I've probably already mentioned this to you before, but do you have his "Live at the Harlem Square Club" album ? (yeah, I know, I still call them albums)
Forgot about Midnight Oil; makes me think of the big veinie bald dude.
Kirby-
No, I don't-- I'll have to see if I can get it at my library.
Erik-
That singer, Peter Garrett, is now a member of the Austrlian House of Representatives, with the Labor Party.
I love Sam Cooke...Well, his music, not his lifestyle.
I also love "Watermelon Man". I have a couple different versions of it. The original and one by Herbie Hancock, and the dance one they sampled in the 90's.
If you can't find it let me know. I have it somewhere, and I'll burn you a copy.
