Antonio Forcione Quartet - In Concert. 33rpm 2LP 2008 UK release on Naim label. A truly stunning recording and if you want to give you loudspeakers a real workout and show them at their absolute bet, this album will do it for you.

Yep, had a look at that last week and enjoyed the series @NoCoder......very confronting though and just when you think this couldn't get any worse for hapless Baby Reindeer, it does. Cheers, Keith

LOL, I think you’ll be underwhelmed but it’s in E5 just beyond 56 mins Cheers, Keith

Smoke is a great album and Paul Kelly did that album with Gerry Hale & Uncle Bill in 1999. Gerry co produced the album with Paul and on it he plays, guitar, banjo/fiddle, dobro, mandolin, lapsteel and also vocals.....a very talented musicsian indeed. We first started going to see Uncle Bill when they were playing at the Czech Club in North Melbourne [ah, memories of the hot goulash at the door and the beer...sensational!] over 20 years ago now and then later we would go to a tiny bar in Fitzroy called then The Burlesque Bar, but I think it's now called Bad Decisions. Gerry's guitar store, The Guitar Gallery, was only a few doors away in the same street. I haven't seen a copy of Smoke on DVD and I'd also love a copy if it exists. I do have the three Uncle Bill albums, Special Treatment, One Day In Adelphia and Heartbreak Train on CD and I'd be happy to send you copies if you'd like to have them. Cheers, Keith The pics below were taken of Gerry and Uncle Bill circa 2011 at a hotel in country Victoria.

Hello, Joe, it’s not really going to be a spoiler and one other astute member here suggested it was probably a metaphor and I do agree with him. I can give you the episode and the minute in that episode if you’re interested? Cheers, Keith

He would have been young then, Ian, probably no more than 23-24 years old. I’ve not heard of the High Rise Bombers, but we didn’t go down to Melbourne to live until ‘99. I saw Paul at several large theatres in Melbourne, but also a couple of very tiny intimate venues around Brunswick as well as several times downstairs at the Espy in St Kilda. A terrific versatile singer/songwriter for sure and his music is still in high rotation here. Cheers, Keith

Melbourne was/is a great town for live music and we definitely took advantage of that in the 18 years we lived there. Probably the artist we caught live the most down there was Paul Kelly and I like all his music, but I particularly like him when he turns his hand to bluegrass, for example with Gerry Hale's Uncle Bill and later The Stormwater Boys.

I finished watching Ripley last night on Netflix and it was a very good adaptation of Highsmith's novel and I think the black and white cinematography was stunning and worked really well. Did anyone else notice the one tiny dab of colour in this series? I went back a couple of times to be sure I saw it and I'm curious as to why they thought they needed to highlight that particular scene. Cheers, Keith
