Some great players there for sure...there was a type of playing by some Melbourne players led by Hanna that included the likes of Russell Smith, Wayne Burt, Bob Starkey. Kind of a rock and rockabilly blend, Wayne Burt does it really well. I think it was a sign of the times when we were more isolated and hand no internet, mates played together and taught each other licks and tricks...a little bit like different accents in spoken language. You could tell a bit about a player from where they came.

Yeah, you're right about that Melbourne sound... in the late 70's there were all of the bands that played the venues like the Station Hotel, Kingston Hotel, Bananas Lounge, Tiger Room etc... bands like The Bleeding Hearts, Sports, Millionaires, Bel Air Bandits, and before them The Pelaco Brothers, Autodrifters, Relaxed Mechanics, etc... so many great bands and venues.

I have the dubious honour of being banned from both the Bombay Rock and the Croxton Park Hotel in the late 70's early 80's..... ah the good times

Might be time for me to follow a  Zappa quote and "Shut up and play your guitar"...

Better do the shopping first though and maybe watch Richmond cop a hiding.

Note however that there are two meanings to the verb 'practise'. Practising your football skills is not the same as practising your religion. A practising solicitor or doctor is not a beginner.  ^_^

Well, for your edification...

 

Was really just taking the pizz. Tiny Tim and my son when he was 3 year old are the only uke players i have seen/heard. Until I watched the video above the uke rated with the recorder.

 


Oh next weekend is the Melbourne guitar show.  You can pick up a uke for ~$20 Samael :)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
