I may just stop in on the 21st and say hi Cliff.
Long Branch is in my backyard and the wife
is a fan of Colin. You should also have had
plenty of practice by then ;)
 
This I would have come out for, but I will be in Florida (family vacation stuff) end of August.

Best of luck!

Moondog - We'll need a NJ review! ;)

Toledo is a bit too far to travel for a show but Columbus is spot on (catching Velvet Revolver there tomorrow). Good luck! (btw, let us know how the rest of the group likes the Bongo)

Are you in Colin's band, or in a support act?
 
Dude, I'd come and check you guys out, but I'm away on vacation starting the 13th and won't be returning until the 21.

My little brother lives in Shirley, I'd have gone to that show.

Good luck, Glenn |B)
 
cliff how are the shows going? Is he trying to slip you Vegemite? THose aussies with vegemite are like tom cruise with scientology. Last trip down there I had to fake a wired jaw for three weeks. Drinking beer out of a straw wasnt fun but it beat having to ruin perfectly good toast.

Can Colin still hit those high notes? I used to sing some of his stuff when I was younger, like "Its a mistake" etc.
 
Colin Hay is an awesome singer, has the best accent and is extremely funny. I wish I could catch one of those shows. I like his first name too. :)
