I should add that that is Ivan who comes into the shot and his Zum is second on Paddy's left. Also a accomplished player and regular visitor from NZ. Thanks Ivan!

jeff,
I know both these Gents from having been in their company at Dallas several times,they are very good friends.
Ivan and Myself shared a car wreck this past March and Paddy and I have shared many a beer.
Thanks for posting this clip it shows that there are great players everywhere.
Best regards
Billy

Yes, that was nice Paddy, liked the harmonic run at the end.... steel, good choice! I know you're a Telonics man too... l'd like to get a picture of you on the www.tpa-az.com site.... if that's OK.

Cheers
Mark

Thanks guys, pity Jeff didn't get a clip of me playing on the show the night before - with the full band the song sounds very nice .
Mark thanks mate, your a great player yourself .. yep I was playing through my Telonics rack and into Warren Neilsen's two 1501-4's. I will see if I can find a pic for you to put on Dave's site.
Always a lot of fun at the BBQ on the sunday .. very informal and supportive for new players.

A slight correction Jeff -- Aussie is a small island off the west coast of New Zealand, with an odd attraction for sheep

That was great Jeff !!
Dont suppose you took video of Paddy playing
"Sweet Memories"..you could almost feel Papa John in the room...I told Paddy so...just before I stole his Thumb Pick !!!
And Paddy....be careful with the Sheep jokes.....dont forget I have seen a picture of your girlfriend......you always did finish up with the Ugly ones!!!!

Paddy Long · Post by **Paddy Long** » 22 Jul 2012 4:28 pm

Thanks Tony -- you can keep that thumb pick if you like mate ...

By the way a man would have to be very quick off the mark to beat an Aussie to a good looking sheep !!!

Tony Davis · Post by **Tony Davis** » 23 Jul 2012 3:53 am

Paddy.....I remember last time I met your gilfriend Baaaaaaa Baaara....she told me about the songs you used to sing to her......Ewe Made me Love you......
I will never find another Ewe......I remember Ewe......a few more too but I cant remember them!!!!
Tony

Tony you mutton say things like that

A slight correction Jeff -- Aussie is a small island off the west coast of New Zealand, with an odd attraction for sheep

Yes we like our sheep Paddy, just dont luv em like you guys

A note to rest of the world - NZ and Aus banter is pretty much always this way but we are all mates deep down!

Tony, I did not get that song from Paddy - worst luck. Rest assured I will have the camera rolling next time. I think I will make sure I film all of the performances on the festival day and share with the world.

Tony Davis · Post by **Tony Davis** » 25 Jul 2012 4:22 am

Just to say that Paddy comes from NEW ZEALAND

also known as the LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD

also known as THE SHAKY ILES

WHERE MEN ARE MEN.........AND SHEEP ARE NERVOUS

Really nice playing Paddy and great tone too. Are y'all sure that y'all aren't just having a Zum Steel meeting.

Can't go wrong with a Zum.

Great playing Paddy boy

Thanks guys ... Henry yes Zums are fairly popular in this neck of the woods :-} ... although there was a few Anapegs there as well - although it is Noel Ansteads home town of course.

I will try and get some more things up on youtube at some stage ...but I'm a busy lad :-}
