Description

... it's the name for one of our local bands, playing music from the 70's ... *** Let me fill you in, on a recent incidence that happened, when a young Staffi (short for Staffordshire dog) named Coco, strayed on to our property and was quite happy to spend a few hours hanging around with us, while we were working in the garden - when I thought ... hmmm, maybe it's time to go home now - somebody must be missing her and rang the number on the tag and to make long story - short, that's how we met the drummer Tony from 'Late for Woodstock', which was followed up by a visit last Friday to our local Hotel/Pub in Coolangatta 'The Strand' ... BTW - the Rhythm & Lead guitarist Paul, was an old friend of ours, going back to the 90's - well, what can I say ? what an wonderful and amazing reunion that was for all of us, thanks goes to Coco, the dog! - well, the rest is history and the result of today's offering. *** It's also a big thanks to Jacomina (dochtersions) for reminding me, to take some time out and to 'stop and smell the Roses' which I did and Mark (anahata.c), also my son Jeff (jif3d) for inspiration to 'get back on the horse', to post again and last but not least, thanks to the band playing 'The Doors' hit: ...'Come on baby, light my fire' ... it all makes sense now ;P Cheers Brigitte ;))

ROCK ON MUM !!! So it is really a small world after all ! LOL , thanks to Tony the drummer's doxie, it was really great to catch up with Paul again and talk about the past and all things music. A real blast from the past in more ways than one and a super collage of rock pix to boot ! ~Cheers~

And, my dearest, at the end I found your fantastic and very cool series here!!! Aim I glad for Coco who knew it must go for searching you both 'old friends', what an experience this happened to you, I'm such glad for you, dear friends. I think the guitar-player on the left is a lookalike from Jeff, hehe! In a way I'm a little jealous of Coco, would that be wonderful to once appear in your garden too??!!! "surprise" I would scream, and then I go helping you two with the hard work (thinking of my condition !!!??? LOL) So good you both had that unexpected reunion, WOW!

A cool set of pics and a heart warming story. Good job Coco. Exciting to see you back and what a coincidence series of events to get you back. No Ebots coming my way so I am visiting everybody this morning!

As I mentioned, I never got the ebot for this when you posted it, so I wasn't able to comment at the time. Then I had medical tests and am only now coming back to comment. So first, thank you for including me with the people you thanked here---I'm in great company! But, for my part, it's your amazing work and inner eye that deserves the thanks, and if you start posting again, even at a leisurely pace, it'll be a great return for all of us who love your work. As for the story and the pics: Great story! Filled with great connections and serendipity. That you knew one of the members of the band, and were led to another...great story. And you had a reunion afterwards...even better. As for the pics, you got the entire milieu of rock concerts---there's no other type of concert on earth---and the intense playing mixed with the very relaxed appearance of the musicians, mixed with the mix of dress (with an obvious 70s theme---tie-dyed!), and that rock concert lighting, and the action and hair flying, and the intense gazes (I love the drummer's gaze), and so on. (Did I cover everything, lol?) A terrific bunch of shots, put together into a sequence of real rock energy, all unified by your saturated yellow framing (that zig-zag up and down the shots). Wonderfully energetic and joyous, a really affirmative upload. And thanks for including me with Jacomina and Jeff, and of course the musicians. And btw, I heard "Come on Baby, Light My Fire" in a dive in Manhattan, surrounded by more drugs than I care to remember (and I don't mean 'aspirin', lol): I mean, they were in the stratosphere, in the hallways, on the street---and more cockroaches too (a real Lower Manhattan "welcome"), and low lighting and a lot of "far out, mannnn"s...brings back amazing memories. Wonderful upload, Brigitte.
