my friend .. everybodies friend daryl died today

Sad loss and way too young. My band opened for Darryl in his Cotton, Burns and Morris shows in Adelaide some years ago and he was a very approachable and friendly guy.

I will miss playing with him.

I only met him the once playing at the same outdoor festival in the mid 90' s... He was very nice and friendly ..nice guy

Rick, what was the occasion of that photo, do you recall?
Stuffed full of aussie rock legends!!

I believe it was a beer add session in a studio
Somewhere
And yes I like it because they are all there
All in there prime .. All clearly mates
It's very Australian

I saw Russell and Brian at the Norwood Hotel in SA, recently, doing a show together. Great show and obviously still great mates, a pity there are a couple from that photo that have left us now.

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but it's driving me nuts.Who is the bloke next to Billy Thorpe in the "spunky" T shirt - I know his face from Countdown a long time ago, I just can't place the name.... Ray someone??

Ray Burgess - Touch Me!

Was it Ray Burgess and Mike Mead on Flashez? Think it pre-dates countdown in my old memory ;-)

I went to a tribute night here in sydney for daryl last night .. it was kinda poorly attended
but heart felt by a select few in the room ..

I reckon there is a point where being an old rocker isnt as cool as being a young rocker

but the old rockers can certainly still sing !

Saw an old Spicks and Specks ep with all the guys in the photo doing a song. They called them the Happy Hour Club, when they were all living in L.A. at the same time. Rick Springfield even still had an Aussie accent..
