Bushman's Ballad

I get invited to play in some interesting places, this weekend was no exception as I attended the Kosciuszko Huts Associations woodworking weekend on a property in Wee Jasper.

Fabulous to see people keeping trades alive that would otherwise be lost to us, and fighting to keep the high-country huts in close to original condition, rather than being replaced by pre-fabricated monstrosities.

Thanks to Nathan for the invite, and all the people who worked to put the weekend together.

Also thanks to Mark for letting me plug my Amp into his PA, and joining me for a fabulous post-gig jam session.
