, we're into it!

I last commisioned a guitar in 1981, it was made by Juan Alvarez (Madrid)
the dude that made the 10 string guitars for Narciso Yepes (Concierto de Aranjuez) It was a " Blonde / Rubia" Torres design. He built three guitars
based on the different "recipies" we had concieved and I chose the one
that I preferred at the end.
To answer your question, there are many "old casa" and new school
luthiers, both in Spain and abroad that can build what you want.
The player today, is a much greater educated exponent of the
instrument than once was.

Best gig was my going away (off to Spain) at the State theatre in St kilda
in 1980, 900 seats sold out and the "SOLD OUT" sign out the front. Guitar was a Juan Alvarez, the one in my last post.
Coolest gig was with "Scurvy Dog" at a biker club house, played like 12 hours
straight till dawn. Requests were handsomely paid! JCM 800 and an Ibanez Les Paul gold top.
Probably coolest gig was doing "Carmen" with the Australian Opera,
nice modern rendition doing real Flamenco guitar and dance.

One beer feels like four! Nah, more like half, drinking prowess here is measured
in "Slabs", two dozen to the slab!
So how would you cook a roo steak? Preferably on a BBQ.
Prawn recipies wouldn't go astray either, though guessing from where
you work, DLT would have some Moose headlight blinded road kill
recipies on hand.

Hi Will !
Have you survived Saturday, with the all-time highest-ever recorded temperature of 46.4 Degrees (115 Degrees) here in Melbourne ? Where were you and how did you survive?
How did you feel, if, like me, you saw the sky as being totally dark grey....with a few small clouds in it....but no rain predicted ?
I hope that you and yours are all safe and well man. cheers, neiL

G'day Neil,
It was a scary day, the sky looked "Apocolyptic" and you couldn't
see the sun at all, just a blinding light with no shape or definition.
I'm out near Calder Park Raceway, lots of grassland, but the only fire out
this way was at the train station, an electrical or generator fault.
I spent they day sorting out all my guitar parts with a few cold ones,
about bloody time the missus said!
Cheers, Will.

Icehouse = great musicians
Men at Work = more variety and fun pub gigs
So, I'd listen to Icehouse on vinyl but rather see MaW live.
