Last night was my friend Dare Jenning's 60th birthday party. Dare is the guy who di the very first Radio Birdman T-shirt in the little shed behind his share house in Coogee ... when we were heading over to meet Lou Reed and wanted to give him a T-shirt. Dare went on to create Mambo. The party was big ... hundreds of people in his vintage motorcycle and clothing store "Deus Ex Machina" on Parramatta Rd in Camerdown. Many famous stars showed up and did a song or two. Jenni Morris. Reg Mombasa from Mental as Anything. Peter Oxley from the Sunnyboys and his sister. My old band mate (from Radio Birdman) Warwick Gilbert, with his wife Julie Mostyn doing blues and R+B. Many others. The backing band was james Black ... they are the house band for the TV show Rockwiz. I closed the night by playing "Aloha Steve n Danno". I had never sung it before, and the lyrics lagged the music by half a beat but it still went over well. In a rough and tumble way. Raucous! Warwick and Julie sang the "OOOO's".
