The Ukeladies buzz

I had no idea about the impact on the Oz music scene of the Ukes until I ran into Mick in the gym. Mick is the fitness trainer for the Melbourne storm. We have had previous conversations about the state of the 'scene' as we call it, and I feel he is on the same page as me in terms of taste (we haven't had a Neil Diamond convo yet though).

Jake; "What are you listening to Mick?"
Mick; "...various JJJ bands that Jake has never heard of because Lacho likes Bob the Builder better that Jay and the Doctor .... and Augie March"
Jake; "Oh yeah mate, (..very pleased with my rising cred..) I'm seeing them in Brissy.
Mick; "Really? The gig on the 28th with Dan Kelly and the Ukeladies in support?"
Jake; "I know of the Ukes - How do you?"
Mick; " They've done various projects with Dan and Paul Kelly over the last couple of years"

Anyway, you can imagine what happened after that - I spewed on more about my relationship with Amanda than Lizzy did about Joe at the '95 World Cup!!

Can't wait for the Ukes... and Dan.... and Augie.

Who is offering Amanda a car and a mattress? Is it a family member or just an anonymous, shonky, dodgy, interloper? Identify yourself, Harry!
oops.

Hey, K8: nice to hear from you as always but any chance of a WA update? Are John and Jan still with us? What's going on? I know John is shy but this is getting ridiculous. What's "no hands" up to? Is he looking forward to meeting his uncles and cousins at Christmas? Does the expression, "no mercy" mean anything to him? What are you up to?
Talk, godammit!
PS I regularly read Lizzy's facebook page so I don't need any news on her - as far as civilisation goes, she's a lost cause. I haven't experienced swearing that bad since I worked in the coal mines.

Hazza, in the words of Lizzy, "Shit yeah" - we will definately meet up before the show. We are in the process of negotiating a final 'freedom' gig for Joe before he becomes a 9-5er as well, so with Sar, Jake, Kel, Haz and Hazzers soon-to-be-roff-lady, half the audience should have a Roff after their first name.

Kate, talking about Jofus, I have experienced the occasional (how about twice a day) mistake where I am called Joe, so I entirely empathise with Liz (...and now you)!
