This is a little snip of a rehearsal version of this song from a near dead cassette. I love this song, I just don't remember all the lyrics. There is a marvellous recording of it from a live Chapel recording in Christchurch, with Gretchen, Lal and Robbie. The CD which contains that recording and several other crackers no longer reads in the CD player. If you know how to recover these things, lemme know :)
Gretch, Robbie and I got our group going after a Chinese guy who was a regular at my Boodles residency consistently told me that he loved my voice and he wanted to take us to China to sing there. His brothers had a night club. He briefed me about the crowds of 4000 or so and that there would be officials from the government there which I would need to remember to properly address and acknowledge. He then moved on to the repertoire we would need to do. Eric Clapton. I hadn't learn many if any covers, I was shit at working out how other songs went and to stubborn and stupid to learn them from a book. I was an original artiste and wasn't going to sacrifice my art for anyone. Plus I was scared of going to China. I was (am) just scared in general of pretty much everything. Which is what this song is about.
