Eastern Shots

Well once again the Longshots blew into Byron last weekend, in the wake of Hobbsie's marvellous Leonard Cohen adventure avec Peace Frog. Marvel was fortuitously in the neighbourhood, and you can't keep Esmerelda out of the mix once you have that sort of momentum. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. Although it depends to some extent on your definition of fun. Lawn bowls and beer drinking, for instance, are fun.



Whether or not, however, you would call locating and removing a snake from your daughter's bedroom a good time is really a matter of personal preference. I attach a photo of Hobbsie and myself in reptile hunting mode.



In the end it was only about 3 feet of angry tree snake, but the relief was still tangible once he was removed from the equation. In amongst the frivolities we managed to bang out a demo for one of Hobbsie's tunes. It features the dancing digits of Marvel on the piano, begging the question - is there anything this cow can't play?

Anyhoo, without further ado, I give you the first draft of "Summer in the Mediterranean".
