He seemed like such a man, and now I'mĪpproaching 38 and still feel like such a youngie.Īlthough I do like National Radio a lot too. Red Tractor performed a low-key, dare I say somewhat dandified set of instrumental version of Gerhard's songs and I toddled home happy in the knowledge of a job well-done.Īlmost 12 years ago I gave Jamie Belich a keg scull (skull?) atĪ 21st I was attending. Second, I like playing at private celebrations, which are always touching and generally show people at their good-humoured best. First, I greatly admire the man, who now bears responsibility for me hectoring the ignorant whenever the New Zealand wars come up. The gig in question was providing background music for Jamie Belich's 50th.
I still feel naughty pleasure at the memory of a smooth-voiced, old-school, NZBC-accented announcer (Peter Fry, probably) gently advising younger listeners that NatRad reserved the right to refuse to play their selections as some prankster'schoice of unpleasant noise had upset the old folk whose sole remaining joy in life was Saturday night requests. Beat that for slowest uptake of a punch line. You know it's taken 30 years for me to notice that The Tortoise features a greatly slowed down can-can. I was driving home last night from a gig and National. I have a funny feeling that Peter Ustinov was reciting the verses. My parents had an LP with the Carnival on one side and Prokofievs Peter and the Wolf. Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals has been a favourite of mine since I was a little boy.
