INDIE POP / 80’S ROCK
The two girls in this band come from this little town. It doesn’t surprise me. The gurls here looooooove music more than any place I’ve been. They get really excited even talking about it. I’m not kidding. I’ve had two cuties want to come 'round to check out my music set up :-" If only I was 50 again…

BLUES
I was fortunate enough to play in Wendy’s band in the late 70’s/early 80’s. She was a tiny person with a huge voice, her external appearance was tough and hard but internally, she was as fragile as glass. She was also a lesbian and a Hari Krishna devotee full of conflicting emotions and demons. Wendy was an enigma to me and I think to herself, even more so.
Wendy died recently and took a great big chunk of Oz Blues with her so in memory of a great singer, a gentle soul and an enigmatic friend.
