Thanx Lantern10 for a chance to sing along with George one more time. I was sent this clip by Mookshan and posted it to facebook saying " Farewell my friend, see you at the great gig in the sky ".
I had a crush on George in 1978 and wrote a song called "Georgie" which was one of my first songs. We played in 3 bands together. We will play again somewhere someday....x
Many thanks for the kind comments. I first met George in 1984 when I first arrived in Nimbin. I am proud to say he has been a friend also for all that time. Must have seen him play hundreds of times, and still enjoy every minute. Sadly I can only find three film clips of him. I do have copies of his three CD's.
The really sad thing as he told me a few nights ago is that he has played his last concert. Not going to go into details here Activist1952.
I'm aware. Have been trying to get his daughter Lara on the mobile but no luck. Will try her Mums number. I saw him in October on my way through back to Cairns. Want to invite him up if he wants. My name is Di
I've been listening to this guy for nearly 20 years - after I heard him sing at a party in Kuranda - and was stopped in my tracks. He became a friend. He has a few cds - probably stored under his bed somewhere! -which explains in part why he never quite made it it to the big time!
Microphone is good but lighting is all wrong. Don't listen to the performer - put the light in his face and highlight him! The lit background is irrelevant.

Another victim of the big C.

I am thoroughly impressed with the timbre of voice and quality of delivery. This guy could fill Carnegie Hall!
