Re:we are spoilt
GÂ’Day tggsb, Unlike yourself, IÂ’ve never experienced the Blues TrainÂ’ so I cannot comment on why I think the Blues Train formula works, but every time someone describes their BT experience, it starts me wondering about a Rock & Roll band on at least one of the carriages.
A gradual introduction of blusey rock & roll may work? A transition from bands that donÂ’t mind playing in a crossover blues / rock style like Jeannie Lush & Bad Blues Boys, The Zephyrs, Itchy Fingers and Detonators etc. Then gradually introduce bands like Lowriders, HJDÂ’s, The Shakers then all the 3 piece rockabilly bands etc????
Before she took herself & her big voice up north for a 12 month holiday, Marisa Quigley from Chubby Rea & The Elevators were regular faves on the Train. I believe The Bad Blues Boys have made an appearance on the Blues Train also.
I agree with you Shane, We ARE spoilt in Melbourne and IÂ’d love to see all the Blues Train carriages filled with rock & rollers Â… it would make for some intimate dancinÂ’
PS. The Tassie thing is a good idea Bug!
Live & let Live, Love & let Love, Rock & let Roll, plus related clichés.
