MORE ON POLITICIANS AND BLUES

THINK ABOUT IT. GOOD PUN, EH? WELL, YESTERDAY'S 1ST ANNUAL GOSFORD BLUES FESTIVAL WAS A GREAT SUCCESS TO MY WAY OF THINKING. A SHORT LEAD TIME, (8WEEKS) TO ORGANISE, HARDLY ANY PUBLICITY, TERRIBLE WEATHER, A CHANGE OF VENUE, FROM THE LEAGUES CLUB PARK TO IGUANA JOE'S, AND STILL SOME HUNDREDS TURNED UP. BLUES MUSICIANS AND FOLLOWERS, DESPITE THE SOMETIMES ROUGH IMAGE, AND THE WELL KNOWN DRINKING, ARE VERY WELL BEHAVED. NO ONE DRUNK, NO FIGHTS, NO ABUSE OF STAFF, NO NEED FOR BOUNCERS, NO NEED TO CALL THE COPS. NO STAT DECS. MAYBE BLUES PEOPLE SHOULD BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY.
