I have wanted to do a post on Greg Quill for quite a while now. Today I read this wonderful tribute written by David Pepperell.<br />

<span style="line-height: 16.08px;">Dear Greg Quill - a lovely big bear of a man with a heart of pure gold. He first came into my life when he brought the wonderful Country Radio down to Melbourne</span> and stayed in Greville Street, Prahran, the Haight Ashbury of Australia in the early 70's. I loved his songs and I loved his singing - he pioneered the Country Rock sound in Australia and his band played so pretty - why they even had a full time harmonica player in Chris Blanchflower! I've lost track of how many gigs I saw them play but I do remember they were all full of life and colour. His set at Sunbury 1973 was such a contrast to the mostly Blues'n'Boogie bands featured there and was certainly a relief from the earsplitting volume of Thorpie, Lobby and Co. He wrote so many songs to his famous girlfriend, Tina Terry, including Gypsy Queen and Terry's Tune and listening to his songs on this new tribute CD to him - Some Lonesome Picker - I wonder if they weren't all written to her. Of course they could also have been dedicated to many other girls he loved in his life. I saw him play at a Hotel in Spencer Street on his last visit here and was delighted to hear he had lost none of his ability to move people with simple, heartfelt songs. His death soon after was a terrible shock to all of us who loved him - and they are many. Now his long time compadres, Kerryn Tollhurst and <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1131594394" href="https://www.facebook.com/woodcall" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Chris Blanchflower</a> have combined to put together this fine tribute to Greg's song-writing featuring the cream of Oz singer-songwriter talent - <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1316414960" href="https://www.facebook.com/richard.clapton.98" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Richard Clapton</a>, Shane Howard, Paul Kelly, Glenn Cardier, <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=684652380" href="https://www.facebook.com/mike.mcclellan.507" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Mike McClellan</a> and Russell Morris - with a few Rockers rung-in like Ross Wilson,Doug Parko, Joe Camilleri and Brod Smith.This is a marvellous album that just gets better with every play and I heartily recommend it to anyone who loves good songs, good singing and beautiful playing. Vale Greg Quill. Hasta La Vista dear old compadre. Vaya Con Dios. This lonesome picker will never forget your song.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Played drums for a time with the Starving Wild Dogs, a blues band with Wally Mudd (Warwick Wyld) who played harp and sang, others will know who the other members were. I also played guitar for a short time with a band at Whitty’s etc. but I don’t think it was the Dogs. Jim is a Kiwi and also played in bands with fellow Kiwi guitarist, Red McKelvie. [Jim was from Timaru which is where Red McKelvie now lives.] This was 1969. In 1970, I was the resident guitarist (Peter Knox was the bass player) at the Ball Pants coffee shop in Brougham Lane at Kings Cross and cooling my heels after a failed relationship when Jim Crowley tracked me down at my flat at the Cross. He asked if I wanted to join a band that was going to Vietnam. I thought it sounded like an adventure and the band flew out in February 1970. From that time on Jim and I shared many an adventure over the years, living together and playing in bands in Australia, Hong Kong Thailand etc.</i></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>In 2002, Jim lived only a few minutes away from where I live here in Epping, but we had not seen each other for quite a long time. I rang out of the blue to borrow a mike stand only to find to my horror that Jim had passed on two months prior on 17 March. His liver failed him. It was a big blow as I was not able to be with him through his sickness before he died, and missed his funeral. He left a wife and two fine boys. Jim’s father died at 57 when Jim was 13 and Jim died at 57 when one of his sons was 13. His heritage was Irish and he had revived his Catholicism some years before. He left us on St Patrick's Day.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Wally Mudd </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>In July 1979, Jim Crowley and I were sharing a house in Paddington and we moved to a house in Naremburn, north of North Sydney where we lived for several years. After much persuasion on Jim’s part, we managed to extract Wally from the scene at - the Cross, Darlinghurst etc – and he came to live with us. I cherish the times I sat with him in his room when we played guitar and he shared a couple of songs he had written.“Since I came to the city how my life has changed, All of the people and all of the names'.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I remember the chords and a few more words of this and he only played it once! I would love to have a copy of the whole song. I was profoundly affected by the way he disappeared to another world when he sang, seeming not to be aware of himself or the room, opening his eyes at the end as if to suddenly become aware of his surroundings again.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It must have been his destiny as not long after (I think Jim and I might have been on tour with John Williamson), Wally suddenly packed up and headed back to the never never where it seems many a good person had been lost. Within a couple of months, sadly, Wally was gone, I’m afraid. </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Paul Johnson “Pig” </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>One night I was on the way to Ball Pants coffee shop where I was the regular guitarist, I heard a voice singing that I thought sounded like a cross between John Lee Hooker and Nat King Cole. He was actually young, white, tall, brash, already life worn and possessed of a wonderful blues voice. He played guitar and blues harp and I spent many a night playing my electric guitar for him and delighting in his vocals. A lady who often performed at the “Pants” known as Leonie (later performing around the traps as Leonora Jackson) had a “party” at her flat. Pig’s party trick was to ask for the lights to be turned off whereupon he de-trousered and set fire to a huge fart. Perhaps he should have been nick named 'Blue flame' or 'Methane'. One night at the Ball Pants he was standing there playing on his own and his song finished with rapturous applause. He obviously felt that he was below par that night and that we should have recognised it as he ripped off his guitar, threw it on the floor and said “You are all f**d! You know damn well that was terrible!” and strode out into the night. In the 80’s, some 16 years later while on tour with Digger Revell I ran into him in Melbourne where he, having now embraced country music, was performing ‘round Melbourne in a duo with his girl friend. In 2008 I was trying to track him down and discovered that he had died in the late nineties. So sad and disappointing, a CD of his is available from Dave Dawson’s website.</i></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Paul Wyld “Dog” </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>You would think the nickname dog would describe a wild man but Paul, as I found him, was quiet and a gentleman. In 1977 my country rock band Rainshine was signed to a deal by our manager Colin Petersen, (former child star of the movie 'Smiley' and ex Bee Gees). Paul came to Alberts Studio and played piano on some tracks. The tracks, never released, were "Miles Away" (written by our Drummer, Shane Flew), "Flashing Lights" (written by me, Ralph Graham) and "Old Cowhand". His playing was a delight. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Mort Fist </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I didn't meet Mort in the Taylor Square days, but much later in Tamworth in the 90's where he wrote for the local paper and was everywhere during the Country Music Festival in January each year, soaking in and writing up the music scene as he saw it. I liked Mort and he would often turn up to see our band. Eureka!, playing Celtic rock (Folk Rock) and some rocky bush songs, was not your regular Tamworth fare but we went over well and Mort, who told us he loved the band was almost embarrassing in his gushing praise in print. I was so saddened to hear of yet another premature passing of a lovely man."</i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.. I remember it.....firstly, thanks Izzy for accepting my request and thanks Google. The BP was always a warm place to walk into. I got to the X early '69 and like a lot of others I was searching for the fabled "summer of love" and the source of the uprising against the establishment. I didn't find either but had fucking great time trying. The memories of the X at that time tend to be fairly romantic but the fact is it was a monster that sucked people in and spat them out as quickly as they arrived. I saw fresh faced people with big smiles on their faces and a sense of adventure only to see them six months later looking wide eyed, homeless, hungry and desperate. It could be very cut throat and you needed a keen sense of survival. I spent just over two years there and left because the police were after me. I had been busted for possession of a "prepared opiate, to wit morphine" for a second time. I was given a six month suspended sentence and ordered to live where directed by the probation office. I was also ordered to stay away from the X....yeah right! A couple of months later I was walking down Williams St. and the cop who had arrested me was driving up the other way...he saw me, I saw him and I ran and ran and ran.. That was the end of my days at the X.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, the good times....Waldo and Izzy doing The Fugs, Fish and Fire Engines, Phill Raymond "Season Of The Witch", Brian Wakefield, anything from Big Bill Broonzy, Steve Hat doing the whole Beatles catalogue, Rusty (Andrew MacKenzie, I'm still in contact with) doing Dylan and Sarstedt, Lynley ? (i was in love with her) doing Universal Soldier and Cohen, Pig great voice and harmonica) anything bluesy, Pete (Popstar) Canon doing Animals covers, Ralph Graham and his Rickenbacker, also a great voice, who seemed to be able to belt out anything. And my dear mate Frank Kotoudges who sat there and plugged away on bass behind most of them. There were the characters that made it all insanely sane as well.</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><i>Remember Adam? He was always half naked and wearing a builders apron, Dutch Andy, who stood drunkenly on the gutter outside The Goldfish Bowl and threatened the cops that he would jump if they came any closer, Old Mick, guardian of the fountain, the GI's, Sunday at Hyde Park with Webster, tripping at Coopers Park in Coopers Bay, Acid Tests at the Mandala Theatre in Paddo, muso nights on Mondays at Caesars In Place, The Mandarin Room, the French girls, Whittys Wine Bar, the little Italian restaurant just past The Coconut Jungle where you could get a bowl of spag bog for 75 cents....I often wonder what happened to all those people I met during those days. Frank and Rusty I found by sending a letter to the Wollongong newspaper. Anyway, I could go on...everything's cool and it would be great to read any add ons to what I've written. Peace out....</i></i></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alison Road, Randwick</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My relationship with young Jim came to an abrupt halt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Errol Wood, had secured an apartment on Alison Road, he had an area in the lounge room for himself, my room overlooked Randwick Racecourse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inmates and outpatients included:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Annie Kelso, Wally Mudd, Keri Phillips, Brian Dewhurst and Bobbi, Bob and Kathie McGowan, Dave Miller, Crazy Wayne Barnes, Neil Bramley, Gary Ross, Virgo Doug, Ian McIlvray, Ross Darmody, Paul Wyld, Charlie Watts, Steve James, Anna Henry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Primed with a good dose of Becks 'Truth', we headed off to Taylor Square. First stop, The Beauchamp to chat with Alan Johnson, Dave Cook, Sonya K,</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> The Ox, Terry Blake and Bob Doubtfire/Dartfire (sp), from the Whisper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Around eight, Wally and the boys dropped by and we all trundled up to Whittys Oxford Tavern or further down Oxford Street, to</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> F</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">rench's Wine Bar. French's featured The Foreday Riders, a predominately a blues roots band and the Battersea Heroes, headed by Mr Terry Darmody on kazoo and vocals, Peter Nehill tea-chest bass, Hewson, and Dennis 'Spiderman' Burke, washboard.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Around midnight, after a quick snack at the Chew and Spew, a gaggle of us zipped on out to the Greenwood Tree Hotel in Paddington to catch the last hour of Jeff St John (and hopefully an eyeful of Peter Anson). One fateful evening, Graham's friendship ring slipped off my finger and flew across the crowded room never to be seen again. I don't think I went back there after that incident.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took over from Little Sue (Challis), waitress at the Yellow Cab Restaurant (off Darlinghurst Road). Wally, dropped by for dinner on the house each night. I made enough in tips each night to cover the cost of a packet of ciggies and a few ciders. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took off to Newcastle as a tracer for a tattooist. this endeavour went pear shaped,. I hitched a ride home with the Valentines.</span></div>

Came across this snap to day of Doug Parkinson and crew, most interested to see young <b>Billy Green</b>, He played with The Epics at Surf City, around 1963. I located him on Facebook, and had a short chat to him. Billy now prefers to be known as Wil Greenstreet.<br />
<br />
He is currently living and working around the traps in the States. Those that frequented Surf City will no doubt recall Billy Green, who could forget that mop of curly blond hair and that cheeky smile. Johnny Dick teamed up with Billy Thorpe around 1965 and Duncan McGuire formed Ayer's Rock in 1973. Billy joined The Questions, then In Focus which morphed into <b>Doug Parkinson In Focus</b>. Duncan McGuire died in July 1989 from a brain tumour.</div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify;">2008, whilst rummaging through my memorabilia, I came across a negative. I took it along to the nearest camera store to be developed. I was blown away, in my hand I held a black and white snap of Wally Mudd and me, in 1973, a photo taken by my husband when Wally moved into our terrace in Batman Lane, Surry Hills. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1973 Wally and Lynne in Batman Lane, Surry Hills</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><strong><br /></strong></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
My jug band days! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My pulse quickened as I recalled the time I spent around the Taylor Square area. I wondered where Wally and the boys were now? I did a quick search and located Red McKelvie on Myspace, Red had put up a tracks from his latest CD. One of the tunes he had named, "Wally's Song". Dare I play it? I did and I cried, it was a tribute to the days at Taylor Square, to Wally Mudd, his brother Paul and friends.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></strong></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />WHITTY'S WINE BAR '67, Oxford Street, Taylor Square</span></b><div>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proprietors Cec and Joan Whitty</span></b><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a day's slog at the Sydney County Council I cut across Hyde Park and made my way down Oxford Street towards Taylor Square. Looking quite the part with denims and tee shirt I anticipated a night of jug and blues with The Starving Wild Dogs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First stop was Cecil B Fardouli's delicatessen, situated between Whittys and the Chew and Spew, corner of Flinders and Oxford, where I purchased a wizened stick of cabanossi, a crusty bread roll and a lump of cheese, these items, I complimented with a number of ciders as I awaited the band to make an appearance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Up front was Wheezin' Walter T Mudd on vocals and harp, his brother Paul 'Doggie' Wyld on keyboards and the dapper Terry Wilkins on bass.Many band members came and went, Red McKelvie and Chinese Chris on lead, Charlie Watts, Jim Crowley and Daryl MacKenzie on drums. Mort sat in on occasions treating us to his soulful harp and tempting us with his jug.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a very clear memory of Terry announcing that he was changing his style of playing the bass guitar. He traded his use of the plectrum, for an upward finger stroke. (clarify with Terry). Terry a Libran had studied to be a teacher prior to joining the Dogs. He was ever so neat, neat moustache, neat jeans and neat shirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The place was packed, and patrons spilt onto Oxford Street. The guys ripped into their repertoire of blues and jug: 'What's that Smells like Fish Mama', 'Mystery Train', 'Messin' with the Kid', 'Dust my Broom', 'Stealin' and Willie Dixon's 'Walking Blues'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around '69, the 'Dogs' moved into 290 South Dowling Street, Paddington/Darlinghurst. Faces I remember are Jim Crowley, Wally Mudd, Sonya Kereopa, Terry Wilkins, Paul Wyld, Sue Challis, Allannah, Stuart West and Steve James. I took up temporary residence on top of a sideboard under the stairs!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The terrace was electric! a different vibe in each room. Terry had the downstairs front room, people gathered there to share their latest musical discoveries. Anna, Red McKelvie, Bob McGowan, Kathy James, Swannee, Martin James, Lindsay Bourke, Hamburger Joe, John A Bird, Sandy, Phil Manning, Shane Duckham, Neil Bramley, Dave and Moya Sturdy (twins), Pip, Adrian Rawlins .. laughing, laughing, laughing...a revolving door so to speak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tenement extended out the back onto a courtyard and then into another terrace which housed the overflow from '290', Sonya Kereopa, Larry Knight, Peter Gatehouse, Peter Gardiner, Alan Johnson, Dave Cook and Alan Johnson are a few of the crew I recall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Steven 'Sudsy' Sutcliff arrived at 290 one evening, paranoid as hell. He had been listening to The Rolling Stones 'Satanic Majesty', and was convinced that the Stones were sending him messages via the album, he placed a glass to the wall and listened to 'the voices' being transmitted by the D's (detectives). Poor Sudsy, his life ended abruptly from an overdose, we had little knowledge of schizophrenia in those days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We often shared riffs and blues info., good clean healthy fun. However, one rainy Sunday afternoon someone suggested we have a raffle. Names were placed into a hat, I drew Steve James. Steve and I were mates and were happy to jam for an hour or so. The fact that we had conducted a raffle led to much speculation. My friend Errol Wood visited and moved me off my prime position on the sideboard and into his flat in Alison Road, Randwick. The rent was seventeen dollars, my share was three.</span></div>

Wally, hat perched on a mop of curly hair, first caught my eye at Rhubarbs, (a cavern-like venue in Douglass Lane, off Liverpool Street. He was backed by a wild looking bunch, calling themselves the Starving Wild (Wyld) Dogs.Wally's quirky movements and staccato singing, the wail coming from his harp and the passionate rawness of the blues sound emanating from these young lads was beyond compare . . I just had to meet them! I implored my mate, Mort to introduce me. He agreed, and the following Saturday afternoon we caught the bus from Miller Street, North Sydney, hopped off at Wynyard and took the 318 to Bondi Junction. I loved Mort's company, his childlike passion made every encounter take on a magical quality, he was a born actor and the world was his stage. </div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A short walk and we entered a huge terrace . The sun. which streamed through the hallway, illuminated the house in a manner peculiar to terraces. Wally was sitting at the base of the stairway engrossed in a conversation with Allannah. A loaf of Vogel bread owned the kitchen table, accompanied by a bread knife which laid expectantly beside it.</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Warwick Wyld, aka Wheezing Walter T Mudd and I formed a friendship which endured throughout the Taylor Square scene and beyond, we shared a love of old folkblues and spent many a night singing and strumming our guitars. I was enamoured with the personae that was, 'Wally Mudd'. Hw was not one to talk at any length about himself. However, one could always catch him blowing his harp with any band around the traps.</div>

<i>'hi Lynne um I went to Australia 13 Aug 1967 haha I'm pretty sure I didn't actually MEET Wally until the I showed up at the Oxford Hotel on a Thursday night to play with the SWD's maybe 2 weeks before that Shane Duckham let me and Bob? and a NZ drummer Warwick Lee play a set in one of their breaks at the Oxford. Bob ? ( lived with his mum in Jersey Rd Woollahra) great guy must have arranged it. Terry Wilkins was playing gtr with Shane Duckham abt a week later Terry showed up to a party at our flat in Liverpool St and we jammed a bit on acoustic gtrs then the following week he came by and asked me would I play with the SWD's at the Oxford that week 'cos their gtr player had gone to Melbourne and couldn't get back to do the gig so yeah I went there and met Wally and Darryl McKenzie haha and away we went they asked me to stay on and I guess that wuz the break I'd been waiting for ! so I guess the short answer is I met Wally at the Oxford abt late Jan 1968</i></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
<i>I only saw Waldo that one time and from the audience he did have straight fair hair and played geetar as I remember I had a chat with Lan last ngt in the course of the conversation I remembered that I had seen SWD's play at the Oxford before I joined them Paul was playing an upright piano at the windows end and his girl friend was sitting on the piano watching him play Rod was the bass-player the drummer was a guy called 'Hutch' in the photo you have of Rod I can see by the shape of the windows 'curved' at the top that is upstairs at the 'Oxford Hotel' this would've been late 1967 but I didn't know anyone yet. the geetar player I filled in for haha 4 abt 8 months wuz 'Chinese Chris' and when i went to the UK he got his gig back and that's him in photo of 'Matchbox' EX S W Dogs taken at the Kings X Bar BQ and you're in the photo all good stuff I met Waldo only one time I went to the 'Ball Pants' in the Cross and he wuz playing that ngt the name Rob Jamieson doesn't ring any bells I'm sorry Peter Knox told me once that he gigged with Waldo at the "Ball Pants' great to hear from ya cheers .. <b>Red McKelvie'</b></i><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">'I think I first met Wally through Terry Wilkins - we were at the Oxford I one Sat afternoon with the Sons playing - my memory is pretty shot. Terry would do his usual 'table hopping' chatting to everyone including musos. We really loved the music scene in the 60s at Taylor Square. Wally and I were always good friends. I wonder whatever happened to Wally's girlfriend Trisha who went to Hong Kong c1966/7? </span></em><i><b>Allannah Wooloughan</b> '</i></div>

Rummaging through memorabilia, I came across a negative. I took it along to the nearest camera store to be developed. I was blown away, in my hand I held a black and white snap of Wally Mudd, Bob had taken in the lounge of our terrace in Batman Lane, Surry Hills. <br />
<br />
I located Red McKelvie's site on Myspace; he had released a CD and put up a few sample mp3s on his Home page. One track in particular caught my eye, <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></b><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/f2odbglc0g" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>Red McKelvie "Wally's Song" mp3</strong></span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </span>.. dare I play it?

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paul 'Doggie' Wyld aka The Wizard was Wally Mudd's extremely talented brother. Paul was rather mild mannered and into Vogel bread and soy. Together they took 'Taylor Square by storm' forming a jug cum blues band The Starving Wild Dogs Piano Band. I first met Paul in '67 he was a Meher Baba devotee. I haven't seen Paul since he joined Blackfeather in 1970.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Information found to date on Terry Wilkins, the dapper bass player in the Starving Wild Dogs. Terry joined The Flying Circus in September. 1970. I browsed the 'net and found a link to Terry under, Bradley's Bouncers. and have touched base with him. In 2007, Terry produced a CD for Dennis Aubrey, his younger brother who is based in Australia. Terry has played in various 'swing bands' over the last 40 years. He was nominated for the Maple Leaf Award and was successful in his field.</span></div>

The tracks in between make a mighty tasty sandwich filling indeed. Monk's "Beshma Swing", an upbeat "Come Back Baby", "Goodbye Train, "Groundhog", "Nowhere to Go", "Just about Sunrise" and some bluesrootsy stuff including: "Devil Got my Woman", "Motherless Children", "Sleep in Late" and "So Many Roads". Certainly good listening. Terry has kindly consented to my putting up a track or two. What a difficult choice! .. Lynne</span></div>

"Hi, My name is David McDermott and I came across your blog whilst doing a search for Terry Wilkins, I went to the same school as Terry in western Sydney and also knew him when he played with Quill in Darlinghurst, cannot for the life of me think of the name of the joint! Is that Phil Jones of the Unknown Blues fame on your page? I have "If I had a Ticket" on my MP3 as well as the Python Lee Jackson song that Rod Stewart sang the lead. Oh what memories. Dave McDermott"</div>
<br />"Hi Lynne, we played at the Kings Cross Bar B Que for abt 3 weeks we were 3 pce then Terry Wilkins, Darryl Mckenzie and me we went to 'Adam's Apple' Joan Whitty's club cnr Crown and Oxford Streets after Tully left where we become 4 piece when Keith Barr joined us. <br /><br />I don't think we ever played in the 'Cross' again as Quill. After Terry left and joined the Flying Circus, Peter Knox joined as bass player I think eventually Darryl and Keith Barr went off to form a band and as far as I know Quill ended then Peter Knox may remember better than me? I joined up with some 'kiwi' mates Claude Papesch, Murray Grindlay plus 'Ace' Follington we called ourselves haha Savage Rose and we played up the Cross at the Electric Circus, Whiskey Au Go Go and the Hawaaiian Eye, Castlereagh St. and the Here disco North Sydney. This was all in 1969 hope that's some help cheers Lynne, Red "</div>

I first made the acquaintance of Bob McGowan and Terry Darmody in the mid 60s. Bob was performing with The Sons of Agamemnon at Whitty's Wine Bar, and, Terry in the Battersea Heroes at The Last Straw (Neutral Bay). I have recently reacquainted with Terry and Bob. Have also touched base with Mark 'Basil' Butler, John Taylor and Tony Burkys. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Burkys at Taylor Square in the 60s first reunion at Manly Jazz Festival in 2009.</div>
<br />
An excerpt regarding their gig, Australia Day 1975, under the Bridge...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
.. 'They were young and imbued with the spirit of the age, and crazy enough to believe that they could make real music, and earn a living doing it. Their influences were diverse, from the crassest modern pop to the rawest Delta blues, a creative patchwork of 20th century popular music. Their motto wasn't, but could have been: “It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.” And swing they did.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To their diverse musical smorgasbord they added original material hewn from the same sources, drawing on that bumblefooted road crew, Mark (Basil) Butler and John (The Doctor) Dease, who revealed some talent as lyricists. Tony, who had been writing for several years with the Heroes, fell upon their words and made them into UBB songs, as did all the other band members. Writing songs became a way of life in UBB ...

<span style="font-size: x-small;">My mission to locate the Starving Wild Dogs has proven to be one of the most exciting ventures I have ever undertaken.

<div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Thank you Rachaell, I hung off his left leg for a while, though he did manage to escape occasionally. He had pockets of friends everywhere I have enjoyed the journey and met many people. Glad I could share this with you. The reunions are now to be held annually in memory of Wally, Paul, Jim and Mort. I have so much data to share and hope to put up a comprehensive website soon ... with a recollection of 'a week in the life of the SWD' .. so much info. to share. Red mentioned that there are also films of them at the Oxford Tavern in existence, hoping to hear more on this soon.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">'I'd love to catch up, Lynne! Reading your comments and your way with words, which evoke all kinds of lost pictures and scents and sounds has made me wonder why on earth we weren't better friends back when.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>"Thanks Lynne, I arrived in Sydney from Western Australia in the very early 60s after a brief stint working as a compositor on the old "Canberra Times" in the days before there was a Lake Burley Griffin. It was in Sydney that I first met Chris Cruise, the man I've sung and played with for more than 40 years, off and on. I'd been mucking about on ukulele and/or guitar since I was a kid and in my early teens and, thanks to my Celtic background - mixed with quite a bit of other stuff on my Mother's side – had been expected to sing and/or recite at family do's ever since I can remember. </i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i></i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><i>Had my first experience of Southern music when I heard Big Bill Broonzy, Leadbelly and Jelly Roll Morton on 78s back in 1956. Nothing was the same after that. Back to my thread. In WA I'd been playing pubs and coffee lounges since my late teens. Back in the 50s and very early 60s, coffee lounges - all called Chez something - were the only places where you could get a regular gig if you played 'alternative' music. They were later emulated for a while by the 70s proliferation of wine bars, the older 'traditional' versions of which - along with their biggest seller, 'seven-penny dark' or the 'house grouse' - were frowned upon by polite (i.e. straight) society. Anyone remember the old Rocket Range down in the Haymarket? </i></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><i><br /></i></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>
</i></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><i>I went to Tassie for a while and met John A Bird (my favourite piano man of all time), Rainer Gartz and others and re-engaged with Chris. Performances with Chris put me in touch with Charlie Watts, Wally and Phil Manning. Phil was still at school and Charlie and Wally may have been – it's all a bit hazy – it was a long time ago and I drank a lot of cheap booze back then. Back In Sydney, Chris, Lindsay and I formed the Ned Kelly Memorial Jug Stompers at about the same time as the Original Battersea Heroes - g'day Terry - got going. As I remember it, The OBH was probably the best 'sophisticated' jug ensemble ever to play anywhere since the 1930s.</i></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Taylor Square, Darlo, the Cross, was something else back then. Who remembers those three art deco flat blocks, up near the Cross, named Faith, Hope and Charity? I lived in Charity for a while. It was sort of a hand-to-mouth existence but a hell of a lot of fun. The 'real' folkies - and no slur on them intended - got all the folk gigs and the rest of the world was more interested in rock and its variations than it was in old-time music. Cheap meals at Ros Norton's and the Balkan – I can still taste the Balkan's Pola Pola – and Whitty's Wine Bar before Cec and Joan Whitty sold up and as it was before wine bars became 'in' and expensive and sold mostly Strongbow cider (blowflies' piss for anyone whoever had Mercury straight from the keg in Hobart when it was still owned by the Huon Cry Fruit Juice Company) Martin's came on the scene, opening up just down the road. For a while John Bird played piano with me at Whitty's on Saturday mornings with Hard-Hearted Hannah sleeping on the piano top as an added attraction. Whitty's annual picnic to Shark Island was always a hoot. The original Wayside Chapel and Ted Noffs - Chris and I sang at a wedding there. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>ALL the while I played and worked wherever and at whatever I could. Mines, slaughterhouses, fish and chip shop, sawmill, sideshow spruiker, remote-area construction, cook, seaman, newspaper, jobbing printer. You name it, it all added to the music and the mindset. My childhood background gave me music and songs that I could whip out to suit the occasion whether I was playing just for beers or to a paying audience. I've never felt embarrassed about singing "Old Shep", Galway Bay" or "Maggie" when the occasion demanded; though what my grandmothers' generation would have thought about Maggie played in sort of blues-guitar style would be anyone's guess. I've been playing like that for so long it gets into everything.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>FOR a while I was in a group with a psych nurse (who now has a respectable persona so I'd better not name him), drummer, the late Ed Hales, and front man/mouth harpist John Scope who may or may not - and I hope the latter - be the late. Nurse and I played resonator guitars and did recitations of current hits (e.g. "She loves You") and pseudo-musical versions of 50s rock; bad stuff like "Black Denim Trousers", "Midnight Bus" and Nervous Norvice's "Ape Call" and "Transfusion". We were named The Teen Angels: Acned music of the 50s and got a full page in the rock newspaper of the day - my mind's going, I can't remember what it was and it's packed away somewhere. Shit! I've also done the occasional thing singing with trad jazz bands. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I spent eight years in EnZed again where I was quite well known on the folk scene and came back to Oz in 79, worked at the Government Printer in Harris Street for a while then went bush, back to Tas then my old home WA and now here. Still playing of course.AllAll the while I picked up influences and experience and adding to what I played and sang. I can probably, if pushed, play and sing something over 1000 songs. Mainly because if I can't remember words or tune exactly, I improvise. I am grateful for the influences some great musos have had on me, John A Bird, Ron Davis, Chris Cruise, Garry Lambert (love playing with Garry), the late Keith Finlayson (one of Australia's most gifted and traditional blues and old-timey players, a man most people have never heard of) and a host of others.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Many of my old friends and acquaintances have left us now, but I still remember faces and names. Wally stays in my mind as he was in the 60s - age shall not weary them, or the years condemn. Jules Sackville, Take-a-Drink Taylor and a host of other characters I knew as friends; they all were part of my rich life.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I'm grateful for the friendships I had and have and, perhaps most of all, a couple of things that were said to me a few years ago. Funny, I've lived a lot of my adult life raging against my existence and trying to express my feelings in music. I knew I'd never reach any great heights because I was (and am) too undisciplined, hate authority and have always been too shy to sell myself. So I just went on the way I went, enjoying playing for myself and for the effect it had on other people. I've always doubted my own ability - I lack self-confidence something shocking - and so I could say to myself "Well at least I've bloody enjoyed it." Then in the past few years I've been told (and have read) things by more than a few musos, some of them now quite well known here and in EnZed, and listeners how much they've enjoyed listening to me over the years and, in the case of musicians, the influence I had on them when they were younger. Wow!< Thanks one and all, the shadows and the well-remembered. You've enriched my life as we drifted together and apart in the great eddies of experience and there's something of all of you in me. If I've ever hurt or offended any of you in any way, accept this belated apology. No excuses, no regrets, no "I wish I hadn't...", just a plea for understanding. I love you one and all - always have and always will. You've been my life"</i></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are the photos promised to me by Terry Wilkins, via Leonie Reid. I never had the pleasure of meeting Leonie as she had embarked on a journey to the UK just.</span><br />

<em><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dave Miller</b> "Hi Lynne, Dave Miller here, thank you so much for letting me share Leonie's photos, it was a very emotional experience for me looking at photos of my friends that I hung around with from the age of seventeen. It sure brings back a lot of fond memories whilst at the same time its very sad that some of those friends are no longer with us. How incredibly young they all looked. Mort's brother Ham Fist (Michael) and seriously is that the same Phil Wood I went skiing with two weeks ago, he'd be pretty safe in a police line up (lol). Lyn Carrick and Carolyn Smith (the Beverly Hills girls) whom I first met at the Folk Attic (their names are on that letter from Howlin Wolf) and of course Veronica Wellman and Leonie who were like sisters to me (as if I didn't have enough already - 4) and rescued me from over indulgence at the many parties at 294 South Dowling Street. These were the formative years for me as a teenage boy and I felt privileged to have shared it with such wonderful people.</span></em></div>
